Ok, so that clears it up. You just hate the Waratahs (the organisation, NSW Rugby in fact), their players, and all their supporters. Nothing stereotypical there at all, as you were.

I don’t see where I mentioned the Qld team. I know you’re a Queenslander and I agree they will be fine, the point was that the Brumbies that you love will all of a sudden be playing for NSW, who you hate. Not sure what a NSWelshman did to you for you to hate NSW with a passion. I have lived in...

This origin thing is going to be interesting for you when 2/3 of the Brumbies trot out for the NSW team. In fairness you won’t be alone, BR will have the same issue, although he will just complain there are too many Tahs players in the NSW team.

Waratahs centre, one of the cases Kafer cited: Bayley Kunzele (22) or Joey Walton (20) over Matt To’omua (30)

I don't mind it in the example you are talking of because the older players are only in the mix because of an exodus, so it makes sense to invest in the future in that instance. But that's different to picking Joey Walton over Matt To'omua or James O'Connor. By all means include them in the squad...

The objective of test rugby is to pick your strongest team and 'test' it against another nation's test side. Especially the case in a Bledisloe series. I have no issues with form based attrition, but dumping someone because they are over a certain age is stupid.

Except for the second rowers, it was pretty unanimous for the team this week: 1. J. Slipper (BRU) 2. B. Paenga-Amosa (RED) 3. T. Tupou (RED) 4. C. Neville (BRU) 5. L. Solokai-Loto (RED) 6. L. Wright (RED) 7. F. McReight (RED) 8. P. Samu (BRU) 9. T. McDermott (RED) 10. J. O’Connor...

First two Bledisloes both to be played at Suncorp on 10th and 17th October. Wallabies to base their bubble at Sanctuary Cove.

^^^ Dan, GRR has been shelved for the same reason as other international sports competitions at the moment. I read somewhere there was a virus getting about.

I really don’t see how the situation can get worse TBH. It’s not an ‘announcement’, it’s an update to kings parents. There is no doubt division, it’s not hard to work out which schools would be favouring academia over sport, and vice versa. A balanced and logical outcome would be preferable.

As opposed to the ‘everyone else except independent schools can play’ at the moment. I don’t think it’s that, just seems the education department is in charge of decisions around school sports, whereas the sports department is controlling decisions around community sports, and they have...

A few less this votes this week, anyone else before I roll out the team in the morning?

An update sent to Kings parents: For the past week the School has been seeking to work with the NSW Government and NSW Health to get consistency across “community sport” and “school sport”. Under the current arrangements, community sport is able to proceed across different regions, but not...

No just the committee responsible for the 2027 RWC bid.

I didn’t think there was any malicious intent and at worst it should have been a penalty. But I’d agree it’s also silly to say Newsome wasn’t in a realistic position to catch it.

Oi !!

I would concur with this. I watched the game live at the pub over dinner so am just subjecting myself to a proper watch now. Having read this comment beforehand I have been making a point of watching him, but even then I’m struggling to find him. I’m only at half time though, maybe he has a...

Yes true, what I was saying was that the Brumbies were clearly the better team and would have won regardless. I still maintain that but you are right, who knows what the psychological impact would have been for both teams if the Tahs went to the break with a lead.

No what we decided to do was just do it for the last five rounds. The team at present includes the votes from round 5 but they will drop out at the last round. The ‘team’ for the last two weeks will be the most interesting as they will be the ones where all teams have played the same amount of...
