Perhaps because View beat Joeys and is ahead on the table accordingly. .

robbo The ref had a good game but like players he can make the odd mistake. I have a photo of the scrum in a blog now and folks can make up their own minds, but whatever, get over it. http://www.greenandgoldrugby.com/nsw-gps-round-5-match-reports/2/ I have moderated your final remarks as...

From the Waratahs media unit: Waratahs Rugby Media Release Sunday August 4, 2013 NSW Barbarians test Pumas with impressive four-try performance A last-minute penalty goal was all that separated the NSW Barbarians from an experienced Argentina side in the teams’ first encounter in La Planta...

Thanks for posting the links to the highlights guys.

He walked back to his place after he got up but was ginger. I hope he is OK to play the full quota of schools' games before him. Fans from other schools will regret how he carved up their side at various times but true rugby lovers will look back at the rugby he played for Scots, NSW and Oz...

Thanks - Yeah I've just seen my photo - the papers must have got him mixed up with Deer who was there to congratulate him.

Anybody know who scored the winning try for Scots? I thought it was Olly Kamp, but the paper had Taylor Deer as the scorer.

Obviously he's nothing like the legendary original who coached Joeys from just after WWI until the 1950's. Brother Henry was a coach before his time and his rugby catechism was "possession, position and pace." He had no time for whingers. .

That was why I wrote my cryptic comment "Watch this space" earlier in the week. But there's more: watch this space. .

It wasn't a penalty to SJC. Both front rows went up - I have the photo; I was right there. Whether or not the scrum should have been reset is another matter - but that is not the point you made. Let's talk about a great game, not the refereeing, which I thought was pretty good. .

He's a goer - he was one of the Bulls best against the Brumbies in the semi-final. He's a 3M type - makes dominant tackles and dominant runs with the ball. Sign him up.

I didn't mean to be intriguing as I have no special knowledge, but is a general observation that posters can read too much into things such as this. Sometimes coaches just throw mud on the wall to see what bits stick and it doesn't necessarily signify a lot which particular glob is thrown...

Because such things cause discussion of the rugby to be subordinated to round-robin conversations about the other stuff. Moreover, the more other stuff gets mentioned the more acrimony is generated with people questioning the content of other posters on the matter and suddenly the GPS thread...

One of the most under-rated players in Super Rugby - even by the Bulls. He didn't get as much game time as he deserved - nor did Jacques Engelbrecht of the Kings - or is he in Japan? Not Pieter Labuschagne of the Cheetahs, surely. But they are not utility players who can play in the 2nd...

Hollaway is a bit of a halfling as Dean Mumm was for the Tahs, but I think that he will spend more time playing 6 than in the second-row. He's not really heavy enough to play lock in Super Rugby at a high level of effectiveness although some who are no heavier do play there, we know. I'm...

Well said. Guys, feel free to discuss recruitment, scholarships, bursaries, the gentlemen's agreements amongst headmasters on how the arms race should be moderated, poaching from other schools and yarda, yarda. It's interesting stuff - and it's a free country, BUT DO IT IN THE SCHOLARSHIPS...

The first young bloke I would look at is not a Uni guy but 21 y.o. Adam Coleman, who got 10 minutes from the bench against the Force. Others mention him a lot too. At 204cms and 122 kgs, he has a physical presence and from the little I have seen of him, it looks like he uses it. Apparently he...

According to Planet Rugby, Giteau has his hand up for the next RWC ******************************* Matt Giteau has revealed he would be interested in returning to the Australian fold in time for the 2015 World Cup. The 30-year-old has not turned out for the Wallabies since 2011 after a...

Anybody going to Kings v View who wants to volunteer to do a match report? Also if anybody can do a few pics for that match or Shore v New, please give me a hoy. Thanks LG .

No - born in Oz. His parents are from NZ and he spent 5 years there as a nipper. His mum's parents are from the RSA. .
