I find your comment really offensive claiming 'dodgy islander birth dates'. If you had a brain you might consider that the physical of an 'islander' is very different to those of other ethnicities. Racism is not tolerated in this country though we all know it exists!

Hi there I am new to Sydney rugby scene - last 5 yrs my son has been playing club rugby and is now playing 1st grade colts for West harbour. Can someone tell me the difference between playing in the subbies competition as opposed to the one he is in now. Thanks :)

I gave up trying to justify myself to r2d2. Get over it now mate and move on. To you Trinity people what has happened to Jake Roberts? Have his injuries got the better of him or did he see sense and concentrate on the academic advantages of going to a school like Trinity? BTW r2 I don't know...

I was at the CCC vs CHS 1 game. I was rather disappointed with the CCC team performance. They looked shell shocked, nervous and some of them lost! The coach was doing just that : coaching the fullback while the game was being played - telling him when to move up with the play and when to drop...

Just for you r2d2 "wow the non-selection of Cam Orr and Malaki Afele is a statement! The CAS comp must be so strong and those players who were selected in their spots must be bloody good! Looking forward to hearing the result on thursday then i can eat my words". Hope that makes it all better :-))

Sorry for having an opinion. I am in no way involved with CAS my comments are based on watching the mentioned boys playing club rugby since they were 13 yr olds! They are classy and quality players and I hope they prove the selectors wrong in not choosing them for their first team. And to...

Sheer madness not to have Cameron Orr and Malaki Afele in the 1st XV!

I actually wonder how many U17 teams will compete? From what I have heard, a lot of the private school rep players were not allowed to play club rugby. I certainly have not seen the likes of Tepai, Jamo Clark, Cameron Orr, Malaki Afele, Junior Satiu, Jake Roberts, Connor Finn, Matt Matson, Brent...

It would be interesting to know how many of the boys will carry on given talk on other threads about league comp clashes. I just want to see the 'catkholic' boys give the other lot a good run for their money. I was at a charity dinner a couple years ago where the guest speaker was the previous...

In the U18s, the MCS team were impressive( undefeated) and so too the south sydney wollongong team. you could see from the games that most of the players actually come from a league background. Be good to see them do well though in the schools comp.

Are you an Egg or what?! It's not typical it's reality. Look mate my son doesn't go to a rugby playing school and only plays club rugby. It was our choice not to look at a potential scholarship opportunity because he was excelling academically at the school that he goes to. It is more...

Gentlemen/ladies it appears rather obvious that going to a rugby playing school is a definite advantage for progressing through the rep ranks. If your son gets offered that chance grab it with both hands and go for gold I say. Nothing in life is 'fair' that's just the way it is!

"if they toured would they be able to get an Aus passport" OMG are you ignorant or just uneducated? Congrats to the winning team which it appears the six PI boys played a big role. These boys may have been born in Oz and call themselves Australian with PI descent so get over it mate...

Get over it ! New Zealanders are proud of their indigenous people and culture and want to show the world. Every kid growing up in nz learns about Maori culture and the language so its part of us. You guys can sing waltzing Matilda if u like!

Can someone tell me what Q.Cooper's obsession is trying to injure McCaw in almost all the recent test matches? The little shit needs to learn some respect and grow up! FFS! I remember years ago when those tactics were used by an AB Mr Loe. The game has moved on from that shit in Union. Someone...

That's life isn't it? You don't reach higher honours because you've served the time you get there on merit. What is the difference of a boy on scholarship in yr 11 and one whose parents can now afford to send him to the same private school for yr 11 and 12 and happens to be good at rugby...

And why shouldn't boys who possibly can't afford to go these 'private' schools not take up a scholarship? There are two pathways to higher representative rugby honours and it appears that going through and to a private school helps a boy reach that goal. Why should a boy not have the same...

Was over it a while ago MOTH - was just sayin:lmao:!

I can't speak for all of nz but in the Wellington region kids play rugby for a club until they reach high school (college). They then only play for school teams ONLY. I have never heard of any college boy playing in a colts team for a club while they are still at school. The pride to rep your...
