And so we come into the last round of the GPS thirds competition. And what an enthralling competition it has been. As we enter the last round, TAS with a bye is guaranteed a place at the top. Who would have thought it? I wasn't sure at the start. I simply didn't know how good this year's TAS...

Sorry for my slow response, KOB 1987. TAS wasn't in the comp then. 1987. Sigh. That was the year I moved back to Armidale for a period and eldest was born :). I only have two girls; eldest is my Rugby watching partner. She even paid for us to go to NZ to watch a World Cup match!:) TAS has had...

So would I! Still, it would be bit dicey. I watched TAS and Scots in the sevens. Big difference in standards.

Thanks, appreciated! :) Well done Nick.

Please, pretty please, some reports?!

For personal reasons, I am not going to be able to make the TAS matches today. GRRRR! Here is the Armidale Express story on today's game. Yes, I know that its local, but its nice to get the coverage forGPS Rugby -...

As we get into the last rounds of the GPS Rugby, this competition has become far more interesting in all top three grades than many (me included) expected at the start. Its also been good to get reports on some of the lower grades, thus presenting a broader picture. With Scots v Shore in the...

Those Shore boys will be both disappointed and stoked.

Don't know final score for TAS v High, but FB photo just came up showing Buddy Mumbulla scoring try to bring score to TAS 19, SBH 0

As a former forward, I think of us as the legions, highly disciplined, controlled, the grunts who made things happen. As a breakaway, I think of myself as a member of the legions' special forces with the capacity to break away from the pack to inflict targeted pain, I mean tackles. The modern...

Oh dear, SoC, you do tempt me. I used to be able to translate the girls followed the sailors into the cave, the farmers chased the sailors from the cave. If I were to be tempted, I might say that Scots (and some other schools?) belonged to the later Roman period when entire legions were...

I will follow up directly with Wreckless, Brian. But QH's comment on UNE classics reminds me of two stories. Having failed Latin, at TAS, I decided to do elementary Latin as an extra at UNE. I failed again (!), the only failure on my transcript, but our UNE Latin teacher was a great cook. And...

It's a hard life, Wreckless! I will put you down for a signed copy. :)

:) Writing. My main project is a history of Northern NSW, the tablelands and surrounding river valleys to north, east, south and west. The book breaks into three parts: Aboriginal New England up to 1788; the Colonial period; and then New England in the twentieth century. And yes, it includes...

It does indeed, Jasdec. Love it! :) Its not just the boys who are looking at the for and against. Now that the full draw has been posted here I can play a bit. But not tonight. I have a book to finish!

Thanks, IS. Then that should mean Grammar on 16 points. It's interesting, and its part of the tense nature of the competition, that TAS should be on sixteen points too. On this basis, it comes back to who Scots is playing and whether they can get to 16. The best that View can hope to do is 13...

You capture my problem IS! I don't have the draw in front of me. Does anybody know who Grammar and Scots are playing in these last rounds? That will give us a clue.

I wonder if anyone is brave enough to forecast the thirds? At the moment, we have Grammar, TAS and Scots on 10, Riverview on 7, High, Joeys and Shore on 6. Grammar, TAS and High have the bye up their sleeve. Next weekend TAS plays High in Armidale, then View in Sydney. On paper, TAS should...

Oh dear, that takes me back! I can imagine. :)
