Team lists for the 1s out at Nth Parra, as published. Dylan Pietsch in at 8, and Rhys Millar at OC for Kings look to be the changes to the run-on side that played against Scots here a fortnight ago. And for Scots, big Tom Yassmin comes onto the Right Wing.

^^^^^^ Agreed, Az. Chicken & Pesto would rank alongside 'Curry Chicken' as a wanna-be "on trend" pie flavour, but not every main course dinner is worthy of making it into a quality pie crust. Due to the absence of any creditable POTY contender coming out of the Newington College bakehouse, I...

Team Lists for New v View 1's, as printed

Aaaahhhhh, Saturday dawns. Fine, clear, a light zephyr wafting in, pie ovens warming up, tom sauce bottles topped up, jerseys pressed and folded, stray socks located, mouth-guards rinsed and packed Gawd I love Saturdays! Just LOVE them! Have another grand day out, all you lads that're playing...

Newington host Riverview in Round 2 in what shapes as another chapter in what I reckon is an epic recent rivalry. (I 'fess to not being around since the 1890's Az, so you'll have to forgive me about the "recent" reference.) Few will forget the drama at Stanmore in the final Round last year...

Agree with much of what you say @Wristman in terms of the Kings and Scots 1's. How much can change in a fortnight, indeed? Weighing up the match-up this weekend, I do hope your right, but... A couple of Kings players didn't play in that trial game 10 short days ago and am expecting they may...

Poor kid; feel for him (and his parents!). Nick has always gone at it really hard. All good wishes to him for a speedy recovery.

Was in tears, Az. Some more GAGR "Gold"...! Was only thinking this morning that one of the things I love to do on a Sunday morning now, apart from ABC's Insiders, ABC's Offsiders, walk with the bride and pooch, coffees in the Village, then ABC's Landline, is to catch up on the veritable 3-5...

^^^^^^ It was an instinctive, primitive, reaction @SDW, sparked by the vision of those rapidly disappearing handfuls of greatness. The mere thought of missing out for a 2nd year running was simply unbearable for mwa. Like a fired up Maori Wrass moving through a school of pilchards, I wasn't...

@ LG, I'll pay that. The Joeys "Rowers Lot", even at last year's pricing of $9 a throw, is indeed noteworthy. Having started yesterday early out at Kings with a Kings BBB (Big Breakfast Burger, w/ double fried egg, 2x sausages, bacon lashings and onion pile); followed by the casual destruction...

^^^^^ Heavens, @NIS, you gave me a shudder for a moment. I had a dark thought of you catching some of the Canteen action with your lens. Scary stuff

Yesterday's most unfortunate incident, which blighted Round 1 for many, and the spurious allegations about who caused it, needs to be corrected for the record. I refer, of course, to the dear Mums at Shore running out of the best pies in the business, and, so it would seem, all the BBQ sauce...

I had similar experiences last year - no more Az pies, no sauce, etc, and vowed no repeat of it this year. So, I went hard and I went early today, and took no culinary prisoners enroute, and probably have scant need for dinner

The pitch invasion after FT today at Hunters Hill looked similar to the New lads' version of the same, coming down off the northern hill after the final try was scored in New's win over View in Rnd 10 last year, but without the temp fencing getting flattened in the process. None of the umpteen...

Just to get you all fired up, Az The Mums from the Shore Canteen send their love

Team Lists for the 1's @ The 'Bridge, as published, no warranties!

Undoubtedly, Az! But once it's for keeps, I'd expect you to be easily mistaken as some latter-day Dave Brockhoff equivalent down in the Kings' sheds before their regular 3pm exits, stage left, so we've really not all that long to wait. ;)

I predict with an almost fearless level of certainty that with "Watty Friend" they have in Azzuri, so unabashedly in their corner, that all things Kings Rugby 2016 will be and remain front and centre on all forms of GAGR media for the duration. "Watty Friend" indeed! It'll be Brilliant Az...

HJ, you realise of course that that Newington Teacher's nick-name from today forwards, will simply be "Kevin". In the corridors, in the staff-room, on the fields...

Agree wholeheartedly QH, that's surely what players and spectators of the grand arts really want from the Refs (fair & consistent across the full 70'), and what will keep all and sundry turning up to watch fine young men like these going around at this level for years to come. The whole scene...
