Here's a clip of the Qantas Wallabies meeting the Australian Schooboys for a jersey presentation. Great to see. Based on the team from last week, it looks as if it wasn't a full strength team, so I'd have to agree that there'll be a few changes to the side.

Quickly also, as pointed out by many from the results of the national championships. I'm curious to understand how ACT have 3 players named in the squad, whereas Vic only has 1? Victoria belted the Canberrans by 30+ points? Not to mention, ACT finished second last? I'm not for saying that...

I'll have to disagree on the point of Hutchison's defence. Contrary to your belief of defending at wing being an art, I believe it all comes down to the decisions of the outside centre. The 13 needs to make the correct decision and the winger must react to this. But against the Kiwis the 13...

No, I'm not saying a Marist parent reffed because the appointed ref didn't show up. He was the appointed official for that match. Now I understand that I'm looking at this match with a one eyed approach, but even so, a Marist parent shouldn't be allowed to ref Marist matches. Especially at the...

Haha, well that's why I was hoping I could here another spectators opinion because I may come across as one eyed as I was supporting Daramalan yesterday. Well I'll start with the most controversial point and stupid call of all, which was allowing a Marist parent to officiate the match...

Anyone else get out to watch the Marist vs Dara match today? I'd like to hear your thoughts before I go on a rant. That's not to say that one team deserved it more than the other, but the refereeing was very poor.

It was a similar story when Dara faced Auggies. The score at half time was 19-8.. Full-time score was 72-8. No doubt St Augustine's are a quality school but the difference shouldn't be so large. Extra training/development may prove to be part of the answer, but it seems the boys probably just...

I'd love to see a victory by Daramalan to be honest. I really believe they are the dark horses of this competition and it would be good for them to make the Grand Final for the first time in a very long time! Just like the glory days of the school. The current year 12s at Daramalan have...

It will a cracking match to go watch this weekend between Daramalan and Marist. Whoever wins will finish 3rd and whoever loses will finish 4th. (Remember Dara did beat Marist 23-7 in their last meeting) This is crucial to both sides as making the grand final will seem near impossible if they...

Is it wrong to raise discussion about a controversial issue and the lack action towards the incident? There is a lack of leadership at that club which has filtered down into age groups as young as 13, it needs to be addressed for the up and coming juniors.

Another game, another fight from Uni-Norths.. The game between Norths and Grammar was called off on the weekend. I witnessed their antics against Daramalan, I heard of the fighting once more against Wests and then this week they did it once more. I suggested that they should be kicked out of the...

I don't mean to sound pedantic but Hutchison is not spelt 'Hutchinson'. Great work by the young lad, he was out-sized, but what he does have that can't be taught is pure speed. Some say he looked to go a little sideways at times but he is a very determined footballer who does understand the need...

Have yet to hear from someone actually at the game I must admit. However, there has obviously been some discipline issues as I've heard now from 3 sources of multiple red cards. If you have watched Uni-Norths play this year, you'd agree that the team is a mess. Each week they have new...

I've also been told this. All I've heard so far is that there was 3 red cards for Uni-Norths. What that ultimately suggests is that they once again turned a game of rugby into thuggery. It hasn't just been the two games that have got the headlines where the team has acted inappropriately, this...

Watched the ACT schoolboys play against Victoria before the Brumbies last night. The team lost 25-19, but the scoreline suggests the game was tighter then it was as ACT scored at the end of the game to get to 19 points. It was pretty poor result really, as ACT should be beating Vic. The one...

I couldn't agree more with your comments on the eddies forward pack. A lot of talk about Tyrel Lomax and Folau Fafita, however I believe all of this talk is just from the pre-conceived idea that they are good because of their size. I've watched eddies a few times this year, and to have two props...

I do not know if scholarships are being offered. And I agree with the point that others have made which is that some players go to Eddies to play for a good team. A classic example is Tim Reeves, Jordan Hope and Brendan Trudgen all leaving Daramalan and going to Eddies about 2 years ago. Now the...

St Andrews forfeited

You say grammar and norths for 4th spot.. is that assuming Daramalan come in 3rd place?

What did Eddies win by? And who is the Norths fullback? Is he white, black, or polynesian (tanned) ? I'm not asking in a racist way, I'm just trying to pin point who it may be.
