Here is another message from Dr. Lambert to Scots' Parents and Carers, referring to the untruthfulness of the accusations and other comment in the media on the matter. ******************************* Dear Parents and Carers I have promised to keep you updated on the media interest...

From the headmaster of Joeys to their Parents and Carers: ******************** Thursday 26September 2013 Dear Parents and Carers, Over the past few days you will have read or heard of various media reports regarding the actions of a number of schools concerning GPS sport and GPS...

Outstanding report Newbie and an outstanding result for Fiji U/18. I wish I had gone now. Newbie do you want to do a match report on the main game next Tuesday for a blog? I will do the other game. PS - or would prefer to do the Oz A v NZ match (and the Oz v NZ match on 5th Oct), since you...

They usually televise a replay of Oz Schools v NZ matches in Oz some weeks later to fill in their programming after the various footie seasons are over. When Oz tours NZ, a rugby union country, it is live in NZ and therefore Foxtel taps into the live feed because it usually not on the weekend...

The Spectator - Thanks OK - you do Qld Red v Juniors Day 2 Tues 1st October - anybody for 10.15 am - Brumbies v Victoria 1.30pm - Qld White v WA 2.45 - NSW Schools v NSW Country - or either Div II game? Please advise.

Thank you but actually you can't do both because they are on different Ovals and the times are staggered. I have you hired for the first one - or is the NSW Schools v Country game the one you really wanted to watch without having to write a report on it. Please advise. .

Match reports for Day 2 Tuesday 1st October. There is a conflict of Schools fixtures because Oz A Schools and Oz Schools are playing at Knox, starting at 1pm. Bummer. Since I will be at the Knox games, as will "Hugh Jarse" and "George Smith", Day 2 could be a washout unless we have more...

The same evening is no problem compared to having nothing. See next post - maybe someone will volunteer for the NSW Schools v NSW Country because it would be hard for you to do go home, do your video thingo and also do a report by midnight. .

Dell struggled in the second half of the GPS season and had to retire before the final whistle against Shore and Kings (at least) - and he missed the last one, against Scots. As Newbie indicates: his absence is going to be significant. .

God Bless John Hipwell and commiserations to his family; I don't think he would've minded a comment that 65 is a young age to get the red card from the Big Ref. I didn't know him as other forum members did but he was one hell of a rugby player, who played for the Wallabies in three different...

Would forum members please let me know if they are attending matches at the Oz U/16 Championships and are willing to write a match report or two on some of the matches. They need not be full-blown reports as we had every week for the GPS matches just the vibe of the flow of the game - the...

Here is a followup response from Dr. Lambert to an article in the SMH ********************************************* Saturday 21 September 2013 Dear Parents and Carers I wrote to you yesterday about a matter of principle. Some GPS schools believe The Scots College is ‘buying’ or...

People didn't mention Horwitz because he was one in a generation player: he wasn't. There were comments about him because he was very good for an 18 y.o. and was already starting first grade for Randwick this year—and he held his place to the end of the season. The other two were picked...

Did I say that about about McDurling? The memory fades - I probably mentioned his being a Thorn type at the schools or club level. The TH lock was not relevant in Eales' time as the power hit really hit its straps about 8 years ago and that's roughly when I started mentioning it. The power...

I would have said "the rougher details" but I know what you mean. Give me a "shorter" tough guy in the second row of average bulk, like Brard Thorn, every day of the week rather than a big boofhead. Thorn wasn't bigger than the average test lock but he was strong and played bigger than the...

There is news on the response by The Scots College to claims that they are breaching the GPS Code of Practice. It is here: http://www.greenandgoldrugby.com/community/threads/school-sporting-scholarships.5780/page-127#post-538771 Please do not comment on the matter in this thread. .

Since the news of the basketball boycott is common knowledge, I think that The Scots College has a right of reply and it's fair enough to express their views and what they are doing about the accusations. Here is a message from the headmaster to parents and carers supplied by someone...

There is a blog on Cheika's presser here: http://www.greenandgoldrugby.com/waratahs-name-2014-super-rugby-squad/

One of my all-time favourites is Steve Merrick. When he was asked why he gave up his chance to earn money playing rugby he said he didn't want to live in the 'big smoke'. He said he wanted to live in a place where he could play cricket in the streets and didn't have to move the stumps all...
