yes, he plays in the mid north coast NSW competition, and plays a little bit of 1stXV. While a good achievement at 16 the competition certainly does not set the world on fire in terms of its standard. He certainly wont be playing 1stXV at Rotorua Boys and my belief is the mother is trying to...
they should plug the gap in the shute shield where the Hunter dont have teams. For example the Emus 1stXV could play in the 3rd grade comp etc... whilst EMUs colts 1stXV play in the 2nd grade colts comp. This could work until they build up the strength to go back to 1st Grade in Sydney where...
Vunivalu was an adult when he moved to Melbourne, did all his schooling in NZ. He cannot possibly have the same connection to Australia. Marika did not move to Australia until he was an adult again no deep connection to Australia, completely different to your pococks, samu's hardwicks etc...
Hardwick moved to Aus as a kid and was schooled here, Lynagh again different kettle of fish as he has a connection to Aus. I am talking about players with no connection to Australia and purely playing for Australia based on where they are contracted.

Why? I am simply saying we should stop importing players like Vunivalu, we have enough talented players that we dont need to continue to import players from Fiji etc... everything doesnt need to be deemed a racist comment
I was in Hawaii at the end of last year and we ran into Donaldson and his partner at the Yard House in Waikiki. An absolute top bloke, we ended up having a few beers while watching the NFL, he chatted with my 14 year old Waratah mad son for ages and we asked the question around his thoughts on...
mate we are based on the Gold Coast, there was no rugby competition on the Gold Coast this year in the u14 or u15 age group. There was a combined u15/16 comp however all the 6 teams in that bar 1 were u16. if you are a kid on the Gold Coast you have to either travel south to the Northern NSW...
If we look at it as a glass half full arguement, England bowed out in the pool stages at their home world cup in 2015 yet by 2019 they had made the final. I'm calling it now we will win 2027 World Cup
