to see what its like to be the sole 19 year old Wallabies supporter in a Dunedin rugby pub as the wallabies won last week, here are a series of texts from my son (who wore his wallabies jumper)
"f....k"
"s....t"
'i love"
"australia"
"yes"
"I'm gonna get bashed
"Its very weird, everyone is...

I have no idea what you are talking about. My son is at a "minnow" school. I recently had a pleasant call with the guy running Randwick Colts asking what he and his team mates are doing with their rugby next year. I had no sense that Randwick are only looking for "stars". They are just...
Yup. you only had 180 kids in opens to fill in. To the credit of the Joey's boys, the Joey's captain was considerably more magnaminous than this carping post at the after match function.
Here's an idea. Why not try and see the trip to TAS as a wonderful experience for your boys, rather than bellyaching about how it hurt your precious results. The SGS boys thoroughly enjoyed the 16 hour bus ride, macca's pig outs, lack of sleep and friendliness of the TAS boys and staff.
Everybody has missed the most concerning issue arising out of the present broohaha; which is that Peter Fitszimons is now going to say something (anything) declaratory about it in capitals and with lots of exclamation marks.
Has it occurred to you that it may more appropriate to wish a 16 year old schoolboy (who, to my impression, is a humble young bloke ) all the best on what must be a very exciting moment in his rugby career? If it hasn't, mabye you should vent on the Andrew Bolt blog, or some such other...
I have a slightly different take on this. Watching the View firsts (i am not a View parent) against Kings on Saturday, it was delighful to see an 'organic" group realising the potential that they have had since primary school. I was pleased to hear credible reports that View are ensuring that...

Above was the most sensible proposal put on Schoolboy rugby. Like many sensible things, ignored. Had it been implemented;
- the weaker GPS Schools could be playing other firsts teams for the whole comp;
-the arms race...
St Gregory's 25-Grammar 19. A cold but enjoyable day at campbelltown on the Hill. Grammar missing about 5 players for aths/injuries, so not bad. Grammar came back from 25-7 , and were pressing hard for a win at the end. St Gregory's have some big and fast lads in the backs who could do some...
As we speak, the SGS boys in perth are abseiling and/or kayaking or some such things whilst on a Rugby tour. If only I had known that such brevity was impermissible in the world of the gladiatorial GPS athlete as described by you, I would never have permitted my son to engage in such...
That's funny, I must have misheard the SGS curriculum master at last night's presentation where they said SGS had 6 kids top the state in different subjects. And, by my reckoning, I think the forward pack in the SGS firsts last year got 30 band 6's. They must be broken hearted by your clever...
I dont see how looking for a constructive way forward is "blinking". If its brinkmanship that excites you, why dont you go and play a little war game on X-box rather than comment on school sport.
