I don't reckon they will be available. They have a game against the Barbarians on Tuesday night. The last thing that Coach Thompson wants is a bloke injured in a Colts or club grade game. This squad needs to spend as much time together as possible to perfect their combinations and intuitive...

^^^^ @ Derick Slater. Jack McGregor was not initially named but he was an injury call up while the tour was in progress and IIRC he was named in the 23 for the NZ Test in Porirua(#22), but I don't think he took the field apart from for the Anthems.

Thanks for explaining the new format @Gary Owen III. It seems to make a degree of sense, and Monday was always a bit flat for those teams who had travelled some distance, and were beaten from pillar to post in their pool games by better prepared squads. Now kids get a go at challenging...

From 2014 Australian Schoolboys team, the following are believed to still be at school, and under 18, and therefore would be almost automatic selections for 2015, subject to form and fitness. There was no Australian A (Australian Schools Barbarians) selected last year. Prop - Gavin LUKA —...

But the State School lads have the CHS representative team to access "the pathway", and the Catholics have CCC for likewise. NSW Country Schools just seemed to give country lads a second bite of the cherry to access "the pathway".

So after all the rigmarole, assuming the qualification tournaments go the way of the series results as @D_Box has identified above, it will be a fairly fair collection of countries at the Olympics with the only real surprise omission being Samoa or Canada, whoever loses the final Qualification...

Wondering if they will follow that same philosophy of "separate but together" for the younger age groups, where the Country Zone teams are likely to be more numerous.

Would you please define the "better" pathway for the bush players? Currently there are three pathways, and IMHO this is one too many as I do not believe that there are enough players, coaches, administrators and volunteers around to sustain three (+) pathways, Junior Gold Cup, Junior Club and...

^^^ That seems to suggest that Central Coast, Central North, Central West, Hunter, and Far North Coast Country Zones will not be playing any Metro teams in the Under 17's. No Illawarra, Mid North Coast, New England, or are they playing in pools with the Metro teams?

Only a couple of weeks until the Long Weekend. How are the team selections and trials going? What Districts or Zones won't be turning up, particularly in the upper age groups? Which age groups will have Inter-State teams entered?

No snouts have any inside story on the ISA Opens and U16 selections?

Score of the Newington v TGS games reported on the NSW GPS thread:

The Septics show the value of blistering pace in Rugby Sevens, and the criticality of making your tackles. Look out world. Perry Baker and Carlin Isles are whippets that run like lightning, but in addition to that the team are now tackling, rucking and also producing 110kg monsters that can...

Cup SF2: USA v ENG USA get double meat early to take a 12-0 lead with 3:30 left to oranges. Soap Dodgers take an intercept off a very lazy offload from USA for their first possession. Meat and chopsticks. USA 12 ENG 7. 2 1/2 minutes to oranges. Captain America (Madison Hughes) returns...
