    The one player off in every grade !! Uncontested shouldn't be allowed in finals

    No potential for serious injury if there is no pushing in the scrum

    Shute Shield 2016

    Uncontested scrums - let's give everybody the benefit of the doubt, and assume that a coach would never "use and abuse" the rule, and call uncontested scrums to gain and advantage. But it does happen. Call uncontested and your scrum stops going backwards at a rate of knots. Call uncontested...

    Sydney U/18 Colts

    Ruby Rugby - your reply is different than was provided by a SD official (in the stands on the day), but that's not surprising considering that I am receiving feedback from supporters of two competing teams (and both probably looking through rose coloured glasses):). Your summation is close to...

    Sydney Colts - 2015

    So the season is over for players and parents of every club except Randwick and Uni, and there have been a few posts of late sounding a little green with envy (and logic). Randwick and Uni deserve to be in the Grand Final. They played the best rugby in the semi-finals across all 3 grades...

    Sydney U/18 Colts

    I heard on the grapevine that the U/18 Grand Final at Foreshaw on Saturday ended with a fight, yellow card, red card, reversal of a penalty (that saw SD kicking the ball out to win), and worst of all, a WH player man-handling the referee. So what is true , exaggerated, or false?? Sad way to end...

    Sydney Colts - 2015

    OK, so Uni are deducted 5 points for each of the 3 games. Unlucky, but rules are rules. Question is - whey aren't the 3 results nullified and each team (Warringah, Gordon and Southern Districts) credited with a 28-0 victory (i.e. 5 points to them) ?? Uni are penalised, but why aren't the...

    Sydney Colts - 2015

    The U/18 was a fantastic initiative, and was well supported by a number of clubs that should be congratulated - Southern Districts, West Harbour, Parramatta, and Gordon. There were other clubs that participated but for reasons unknown they withdrew at different times during the season (Sydney...

    The SBHS "manager" ran on to the field and was there for 10-15 seconds before the Pius coach "crossed the line". He was definitely on the field as well but NOT confrontational or out of line. He appeared to be speaking to his players and calming things down, but really should have let that to...

    ISA Rugby 2014

    Regards the Pius v Shore game. Solid hit out for both teams. Interesting that Pius played the starting 15 the entire game except for a late injury change, and Shore had 6 reserves and made 12-15 substitutions. Agree that Pius #1 was solid. Thought that the #9 played well also - gritty little...
