What the hell was the bloody 'spiders' thing they kept coming back to? I couldn't understand the reference or gag. SBW must have been reading the dictionary in the off season, some pretty big words there. To be honest, I thought SBW was the best commentator they had (JK seemed to say nothing...

Jipper is James Parsons - first time I've seen on the Sky team. Definitely a step above Joe Wheeler!!!

@Dismal Pillock interested in your thoughts on Ta'avao's on field performance and Jipper's commentary.

I thought Cranbrook had a trial game against Scots on May 4th?

I watched the whole game and was really surprised about Patty - nothing seems untowards during the game. Also, the Japanese commentators seem to love Corey Evans (who I thought had a brilliant run).

I reckon if Tahs had their stuff together we'd see some trial games played as curtain raisers to the Tahs Super games during the trial period - especially some CAS v GPS school games. I find it hard to believe the schools would say no to a run for their 1st XV at Allianz stadium during trial weeks.

If it's like last year, it's not round robin - but Scots 1st XV playing 1 schools 1st XV while the 2nd XV play the other schools 1st XV. (This all just from the season fixture published on the school hub, I don't have any other knowledge beyond what was posted on the fixture list!)

Scots: 6th April: Scots 7s & Cranbrook (H) May 4th: Kings (A) May 11th: Stannies & Scots All Stains Bathurst (A) Then Round 1 with Kings at Home.

According to Scots season fixtures there is a trial round against Cranbrook on 6th April (same day as Scots 7s). Don't know anything beyond the fixture printed and shared via the school hub.

Brilliant, love Patty. Maybe this will be the year....

Does anyone have know when this will be generally public? I can't see it on Rugby Explorer, Rugby Australia Website etc...

https://www.vsru.com.au/history A mixed bunch of from various school associations, but nearly all private. Most run only 1 or 2 teams in opens. There are also a few high schools with programs outside of the VSRU (but not many, maybe 5 or so).

Real or not? This article is much more explicit that EJ (Eddie Jones) is going than either SMH or AFR reports posted earlier. https://wwos.nine.com.au/rugby/world-cup-news-2023-eddie-jones-wallabies-coach-to-resign/2c9815be-05dd-41fb-b4f7-ba471bcfc95b (I think this it right thread for this - the...

There is this version of touch, which I wasn't sure if it's NRL owned or Union Owned. https://australia.rugby/participate/touch-7s 7 touches, but allows an offload.

I like 'injury only', where in community and school games it means replacements must have played a previous game on the same day (except for lowest grades where everyone gets a game) to maximise teams, games and game time, and for the pro game it means replaced players must not be included in...

No. Law 18.8.a (table): A player, in their own half, kicks the ball indirectly into touch in the opposition’s 22. Either the team did not take the ball into their half, or a tackle, ruck or maul took place within the half, or an opponent touched the ball within the half. This variation does not...

Probably somewhere in here! https://resources.world.rugby/worldrugby/document/2018/07/04/a0f85e72-af4f-472d-ade5-4ee3e18bb8d1/20180310_Convention-constitutive-GIP.pdf

For 1) technically the law applies so that yes, in the field of play (i.e. if not over goal line) the tackler must release, and then the ball carrier may immediately reach out and place the ball in any direction (i.e. touch it down and score). For 2) even if a try is scored, the law states that...

I'm looking forward to the report - as I reckon we are losing more through fear and uncertainty than we will when the actual data comes through.
