^^^ Match review is up on the front page of the blog. http://www.greenandgoldrugby.com/review-chs-beat-cas-in-nsw-schools-trial/

Josh Dowsing seen here as Samoa Captain for the Oceania U20 tournament. Didn't seem to dominate there as much as he did against us in the big show. Interesting that Dowsing was not wanted by the NZ U20 selectors after attending their U20 Trial Camp in early March...

Maybe I was a little strong in my assumption above, and they were missing some potential game changers from the professional ranks through injury but injuries are a fact of life, as is a pro player delaying minor surgery until the end of the Super Rugby season. When is Slippery Pete off to...

Occasionally there is a rough cut diamond unearthed from 2nd division or unfancied teams like ISA 2nd XV (Ned Yeomans), ISA Div II (Ben Black - Chevalier), CHS 2nd XV (Lukhan Lukhan Lealaiauloto-Tui), CCC (James Dargaville), and AICES (Matt Dunning) teams that go on to Aust Schoolboys, or the...

IMHO the Sydney Stars made a strategic error when they registered for a NRC licence. I suspect that they anticipated that they would get access to all the ex Sydney University players who were playing as professionals around the various Super Rugby Franchises. Many of their former players...

^^^ Is that what is wrong with Italian Rugby? They have named 28 Avanti (forwards) and 22 Trequarti (Three quarters) in their RWC squad. Where are their half backs (mediano?), five eighths (cinque ottavo?), and full backs (terzino?)? :)

You want NZ to go back to back in RWC, unlike '91, then the simple solution is to stop them wearing Raybans sunglasses. It was the rockstar sense of entitlement and the view that they just had to turn up to win Bill that scuppered the '91 campaign for NZ. Even though there are a few...

Unless it is 1992, and you are playing Wesley College 1st XV and their lock is a young bloke called Jonah Lomu.

Slipper vs Quade, and who comes alone to watch. Actions by The Golden Slipper win as many games for the Reds as does Quade, however most of what The Golden Slipper does occurs well before the ball crosses the chalk, and many punters are unable to make the connection between the actions of an...

Deegan's ours. Reds should make a grab for Horwitz if you don't want the Alstonville boy, McIntyre. Cheika doesn't seem to want him. The point that we all know is the Reds need a quality 10 and if QC (Quade Cooper) is gone, then they have to leave no stone unturned in the search to replace him, even going...

[Sarcasm] is good. I am sick of posters moaning about referee performance on these threads. It is not a good look, and seldom is there any whinge when Sir has dudded the opposition team. All sour grapes which doesn't portray Gaggerland, and in particular Wallaby fans on here in the best light...

I reckon the "give 'em whatever they want" is a little shorter: QC (Quade Cooper) LF Gill McIntyre Fakaosilea Unfortunately Reds HQ may have missed the boat with QC (Quade Cooper), which means throw a kitchen sink with all the extras, and some, at McIntyre.

You need to ask?

I heard that as well. Just like the bloody Whitelocks. I hope there isn't a third Savea. Apparently Dad played for Samoa at RWC in 91, and Mum was a NZ Womens Rugby Team player. Good genes in the Ioane bloodline.

There is a Skelton mark III floating around, who is allegedly bigger at the same age than his two elder brothers. There is a photo floating around somewhere of him at 13 or so standing next to Tala Gray and towering over him. The photo doesn't show on my laptop, but I am using an old version of...

Side bar: Waikato Development XV apparently "acquired" Cameron Skelton last year after he played for Samoa at U20's as a 19 year old rookie in his first year out of school. He hasn't been selected for NZ U20's (he was born there) this year, nor Samoa (despite representing them last year as a...
