Next up then must be the Grant Fox statement that Surgeon Kirwan has the full support of the Blues Board.

Big turnaround needed from ARG who are down 7-21 at oranges vs the USA otherwise we will be playing Uncle Sam in the Crockery Final at 9pm (my time). Edit: Not happening as Septics get a converted try late in the second stanza to take the score to 28-7 and ARG score after the siren to bring...

AUS v ENG in Plate Semi Final starts at 6:02 pm (Sydney Time). AUS vs winner of USA v ARG in Plate final at 9pm (Sydney Time) after we dispatch the English like their limp CWC performance.

I've been a long supporter of Todd Louden. Either the bubble has burst and he is just an ordinary coach, or Totality has somehow managed to limit his ability to succeed with the Rebels Attack. Either way, the Rebels Attack has been extremely pedestrian.

^^ Oh yes, the "moral victory" phase. I'd kind of lumped that in Step 2 - Coach Denial.

Probs not gunna happen as SAM are 26 - 5 up in QF with 2:30 minutes to go. Final Score SAM 26 - USA 15. SAM to play winner of NZL v ARG. USA off to the crockery division with us.

Could be a challenge for Ireland (Eire) to field a team at Olympics, because the UK citizens of the island of Ireland who under convention play for the Ireland RFU "national" team, would be ineligible to represent Ireland (Eire) at the Olympics.

The ARU have mandated that all competitions must use Rugby Link for competition management. The new system seems to place the responsibility for data entry on Clubs. At least one Club General Manager on the Shute Shield has described what a frustrating system and user unfriendly system it is...

@Garza, SRU rules allow for 8 replacements to be made in all competitions less the Colts 3, which is run under Under 19 Variation rules, which allows for 10 replacements to be made. Replacements can not come back onto the field. The exception is a prop who was not an injury replacement...

It is standard template stuff. The 4 steps to sack a sports coach Step 1. Team starts losing. Convenient excuses are found - usually injury crisis, or "full credit to the opposition. We have a few things to work on at training this week". Step 2. Coach denial. "We can still make...

Well done to the Beasties yesterday. Thanks for stuffing up my tips. :mad: The Beastie supporter Akubras, RM's and 4WD's would have actually been a good fit for the day.:) It could be a long year for the Corporation in the Shute Shield. IIRC the score in their trial against the Woodies was...

Be nice to join the links and have a integrated and progressive rugby sevens pathway for schoolboys. ATM it looks a little adhoc. The mens "pathway" seems to be in the process of being repathed with changes being made to long establiished tournaments, the likes of the Kiama sevens, to make...

Highlanders vs Stormers. NZ Skysports commentator after Fekitoa takes off on a big lateral cross field run - 79 minute game time. "And Fekitoa decides to take the long way round ... ... ... [he could] .. .. .. drive a taxi in Auckland" Think it was "Sumo" Stevenson who said it.

What other teams were there @Rob Hart. The http://www.schoolboyrugbysevens.com.au/ website seems to be out of date. I reckon that there may be some value in holding an AAGPS rugby 7's tournament or two after HOTR and before "proper" rugby season. If nothing else it is a good way to raise...

I think many of the NSW U20's from the Wicks will be in the Australian team. They will be required for an Oceania tournament on the Gold Coast, and then the actual Jnr RWC in early July. Throw in a training camp or two and they may only become regularly available towards the end of the season...
