As random2 indicates: O'Shea has been in red-hot form for the Twos and deserves a shot playing flyhalf in the Ones - where he will shine next year, I'm sure. Hanigan plays no.8 for Joeys and was missed last week but the backrow subs have played well this year and the shifts in position...

Yep - he played wing for NSW Schools U/16 last year out of Alstonville High and had an outstanding tournament.

Yes - and he played in the Oz Under 20 team this year in France as did Jonah Placid, Lalakei Foketi, Tom Staniforth, Jake McInytre and Angus Pulver - from last year's Oz Schools team. He is a natural talent and as a senior player I think he will be wearing the 7 jersey. Not to the point, but...

If somebody finds a stream that works, please provide the link. Thank you.

Agree Vegas - and I confess that I haven't been diligent enough in vetting such stuff. Posters should refer to the Rules of the Schoolboy forum thread from time to time. In post # 5 it mentions: 2. Speak respectfully about the players...

Agree that it is surprising. You can see why Hooper won and Folau got 5th overall: because they would have hogged whatever points Tahs players got. On the other hand: Brumbies' and Reds' players, whose teams made the final, had more players who were candidates for whatever points their teams...

Apparently the lad who threw the ball out did it is a league player, and just did what he did instinctively. He must have been devastated.

Different strokes for different folks but I could not disagree more. I'm loving the home-and-away season. .

I can recall only one game where Sio started at THP - and that includes his school rep games (in which he also played no.8). That game was for the ACT when they played Wales in that 2012 mid-week match. Years ago when the French got dispensation to use 23 players (including six front-rowers)...

The question then arises: what is corroborating evidence? But even if a poster has a copy of a letter from the school formalising the scholarship (as unlikely as that would be) should we name, say, a 16 y.o. boy who has received such, in a public forum? The more I consider the matter, the...

I didn't know that.

Some players like it better in the west. Pek Cowan told me he did.

I can't wait until these scrum ELVs become law. It will take a while for the referees and players to come to terms with it but its effect should be salutary after a while. Some people have mentioned dominant scrums. There is nothing more likely to neutralise the effect of the dominant scrum...

I would like the views of people who write in this thread as whether or not it is proper to mention a schoolboy's name when talking about scholarships. In the post above I have deleted the boy's name, even if people can work out who he is - in which case maybe I should have deleted the name of...

This post of "TheKing" was posted in the Qld GPS thread but should have been posted here according to forum rules. I have copied and pasted it here for him - LG Just had a conversation with a GT source who has a source who has a source coaching at Churchie, and the message regarded X. I'm...

It's amazing how you can adapt to doing something like that. I don't understand French but I watch a few games of Clermont that are not available in English - although I know most of the regular players, which helps. It makes you concentrate a lot on who has the ball, something one gets a...

I'm not really au fait with streaming. Can someone advise how the second game can be watched? What do you do? Did people watch the first one live (not just the highlights afterwards) by using the link supplied by Santiago - if not, how? .

Guys let's stop talking about poaching, scholarships, recruitments and just talk about the rugby. Experience has shown us (on the NSW GPS thread) that such talk can lead to a rugby thread becoming a 50-50 scholarship discussion thread and when you mix the two flameouts occur. But when...

Sorry - I was just responding to your quote without reading the other stuff. Just something to do. .

I was just answering this question: — with this It seemed to work for me at the time — it looked like a duck etc. .
