Yep I was maybe a little harsh and Harry will likely improve. I think this is why Valetini was preferred in 2021, he was tighter plus just that little bit better getting over the gain line. One thing for sure Aus have some quality in the back row at present.

True, but when he came back from overseas he signed a two year deal with the Brumbies and then a 1 year deal for the Tahs, the best years were behind Elsom whereas the best years for Mowen were in front of him who went to the Brumbies after the Tahs recruited Elsom. The Tahs I think released...

I like Harris being retained as No 8. He reminds me of a Ben Mowen type player and Ben Mowen became better in time. In-Fact, Mowen played his best rugby at the Brumbies after the Waratahs discarded him for the returning Elsom. A big mistake as Mowen went on to play and captain the Wallabies. The...

Does anyone know if the Northern Hemisphere Tests are being televised free-to-air and if not will they be on Stan? Thanks.

Swindon at 6 Here is a team I posted back in July a weekness is no goal kicker so Nick White to half back instead of Mcdermott. If a few risks aren’t taken you get the same result year in year out. I would be pushing Wright or Kellaway back to Shute shield and giving them a go at flyhalf...

Yes, about the only time I watch the NRL is if Manly are playing as I am much more a rugby man now having played the rugby at school and then on at Uni. I grew up at Bayview Heights on the Northern Beaches. I use to go down and watch the rats play as a young kid. I live in Melbourne and miss Rat...

We are not saying it is a known outcome, however if the experimentation works well then Australian rugby benefits and we are more likely to beat NZ and win a world cup. We need not only composed players in the side but as many players with X-factor. It is easier to train composure than X-factor...

That is my thoughts exactly Adam, promoting Harrison is not experimenting. In my post I said he plays to deep which is why even in an under-performing Waratahs Donaldson looked better. I must admit though Harrison is the most accurate Goal kicker in Australian Rugby at present. Not saying...

Nothing against the performance of the team on Wednesday night as they showed a lot of heart but if coach Rennie wants to win the bledisloe and world cup I think some changes need to be made. I am aware that some of the players below are not available due to injury, however when they are...

I am sure everyone is aware that the underlying issue, 'argument as you call it' is 'not what the young boy said about cheering at the game'. There has been sufficient discussion this year about what the underlying issue is which I'm sure you have read. I will leave it at that.

Respect your opinion Flavio and perhaps it was not the right place to raise the issue and I don't necessarily like the academic focus the school is taking either. I was not at the game, however, this is what the parent of an Aloys year 6 boy wrote on Facebook regarding what his son told him...

Putting some of you lads on a football field, it seems, could end in a clash not dissimilar to the ending of Anchorman.

Apologies Snort, I was actually wondering why Barker4peat said what he said, 'against snorts rules', but now I realise that all you are looking for are logical reasons as to why you think a team will win or come last in the competition and fair enough. I agree totally that Aloys will likely come...

Snort, Why then do you think that Aloys will bring up the rear? I remember a couple of seasons ago Waverley were being touted as premiership contenders yet Aloys beat them 22 verse 5.

I would like to see Donaldson continue at 10 even when Harrison is fit. I remember him playing for Waverley and the kid had some talent. I always thought he should of been given more of an opportunity at super level. Harrison, has had far more opportunities yet hasn't really nailed the position...

Probably unlikely that he would want to leave the Brumbies and not sure when he is off contract but I would like to see the Tahs target someone like Tom Wright. I think he is a great winger but feel he would be an even better player at 12. I was watching some highlights from his schoolboy days...

Yea, I recon Will Harris had a blinder. I think he won't just be coming off the bench, I think they will be rotating Harris, Dempsey and Swinton. So should get plenty of game time. Should Swinton, Harris and Harry Wilson remain in Aus rugby I think you will see them battling each other for both...

CAS Rugby1010, if that is true, that is great news. Let's hope they have a much better season than this year. I think Cranbrook a few years back had a lot of injuries and was in a similar position to Aloys this year. Cranbrook since have been competitive. Hope Aloys can do the same.

Just wondering if anyone know how many of the Aloys boys are in year 11?

I would just like to say that as an old Aloys player myself I wouldn’t be sprouting too much. As A few of the Waverley posters found out It can come back to bite you. Not sure what the school rugby program is like now, however, I feel if Aloys wanted to remain competitive in rugby they should of...
