Most AAGPS Schools have between 8 and 10 of their regular starting 1st XV committed to the Athletics programme. The trials during the Athletics season allow the coaches to give fringe 1st XV players an opportunity to stake a claim to a jumper, or to try players in different positions...

Looks like The Secret Squirrel was nearly there. No Hutch, but Joey the Whippet has been added: Sam Croke (starting) , Jack McCalman (bench) and Joey Fittock (starting) have been added to the squad. They seem to replace Wilkin, Gunn or Fakaosilia, and TBA outside back ? The Supernumeraries for...

Refs seemed to be onto it in the Saffer games.

Far too quiet. Read this wide ranging and rather thought provoking article on Auckland (NZ) 1st XV rugby from the NZ Herald on line: http://www.nzherald.co.nz/rugby/news/article.cfm?c_id=80&objectid=11442568. On Filming/Streaming 1st XV games: One school that has taken a contrary stance is...

@Cranbrookrugby said "Cranbrook have alot of fixng up to do, on the other side aloys could be in for a real good season with a strong scrum and a few big backs"

A few obstructions in lineout rolling mauls were penalised in this round of Super Rugby games. Still some inconsistency in those rulings across the officialdom but good to see that some appear to have read and understood Lyndon Bray's directive.

Bonus Points proving to be decisive. If Rebels win their next game, they will have the same win/loss record as the Ponies after the same number of games played. Lions currently have the same win/loss as the Ponies yet languish in 8th place not 3rd. With 2 wins from 11 games, Auckland Blues...

They kick the ball after every set of 5 hitups in Mungoball. It is not called fivekick for nothing. A set of 5 hitups tends to take about 1 minute. In an 80 minute game of Mungoball, there are then about 80 kicks. How many kicks are there in an 80 minute minute game of Rugby? Because they...

Having lost a couple of acquaintances to the Black Dog, I'm more concerned that the song could be construed as promoting suicide as a way to deal with depression for fiscally challenged unemployed, and hungry young men. http://www.beyondblue.org.au/
