    Rugby News from unexpected places

    He returned to the set up for the Olympics but he's very capable of playing professionally in the 15 man game and he has a far more earning potential than in 7s. Would like to see him back in Super Rugby personal.

    Declining participation and ARU plans for the future

    Haha. I was actually watching the Womens qualifier series being played out in Hong Kong last night. The game featured both Japan and Fiji. Japan were clearly the better team winning 55 to nil. Anyway, as I was watching I was considering the recent news of Alisports investing in the game and...

    Declining participation and ARU plans for the future

    According the Aust. Sports Commissions report both the Sydney Sub-Districts and Juniors witnessed some growth this past season. Not a great deal of growth (1% for subbies and like 5% for juniors) but still growth. If nothing else it appears to signal a stabilisation. But you're fairly on the...

    Shute Shield 2017

    Also, back when I was involved Colts played at different venues such as Latham Park. Doesn't that still occur?

    Shute Shield 2017

    Split the games over two evenings of play. Colts and 5ths play friday evening and 4th through 1sts play Saturday evening. Just for the first four weeks. Or you could look to schedule games at clubs that have access to multiple fields. As I've said previously it's a challenge but not unworkable...

    He moved on almost immediately after the Super Rugby season finished.

    Shute Shield 2017

    It's been a bit of a farce for a while in some respects and not always at the clubs doing. On the information evening held as I was moving into Colts their were players showing with I kid you not, player agents. For Colts.

    Rugby News from unexpected places

    Apparently Yamada is weighing up several offers from Europe and the US. His wife is actually American and that's where the family reasons are coming from. So he might be popping up in PRO Rugby. You also overlooked Andrew Duralto. The Eagles no.6/7. I thought he equipped himself very well last...

    Declining participation and ARU plans for the future

    I didn't intend for it to be an SS or NRC. Preferably both. According to a discussion on fb the ARU have been consulted on the changes. But there does seem to be the idea that the compromise should be the ARU moving the NRC. Considering it's the SS clubs who want to alter the calendar and the...

    Declining participation and ARU plans for the future

    I come at it from a slightly different place. I have been a Randwick fan for as long as I can remember. My father was one so naturely I followed. I've also played for the club at junior rep level and later Colts. I have also been an avid follower of the Saturday game since I've been at least 12...

    Shute Shield 2017

    Why would you need Super Saturday's? Scheduling a round at say Concord would still be the same in February as it would be in June. It would still the same number of games as at present. As for the heat. Well, perhaps the should just cancel pre-season training. That occurs in the summer months...

    2012 was only 16 rounds.

    Shute Shield 2017

    Well, according to a discussion I'm having on fb with Michael Bell (not sure if its the same M. Bell formerly of Parra and now West Harbour) the ARU should look to just move the NRC back to accommodate the SS. You know compromise. The argument completely overlooks that its the SS who want to...

    Yeah, it's complete bullshit. It's a clear attempt to interfere with the NRC.

    Shute Shield 2017

    Apart from Cricket what other sports would cause issue? Even with Cricket you're talking about only four grounds. Sure, not ideal but certainly not unworkable. The solution isn't that complicated. The four clubs that do have issues with accessibility start the season with a series of away games...

    Broadcast options for Australian Rugby

    Well, TOCC mentioned that more details including the location of the teams is set to be made public on Wednesday for the Womens 7s league. Also set for September apparently. So we will have something to take to market in 2017. Hopefully the ARU can capitalise on the recent drive to get Womens...

    NRC onwards and upwards

    I was referring to a project that would have beenva continual effort over a number of years. Time is the key in the equation.

    Declining participation and ARU plans for the future

    I would like to get a good look at the program overview if one is available. I think there's strong potential out this way. We have three clubs (I recently discovered the existence of the Macarthur Crusaders) in the area. Plenty of primary schools in the area. In regards to the Camden Rams alone...

    NRC onwards and upwards

    If you spread the net wide enough you should be able to capture a broad spectrum of kids that will allow clubs to cover any gaps.
