Univex......whatever happened to Riverina Rugby....the mighty "Boiled Lollies"....Wagga, Albury, Yanco etc.....Under what banner do they play (Hard to imagine Vic Rugby....but perhaps ACT).....

I know that you are correct in saying that this problem is Sydney wide, but I feel more significant in the West because of the demographics. If they don't make the grade, most simply keep on playing with their mates and it is easier to stay with what you have than sometimes to change back to...
