Can't see a thread for this. 3. JOC (James O'Connor) 2. Cummins 1. Sharpe

There have been occasions when I've wanted to mention some tidbits I found interesting, or quirky or funny, but they didn't warrant a thread on their own. If you have some things along the same lines or trivia just whack them in here. They may not be of interest to anybody else but you never...

Wallabies banking on UK tour after World Cup to help plug ARU $8m financial black hole Iain Payten The Courier-Mail February 08, 2011 12:00AM THE Wallabies could tour the UK after the World Cup to help plug an $8 million black hole in the ARU's finances for 2011. The radical step...

Recently I started a thread about the best historical XV from players who attended the same school. On this thread list the best current senior players XV from the same school. The rules are: 1. Only their current senior form should be considered . 2. As much as is possible players...

WARATAHS The Tahs will be strong at prop. They have 5; so don't need one in their SRT Group. LHP – Robinson and Kepu THP – Baxter and Ryan Utility prop – Tilse and at a pinch, Kepu. All are known quantities except Paddy Ryan, who replaces Palmer in the Tahs stable. He ran on a lot for...

EDIT: I'M GOING TO STICKY THIS THREAD AS IT'S A GREAT ONE DURING THIS TIME [MODS]. I don't know if this should be in the Grassroots section or here, but since bugger all forum members visit Grassroots, and there is a lull in rugby of interest to most members - and it pertains partly to the...

IMO the SAffers have the best referees in the world and Craig Joubert is the no.1 ref in our sport, even though he's not that high on the SA merit order. A year or two ago I read something written by a SAffer fan deploring the fact that the RSA had the best refs but because of the neutrality...

Any schools thread, and especially this one, should not refer to scholarships. We started a separate thread for discussion on scholarships for the 2010 season because whatever rules you have people are often compelled to mention the subject; they can't help themselves. They often mention...

From AFP American 400m Olympic champion LaShawn Merritt received a 21-month ban for an anabolic steroid which his lawyer claimed was contained in an over-the-counter penis enlargement product. The 24-year-old - who is also the world champion at the distance - tested positive three times...

If Oz residents want to see the Heineken Cup on TV they will have to subscribe to Setanta. When the HC is not on you also get to see 2 or 3 Avira Premiership games a week plus 2 or 3 Magners League games. There are also weekly highlights shows of all the games in the ML and AP plus a Rugby...

John Smit won't tour with the Boks because he's had an operation to repair a disc in his back. I would have rested him anyway and put him on a diet. Victor Matfield would be the logical replacement, but Chicken Legs should be rested also. I'd give the captaincy to Juan Smith - or maybe Schalk...

Eyes and Ears posted this in another thread but I think it deserves a separate one: Please write definite info only. Also - If you know for sure they have been picked in one of the academies then nominate whether as a professional or amateur. Thang Q

No, I have no post to make but from time to time I have seen posts that were about Sydney Colts, or parts of posts, in other threads and frankly I would like a bit of info myself about who are the up and comers and how the comp is going -- so go for it. Please feel free to start a Brisbane...

Use this thread to: 1. List state teams selected for the Oz Championships 2. Discuss games played in the tournament 3. Discuss the make up of the Oz Schools teams

This thread will be started sooner or later so I thought I would kick it off by asking forum members to list players from the 2009 Qld state teams (Is or IIs) who they know are back at school this year? Thanks. I will keep updating this lead post as info comes in. After the state teams are...

TPN and Fat Cat are still in doubt for the Highlanders match. Kepu is out for 4 weeks with a torn calf muscle and Freier has a hamstring strain and is likely to miss the Highlanders match. There probably won't be a lot of joy for Rob Horne either...

Don't know where to post this but a thread for the next game will do: Taking the bye into account. As I wrote when the Tahs were "4th" after the Force game: Every team has a possibility of getting 5 points in a game. The teams who have played 7 games could have earned 35 points by now, and...
