I understand Johnson wasn't available for Test due to a hip injury he sustained in the game against Hurricance Schools.

He was the outstanding backrower for Australia `A' when they beat Fijian Schools in the wet @ Knox Grammar. I was somewhat astounded when he wasn't named on the bench for Test against Fijian Schools. He is one for the future!

Ah yes-to yee of little faith. Tremendous to see a win- look forward to the details. The Aussies have had an injury/sickness plagued tour but obviously there is talent in the entire touring party- they have won where no other Aussie Schools rteam has ever done so. I had noted that the NZ team...

Obviously I've become an astute student of the game- Harvey was named co-winner of the Catchpole Medal(?) last night with some dude from the Rats(no disrespect meant)

Randwick 25 Gordon 22 @ Rat Park. Apparently a tryless first half & Gordon came out firing after oranges with 2 quick tries. Randwick came from behind with `regulars' Tuiranui & Frier to the fore. What a rort!!!

Did anone see the Test curtain-raiser- Australian Schools vs Fijian U18s. Apparently Fiji led with some 15 minutes or so to go but an converted Aussie try ,resulted in a 24-18 win. I understand that it has since been discovered that the WA scrum-half Turner has left School and is now at TAFE...

You could have joined me under my umbrella Lee. Despite the weather there must have been 1500 people there, including Robbie Deans. Until the double sending off it was a close match- but this ended with the send offs. The yellow card for `a xmas hold' was undoubtedly justified but the red card...

Well it's going to change next year. For a number of years it has been suggested that the GPS & CAS associations should merge their Rugby competitions and play in 2 Divisions, possibly: `A' Joeys,Riverview,Kings,Shore,Knox,Waverley & Barker `B' Scots,Newington,Grammar/High,Aloys,Trinity &...

Ahoy Lee Grant- were you @ Riverview/Joeys game yesterday. Personally I was somewhat disappointed at overall standard of match. Lot of errors, especially by Joeys backline. Riverview sweated on these, especially their final 2 tries, which won the game. Riverview's lineouts were pretty average-...

Re: CAS Final Showdown Very big crowd @ Barker on Saturday for the CAS showdown. In the 2nds the Ref allowed the Barker centres to live offside for much of the game which nulified the usual Knox wingers' try-fest. To their credit Knox switched tactics and played the game through their mobile...

CAS Final Showdown Should be a big crowd @ Barker(Hornsby) this coming Saturday for decisionmaker in the CAS premiership. Undefeated Knox Grammar take on Barker College who have had 1 defeat. However as Knox drew with Waverley College earlier in season, Bsarker are only 1 point behind and if...

Watched the Rats/Highlanders on the tube-those ABC commentators waffle on! Yes- some mysterfying decisions. Gordon lineout struggled yesterday-they were without Kingsley Seale and he obviously makes huge difference.

I too trekked out to Milner to view the Eastwood-Gordon derby. First grade game for me this year as I normally attend the various School games. Took me back to regular Sundays @ Milner when we had the likes of North vs South Harbour, City vs Country & various Barbarian games. They were great...

Yes, he's a big boy. Saw him play for Shore vs Knox earlier in season. Well controlled there. When he played for Manly vs Gordon is State U17 final he was outstanding in 1st half, scoring 2 tries. However in 2nd hald they realised he doesn't pass the ball much and he was tackled out of...

Hooper has played with Manly Club team and Manly Rep team from around the 11years age group upwards. Over the years Manly and Gordon over been the dominant teams at annual State Championships. This year the 2 teams drew the Grand Final. I think I recall Hooper's father (Dave?) was a 1st Grade...

Yes- actually it was Gordon 14s & 15s- my son was playing in the 15s- which in fact was a very patched up team with numerous forwards playing in back line. THe 14s had close to full team- but yes lost to WA in a boilover(don't think the local ref helped. The 15s beat WA and speaking to John...

Interesting- Daryl Mitchell is the son of John Mitchell(Western Force Coach) Saw him play about 18 months ago when Gordon 16s & 15s toured WA. Mitchell if a fly-half and fancied himself as a goal-kicker. Be interesting to see if he has develped further.
