    Round 5: Brumbies v Highlanders, Sat 25 March, 7:45pm AEDT - GIO Stadium

    With regard to the last 3 posts from IS, I agree The refs got it so wrong with the offside call on Speight. Not only did it cost the Brumbies 3 points from the Highlanders penalty goal, it stopped a counter attack so brilliantly created by Speight . If it was the AS who made the call then he has...

    Shute Shield 2017

    Concentrating on his career but loves his footy so you'll see him in the lower grades. Will he be back in 1st grade by Rd 4 against Northern Suburbs ?- I hope so! His strategic kicking from FB was a feature for Uni last year. Who will wear 15 this year? Either James Kane , up from Colts ...

    Shute Shield 2017

    Uni are extremely fit , thanks to Tom Carter and co. DT , how did the Uni backline go? While Uni have played some preseason matches, it was the first outing for this combination . 9 Tom Koerstz, 10 Ben Hughes, 11 Christian Kagiassis, 12 Connor OShea, 13 Greg Jeloudev, 14 Josh King , 15 James...

    Rugby 7s general chat

    Well maybe Andy Friend and his Sevens pathway manager should spend more time watching their own code. Last weekend at the Australian Club Championship there was a fantastic playmaker in UQ halfback , Sorovi and as for truly flying wingers Syd Uni's Narracott blitzed them. Did either of these...

    While on the subject of vineyards ...... Since you're coming over in Round1, throw a case of "its finest" under that Inside Shoulder. According to AD, you will have plenty to celebrate!!! He might be right.

    2017 Under-20 Competitions including Oceania & World U20s

    From a somewhat unreliable source, my son, Guy Porter is still in rehab from shoulder surgery. As such , unlikely to be available for selection in NSW Gen Blues U 20s, I would think. Unfortunate for Guy - good player . Believe he is still with Syd Uni so hopefully see him playing later in the...

    Sydney Colts - 2017

    @Shadow Interestingly you don't include Norths? I would like to think the epic 1st Grade premiership would see an influx of young Colts, wanting to be part of a successful program . There have been some colossal matches against Uni in recent years, none better than last years 1st Colts GF.

    The long term injury to Lewis Holland has really hurt us. It appears HH was the stop gap solution. surely this wasn't a last minute decision, so HH must have been showing decent form at first receiver in training otherwise why would Friend take the risk. Will Friend persevere with him in...

    Shute Shield 2016

    As are we all. But the weather forecast is a worry . Are the council likely to close NSO if we get heavy rain? Is there a contingency plan?

    Shute Shield 2016

    Coach @ #2122. Thanks for providing the rules . Clearly playing Dowsett, Wells and Gibbon is within the rules so I guess it comes down to the individual clubs as to whether they wish to make use of this provision. I doubt Uni really care whether Dowsett and Wells play or not. Hickey is...

    Shute Shield 2016

    No it didn't , which is why winning in the forwards is vital. Usually the team with the dominant forward pack ends up with more ball, in better field positions to score points. Of course, a spectacular backline can feed off scraps of possession but not often . So does either team in the GF...
