I will argue against the use of sport as a recruitment tool. The success of school 1st teams in my view is for Old Boys to be able to reminisce about the good old days and relive their sporting dreams through players that are well beyond them in terms of talent and physical development. From...

We used to do it with drop kicks about 10m in from the sideline before training. Quite a few of the guys in my team became very good at it yet we never tried a field goal in a game. Waste of a skill really.

I think that a Lions v Barbars game will draw more interest in HK that a Bledisloe test. Most of the expats are from the UK and they would love to be part of a Lions game plus its on the way so they might as well stop off in the same time zone and play a game

I was pretty young at the time but from memory and footage I have seen Ella wasn't a chuck it wide kind of player. He played flat and followed the ball to secure multiple touches. I think Barnes has all of the skills required to do this. Not wanting to start a Reds v Tahs argument but the Reds...

Soccer is a fantastic sport for spacial awareness and teaches players to look forward for opportunities and space. This is a great skill on a rugby field where most youngsters normally concentrate on the opposition and not the opportunities available. In terms of touch it all comes down to the...

I see that the BJRU are changing their program for U16 & U17 players for 2012 with the hope more school players participate. Would be nice if this happens but I know of at least one 1st Xv coach who has told his players not to be involved.

Where are you moving to? What school will you be attending and do you plan on playing club rugby? Where will you be living? Can hook you up with some good rugby people if you need any help and are in South East Qld I might be able to hook you up.

I am the first to agree that McCaw gets what he deserves on the wrong side of the ruck but attacking the eyes has no place in rugby. I would be happy to see a 3-6 month ban for this.

But to play for the teams that he did you have to be the best and that is what he is. The fact he turned down an All Black tour spot because he didn't think he deserved to be there at the time shows that he has great expectations of himself. I remember at the time thinking he was crazy but he...

Bangkok 7's have been called off due to flooding in Thailand. Sunnybank will only be going to Singapore now from what I hear.

It would be good it the ARU created a points system for all of these comps so that there was a national 7's champion each year. I think it may get a few more clubs interested in fielding teams.

He also seems to mistake hope from supporters that the Wallabies could win as a reason for Deans to stay. There were quite a few here that questioned our ability in attack leading into the game.

Dragons Prepare for Bangkok 7s 19 October 2011 Sunnybank have announced their team for the Bangkok 7s to be played on the 29th & 30th October. The team will be without Captain, Danny Routledge and powerhouse forward Ben Adams who will be in Samoa with the Australian team at the FORU qualifying...

Newstar defeated Sunnybank 19-12 at the Byron Bay 7's on the weekend. Newstar is a team made up of players who are managed by the Picone brothers.

Well done New Zealand. You were the best team last night and I doubt any team could have beaten you. Now make sure you come out and show us all how rugby should be played next week. I look forward to being entertained.

Will support whoever play the NZ.
