At certain AAGPS schools, pupils have been caned for having the temerity to even bring a soccer ball to school. let alone wanting to play the game. How things change?

They'd be very good at mentoring the 20 aside (Mass) Debating teams.

Not Super Rugby but the New Zealand Rugby Team seemed to do OK with their 4th choice Flyhalf at a recent big tournament.

I look forward to hearing how the mechanics of the Colts Rugby draft will work. Do players that miss out on being selected for State or Aussie Schoolboys not have skills or ambition? Which clubs are the "Wealthier: clubs that are "spiked with state schoolboys" producing cricket scores? Where...

^^^ Doesn't that just reinforce the perception of low standards in French Provincial rugby and the poor decision by Dingo to select The Brand at 10. There are plenty on here who believe that Former Wallabies plying their trade in French Rugby should not be selected for the Wallabies no matter...

While it is fairly one dimensional, the analysis from last year shows that discipline (technical (cynical) offences and foul play) is an issue for nearly all clubs to address and not just our favourite love to hate club. Something about glass houses. 34 Yellow cards represents 340 minutes of...

First it was teams not contesting lineout "mauls", now it is teams not rucking. Read this thought provoking article on the subject of the Chiefs tactic of not rucking, and referee responses. http://www.the42.ie/analysis-chiefs-super-rugby-tactics-2013507-Mar2015/ Getting too clever for the...

Only the rockstars from 1st XV come to Sydney from Kinross, Stannies, and the occasional guest appearance from All Saints Bathurst for the Trials. On a normal weekend, it is all teams from the school that head for Sydney. Huge difference in the logistics.

For the record: Australian Men’s Sevens results in Tokyo, Japan, 4-5 April: Australia 10-12 Portugal, Pool B Australia 14-17 Scotland, Pool B Australia 19-14 New Zealand, Pool B Australia 14-5 Kenya, Bowl Quarter-Final Australia 17-12 Wales, Bowl Semi-Final Australia 12-17 USA, Bowl Final Final...

Clay Brodie was the replacement Prop for the Beasties @Wamberal, but it was his brother Rhys, that had played for Australian Schoolboys. Rhys is in Easts Team Rehab.

Crowd seems a little thin in Tokyo. Almost Gold Coast-ish. With RWC 2019 being held there, I hope they do some more marketing.

Ding Dong battle between SAF and FIJ in SF. Last thing we need is for these two heavyweights to tire themselves out and grant the final to ENG who should be fresh from a cruise against Canada. Soap Dodgers get 22 points, we get 8. They will take a lead of 8 in the overall series table with...

Thanks @Rugby Mum. It is important for parties to know that acts of thuggery are not isolated to players/clubs from west of the M7 Motorway. Edit: Incident from a few pages back.

You reckon Sir John Kerrwin has any chance over Richard Graham in the Dance of the Desperates at the bottom of the Ladder?

The Boyos go ahead in the Bowl SF against the Men in Gold. WAL 12 - AUS 5 with 4 minutes to go. Soap Dodger lead in World Series looks like being stretched. Tom Lucas responds in kind after great line break by Ed Jenkins. WAL 12 AUS 12 with 2:00 to go. Clarkies Boy gets some meat to...

^^^^ For clarity, did the lad who was carded and suspended for 11 weeks for the incident in the Norths trial come from Penrith?

Lots of QLD players finish School in their Under 17 year. Not so in NSW. One would be looking for the NSW JCG lads to make their tilt at state team or Combined States for National Schoolboys in 2016 when they are Under 18.

NZL out of the Cup. 1st ever loss to the Canucks. 15-19. CAN vs ENG & FIJ v SAF in Cup SF. Come on Canada. Games to come: Shield SF ARG v KEN HKG v POR Bowl SF WAL v AUS SAM v USA Plate SF JAP v SCO FRA v NZL Cup SF FIJ v SAF ENG v CAN

Meat Pie to NZ in 18 seconds. Can it get faster? Perhaps if it was Carlon Isles who took the catch off the kick off.
