A squad like that has been posted on Wikipedia (with the addition of the Wallabies like Skelton, Foley, Phipps, Dennis, Folau who won't be seen in a Stars strip). It is a funny world when Wikipedia can scoop the official announcement. No detail on the 2015 squad on the Stars web site...

There was always going to be injury call ups with a squad announced so far in advance of the fixtures. Always has been and always will be. Last year we lost Hutchison and Crichton before the NZ tour. @10to12, I'd be surprised if Luke Lough wasn't already in the shadow list, and if he is...

^^^ At last count Joeys has 42 Rugby teams across the age grades. How many teams does Augies have? The Joeys approach to rugby seems to be that they see value in games for all 42 teams, and not just the 1st XV and Age group A teams.

While it is yet to be formally announced, but his photo has been published on the internet in Sydney Stars attire, Theo STRANG from Scots College will be playing for the Sydney Stars in the NRC this season. A big call from the Sydney Stars selectors, and a huge vote of confidence in him.

Some good suggestions about game day field dressing, and match day protocols (roping and qualified AR's etc). As there are only AAGPS competition points available at 1st XV, 2nd XV and 3rd XV level, the threat of loss of competition points will not work. The best way to make the desired...

USA, Fiji and Wales will be easy games, even though the last two are in the RWC, and are ones to experiment with "combinations" if TGC actually doesn't know what are his best combinations by now. Against the undisputed #1 ranked team in the World is not a time to experiment, particularly when...

I wonder whether the "overuse" of Spidercam is part of a long term strategy to help "educate" referees in the dark arts. It certainly showed up Mako Vunipola's inability to pack or push straight on the UK tour last year, and showed similar from the NZ pack on the weekend. It can only be good...

Why are we experimenting in the decisive Bledisloe Cup match, and at Eden Park no less? Rinse and repeat. Simple.

Which of this years CAS Representative Team Players are in Year 11 or in Year 12 doing pathways and will still be at school in 2016? Pretty sure my snouts have got this listing correct, but if there are any errors, I will amend the list from any corrections posted below. 2016 "Incumbents"...

Apart from end of season 2015 reviews, and comment on the ISA Div 2 Finals matches, which still should be on the ISA 2015 thread, it is time to move on to next season. Who will be back for 2016 ISA Opens Teams? Very few Rep players will be returning, and almost none of the 1st XV. I've...

Subtlety clearly doesn't work. Further mentions of individual player foul play will deleted and posters will be banned. Did this get the message through?

With TV deadlines to meet for the First Grade game, is there enough time between games in the lower grades for extra time to be played? If they make provision for extra time in the lower grades, then there will be long periods of nothing happening during the day, as the draw is not a common...

Jones is a good player with a fair bit of potential. He has a tonne of gas and a monstrous kick off both feet. As a very loyal Rat, it would have been a brave decision to move from the Rays, but what else is an aspirational footy player going to do if the Rays selectors overlooked him? Maybe...

No Headmaster, or Head of Sport/Director of Rugby condones foul play, and there is often communications between the parties after the games that the internet warriors don't get to see or hear about. If you feel strongly about the event/incident, it would be best to make sure that the incident...

A starting 15 from that squad would looks rather similar to the team that The Corporation wheeled out for the Shute Shield Finals series, and they were beaten by the Hobbits and MMM. Against an almost Super Rugby team like Rising, or Vikings, the Stars are going to struggle. Possibly another...
