What about the other 20? You pick one kid who is doing something noteworthy apart from Rugby and think that explains away a cynical process of buying a premiership. No one says the kids on the scholarships are not great kids. It's the morally bankrupt method of the School that people object to...

That's a long way from: "Defense - I think it is now equivalent to a Larkham or Merhtens. It isn't awesome, but it isn't a reason not to select him."

He misses more tackles due to his positioning before contact than anything IMO. The one last week against the 9 being a good example.Had he tracked on a flatter line, he would have removed the step inside as an option for the 9. And he would not have needed to hit the brakes at all. He's not the...

Good question. What does merit an "allrounder scholarship"? Surely the website clearly lists the number available and their selection criteria? Still waiting for you to explain the yr 11 draft.Can't see anywhere on the website where they have 6 or more spots available.

In that case, they would be taking up scholarships that the school lists on their website,but alas not the case. You are correct that the School was keen to grant scholarships to more rounded students than just Rugby players. You will find several of the 1st XV also feature in the athletics...

The main reason I think he shouldn't use the last series to promote playing open exciting football, is because they didn't play open fast Rugby last time around.

If you are promoting Quade style Rugby as the best option, that is fine. But you cannot reference the style we played in the last series to support that view.

He was 28 when he debuted in France. Read the threads for the Wallabies at that time,for over a year he was vilified on here, for his continual "crabbing". Many here believed Robbie gave him the benefit of the doubt for way too long. Do you understand that french provincial rugby is a lower...

All the players you quote were at the end of the careers. people don't like being told their time is up. Gits is a perfect example. The very posters that were screaming that Gits was fucking hopeless,and had no right wearing gold,are now saying he was not treated with due respect in his final...

Toughen up Princess.

And a stack more in the 2's I would wager!

I'm not sure he was obligated to tell Quade before the team was announced. There is no doubt his later comments were not helpful, and were ill advised. He had the high ground,he didn't pick him, there was no need to add anything further. anyone who thinks Quade will run out in a yellow jumper...

Do they consider Domkins a lock or a flanker?

Yet another great post Lee. Always a pleasure to read them. Keep them coming please.

This is the bit that makes me spew. Forget names,if any 20 something thinks that the coach has to make special considerations for them,when they are selected to represent their country then they can go and get fucked. It is an honour,not a right,and they paid a shitload to make it even...

Maybe Robbie is just looking after Quades interests. Remember how that toxic environment was tearing Quade apart? What's changed? Apart from the fact that the hissy fit didn't get rid of the coach.

The modern era? That's the period after the good old days isn't it?

How do you turn a match thread between the Brumbies and the Tahs,all about the Reds?

22 all. Didn't see the game, but 3rd hand he was solid but did not have his usual impact. I did however get glowing reports about his younger brother who apparently was outstanding in the 16A's. Scored a belter of a try apparently. ps: I was also told that the program listed every team the...

I would reckon that BB put an end to Quade being selected in the squad tomorrow.
