    Rio Olympics

    How many swimming medals would we have won with that mentality? It is the Olympics and that is the biggest show in town - end of story. The best available should get the gig, whether they have "worked for it" or "earned it" by "doing the time" or not. That being said, Rugby sevens has...

    The impending Hooper vs Pocock Dilemma

    ^^^ Not a bad point @Bullrush, but being that puts him in the same select group as Owen Farrell, Freddie Michelak (2012), Tom Croft (2009), Mike Blair (2008), and Steve Thompson (2003) Not that I am suggesting that BamBam's nominations for POTY were motivated by the same criteria as that of...

    Galloping Greens

    Tis a good effort indeed, and Wix must be getting excited in the prospect of taking out Club Championship from the Corporation. One of the challenges the Wix will face in the next few years is how to accommodate all the talented aspirational players they have recruited, or who have self...

    ^^^ I assume that you are referring to Magnay as "Big Red". Does that make AK (Andrew Kellaway) "Little Red"?

    Super Rugby 2015, the run home

    The final looks like being in the Cake Tin. Canes are on currently on 48 points with 5 games left, and they should win at least 3 of them (excluding BPs) which will take them to 60 pts. Chiefs are next best on 38 points with 5 games left, and if they win all 5 with 2BP games they will also...

    NSW CHS Rugby 2015

    Typically they name 38 (2 teams of 15, with 8 bench for the 2's). The bench for the 1st XV come from the 2nd XV game. NSW Schools name 2 squads of 23 for National Championships because the 2's can't bench for the 1's.

    NSW CCC Rugby 2015-2016

    ^^^^CHS have a 2nd XV for a very long time. Nothing new this year. CCC 2nd XV may not be as competitive as AAGPS 2nd XV, or CAS 2nd XV, but they would most likely perform better than AICES, and be a suitable replacement for NSW Country Schools.

    ^^^ What about the results of Game 23 and Game 24 at the trials in Wagga Wagga? Games updated on the CHS website on 12/5. OP above edited. Do we have a scribe on these threads that was at Wagga Wagga and who can put together a report (300-400 words & some pix) on the trials?

    Super Rugby 2015, the run home

    Bloody hell. Ignoring the anomaly of the second NZL team languishes in 4th place on 38 points, there are 8 teams with between 34 and 29 points, technically 3rd through to 10th on the "proper" ladder. Those 8 teams are all trying to squeeze themselves into 4 finals positions. We may need to...

    Reds 2015

    Well, the Coach says it was the players fault. One of the players says it was not due to the lack of effort from the players. Then if it was the players fault and not the Coaches, and the fault of the players wasn't because of the lack of effort from them, does that lead to the conclusion...

    2015 IRB Junior Rugby World Cup - Italy

    This is where they can play, noting that many of those named can play in more than their "preferred" positions, and they will be required to do so as the uncertainties of tournament play, and limitations of an 8 man bench, dictate. Prop Cameron Orr West Harbour NSW Matthew Sandell Sydney...

    HSBC Glasgow 7's (Round 8) 9-10 May

    Interesting performance from Rasta all round. Not sure that Curry should have been awarded the YC, but then Curry's try was a bit dodgy - perhaps an attempt to square the ledger a little for the earlier non-tries. Cracking game of sevens fitting for a final. Pity about the weather. It's...
