Pope Francis was a well-known admirer of rugby, particularly for its themes of teamwork, loyalty, and respect. He has praised the sport's "loyalty and respect" and likened it to a metaphor for life, highlighting the need to work together towards a common goal. He has also spoken about the physicality of the game, acknowledging that it requires "running together and passing the ball".

RIP. Papa

  • Sorry for any miss spellings
  • Galligan not Captain of Rugby (Just captain as of now) He very well may be but from what I’ve heard it hasn’t been decided
  • Still a few missing gaps with some players still out, but with players starting to return this team is starting to take place
Big movements within 2s and 3s as of know aswell, I’ll get to that soon.

Yours in sporting reason, a sane observer

Don’t quote me on this but I believe his league team has progressed so will be away for another week and therefore missing Lennox. Regardless of this I think he has injured his ankle and he will be back for the game against Barker… Get ready!

So yes obviously those 2 which would make a huge difference, I don’t think there is anyone else. As for Hamilford, there are many over him I reckon.

I believe that Mosman didn't field a team in the gala trials.

I also heard that Newport have asked for C grade as all their Barker and Auggies star players are no longer playing club rugby.

Its incredibly hard at 16 age group and above to play both club and school. It takes it toll on the bodies. The game is much faster than what it was say 10-20 years ago and the bodies bigger, stronger and faster which means the collisions are much more powerful thus they have to pick either school or club, and school gets the nod.

Or very simply RA put the effort in to provide meaningful competitions for kids who don't go to traditional rugby schools. Here on the Far North Coast, the AFL does it brilliantly they have the Qld All Schools where teams from all over Qld and Northern NSW play meaningful school games mid-week throughout the year to then play off in October/November to be the best AFL schools' team in Qld. You can't use the argument that public schools can't do it due to the fact the public-school teachers don't want to have the added burden of coaching a sports team as the large majority of teams that play in this tournament are public schools. It comes down to RA putting some funding into Rugby, we need to employee teachers who also are Rugby guys, we need to make schools have rugby programs just like the rugby league programs at schools
