Not Second Season Syndrome. Tahs wheels falling off happens every season around this time. We're used to it. Historians may view last seasons result an aberation.

^^ The ARU presser from late Saturday said the team for Jnr RWC would be announced within 48 hours. I'd imagine that the phone calls were made yesterday and early today, along with some medical assessments. ARU tend to release stuff around 11:00 am or 2:00 pm. I'd back a mid afternoon...

By my reckoning this weekends trials are: Joeys v Oakhill at ? Kings v Stannies @ Bathurst. New v Toowoomba Grammar (1st XV, 2nd XV only at TGS, Internal Trials) TAC v Kinross at Coonabarabran. View v St Augustines at ? Shore v ? have internal trials. (Thanks for the info @Not in...

Disagree. Performance in Japan, backed up by losing to USA tonight knackered us, Olympics qualification wise. Worst mistake by video review? No way. That honour must belong to the own try decision in the NRC last year.

QF 4. NZL vs SCO Rain seems to have lifted. Playing surface still rather slippery looking. 3:30 left - Meat and Chopsticks for SCO after plenty of phase pressire from the Single Malts. DJ Forbes missed a tackle. Is his time up? SCO 7 NZL 0 The Ioane Kid replies with the first meat pie for...

Cup QF 3: CAN vs ENG C'mon Canada. Meat pie for Harry Jones off a quick tap. Converted. CAN 7 ENG 0 - 1:53 until oranges. As the Soap Dodgers do so often, they score after the siren to tie the game up. Oranges: 7-7 3 minutes left, No change to the score but you feel that the Soap Dodgers are...

QF2 The Power vs The Magic (SAF v FIJ) Pity it is raining, but should be a blinder of a game. Like a chess match but Semi Kunitani finally scores, converted. FIJ 7 SAF 0 - 1 minute left to oranges. Oranges: FIJ 7 SAF 0 This is Titanic. FIJ take a penalty kick to lead by 10 - 0. 4:46 left...

Cup QF 1 AUS v USA Pama Fou opens the AUS account after a minute, Converted. AUS 7 USA 0 Speedster Perry Baker scores a runaway try for USA. Converted from the sideline. 7 All draw at Oranges. Light Rain and it looks a little cold. Maka Unife breaks out for a USA meat pie. Converted. USA 14...

The Foxtel commentary team announced that Big Kev was the new C when The Golden Slipper retired from the game. It seems rather unusual that the nominated VC doesn't get the C armband when the C departs the field. Maybe it yet another example of RG's mind games he plays on the opposition...

Playing the last placed team, both at home and away, didn't result in the Tahs getting any chocolates. After our dismal, one dimensional showings against the Force, and inability to modify the game plan to suit a defence oriented opponent, every game is a potential banana skin for the Tahs.

Australia does pretty well out of players recruited from other countries, as do many countries. While we do not rely on foreign recruits, is it better that Henry Speight is Wallaby eligible, or would the global game be better off with him in our Green and Gold or the White of Fiji?

This thread is in danger of being closed down if posters don't lift their game and start abiding by Forum Rules. Leave all the off the field stuff out of it and start talking respectfully about the schoolboys. If you really feel strongly about the behaviour of one or other groups of...

Careful folks. I'm on a hair trigger today. Posts have been deleted, warnings issued.

NZL v AUS Schoolboy tests have been fairly even for the last few years, and our U20 selection and development model since 2014 appears to be significantly superior to that of 2013 and years preceding.

There was 10 minutes of game time left after "that kick" from Lilo. Plenty of time left to get more points to win the game. If "that kick" was a HUGE contributor to their loss, then every knock on, and offside from the Ponies were also HUGE contributers to the loss.

The Peter Principle is a concept in management theory in which the selection of a candidate for a position is based on the candidate's performance in their current role, rather than on abilities relevant to the intended role. Thus, employees only stop being promoted once they can no longer...
