They only took the 2. Brumbies 9 was in the squad vs Japan U23, but not in the TRC squad.

Suspect it was Eddie Garcia

Fowler's kicking seemed much more considered and effective (albeit probably a bit shorter than Prass). With Harvey at 15 (who has a good kick), very suprised to see Dillon get so little game time so far. Think he manages a back line very well. Hopefully he gets a chance vs Arg, where Aus...

Luckiest man on the field - Shore no.1. Would have been a disaster for him had Shore lost. Playing at the ball and knocking it on off a kickoff that didn't go 10m with 1 minute to go. Thankfully for him all ended well!

Penalty 40m out. Tap taken by no. 4, nothing pass to no. 5, nothing pass to 12, who gives as hospital pass to 13 (who got stripped).

Brain explosion there by Scots!

I am not sure I would say scandalous, but I would say symptomatic of a flawed process… For example, the Norths 10, 12, 13 are excellent players and easily deserved selection in the Sydney team. They have cohesion from Mosman and Norths and were selected in the Sydney Red backline. As a unit...

This is effectively what the Waratah Shield was. Post the mid 80's (when rugby fizzled out in public schools) it was mostly dominated by Canberra Schools (Eddie's / Daramalan / Marist) and was certainly a big focus at the ISA schools (Stannies, Oakhill). Every now and then, a GPS school would...

AFL actually also includes ISA (St Augustine’s).

Hi All, random question that I was hoping someone might be able to help answer… Team A player tackled by team B player. First player there is a team A support player. He sets himself over the ball on his feet (all good so far). Team B players coming into the breakdown are then being palmed...

Is Woollahra the only synthetic rugby field in Sydney?

Will be amazed if they play all the games on that field. It was that wet, people couldn't even kick off. Surprised they don't revert to place kicks for kick offs!

Out of interest...how valuable do people think these games are as selection trials? Do the selectors see these players so frequently at school and SJRU rep that they are no longer that relevant? If they are genuine selection trials (as opposed to matches that need to be won), then some aspects...

Was in the CAS Opens. Based on comments on the CAS forum, seemed that he had a pretty rough time.

The CCC no.7 is a real goer.
