What is worrying is that i believe NSW ceded over their voting rights in the centralisation (as of January). Will all states lose voting power and if so how is RA held accountable then? We certainly don't get a voice.

Andy has been part of the Irish system for years now and would have a very good viewpoint of how they have changed Irish rugby for the better. Whether he is hard-nosed enough to stare down the various coaches and teams is another thing. Also it is not a coaching role, it is an organisational...

Waugh said the DoR will be finalised before Christmas, which means someone has been found and is going through the negotiation process. Who are the nominees for the Role? Andy Friend was put forward a while ago i think.

With Sua'ali'i, Jorgo, Pietsch, the new fijian guy and Nawanatiquasi in front of him at the Tahs he could do much worse then building skills, speed and fitness at the 7s. In fact sone of the young 5/8s could do with some of that training and Saunders..

Cheika's resistance to a central High Performance role should rule him out as the last thing we need is more arrogance and infighting (can you imagine him and Mclennan getting along!). White would destroy rugby with his boring as shite style of play. If Mackellar doesn't come back then The Lord...

Any rumored players movements in senior grades?

Perese could be an option for 15 back-up. Puts in solid hits and given space returning kicks could be lethal. Running off Harrison in the 2nd half would be a great combo.

Both No.7s did well (the starting 7 is built like Pocock) and Poynton off form at the end of the season so didnt warrant selection.

NSW U18s undefeated but only 5 starters? Also, I cant remember seeing a lot of these QLD names play last week. Were they in the Schools teams or the academy teams?

do you have the full squad?

Any details, who stood out etc

It may indicate he has chosen union over league and is getting fast tracked like Jorgo, maybe even u20 WC next year.

Knox v Barker 16As last round was between two unbeaten teams. Knox kicked a penalty with 3m left to win the game by 2. Two very similar teams. Knox team beat Joeys and Shore earlier in the season.

The Knox boys and coaches all admitted Waves got it right on the day and they didn't. No sour grapes just disappointment they let a great season go to waste. Congrats to Waves. A two round comp would mean the return fixture would've been huge though.

Home and away works, in CAS Knox averaged over 40 points per game, won everything but one game, and lost the whole season. How good would a second round decider be! I know Cranbrook would sell the house to play Barker again. H&A only promotes better programs and depth, add a school champs point...

That u13s group looks to be one to keep an eye on. Shore and Joeys had a couple of great games and looks like Scots and Kings aren't far off.

Eddie loves Vunivalu for some unknown reason and if Wright or someone else misses out for him it will be a tragedy. Wright got booted for a bad game but Vunivalu is still with the squad so would assume he is a lock like Donaldson who hasnt played in weeks. Gleeson, Foketi, Pietsch and Lonergan...

Correct, apologies. Good to see they have moved it from Gillespie Oval.

Last year there was 15 games between Knox and Barker to finish the year for the Headmasters Cup. Knox won 13. It would be great to get all schools with 20+ teams again but i think those days have passed. As for the girls reducing numbers, Kinross only has 70 boys in each year and does manage to...

Barker will have a lot of 1sts players coming back, Knox about 5 (no forwards I think) but a bunch in the 2nds. Cranbrook even less.
