From Under 15s Southern Inland 10 def. Victoria 7 Southern Inland 0 lost to ACT 29 From U16s Southern Inland 14-24 Gordon Southern Inland 26-12 West Harbour Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Soccer is probably the only football code that is local in my town. League has a smaller geographical area. Only the AFL competition has close to the same amount of travel. It is a big commitment but if a child enjoys their rugby, as a parent I will get them to the game. Sent from my iPad...

They should take a look at junior rugby in the regional areas - we have to round trips between 120km and 560km for the home and away competitions. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

U15s semi finals Gordon v Manly Easts v Central West Surprises of the tournament were the poor showing from Southern Districts who bowed out today after the play off for 9th and 10th. The other was the improvement of Southern Inland - playing off for 5th and 6th after finishing 15th last year...

The team entry numbers have dropped away over the years - with the current U15s age group there were 16 teams in 2013 (as U12s), same again in 2014, 15 in 2015 and now 12. ACT Brumbies don't sent a U15s because of JGC, it looks as if North Sydney and West Harbour have combined, no Illawarra...

I found the draw for the U15 age division. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

The final of the U15s match has been shifted from the UWA Sports Park to the home of the Cottesloe Rugby Club. Raining at the moment and expected to fall most of the day. A good day for ducks and props. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It is hard to accept that your little Johnny is not the best player in the world. I asked my boy how he would feel if he missed out or had little or no game time - he replied "I am part of the team and I will do what has to be done when it needs to be done" My jaw dropped with that, given that...

The boy dropped is a quality player but he lacks the self-drive and discipline that the other boys seem to have. It does not help that he is unwilling to put in the hard yards at training. As for going back to club rugby, it seems as if mum has not just burnt bridges at rep level but gave the...

Who would want to be a coach or manager - the ACT coaching team had to make the difficult call of leaving out three boys from the semi-final squad. From my observations, the choices were justifiable. While all three boys took it with grace, one of the boys mum's let fly with language so blue it...

I'll expand a bit on Ruckedknee's post. Brumbies had the early run of play having better field position and more possession. First try came down the right, after Brumbies capitalised on WNSW error. The lead was extended to 10-0 when the ACT hooker took advantage of some lazy defence. WNSW...

Can anyone shed some light as to why the Under 15s final will be played in Perth, given that both Western NSW and ACT finished higher on an aggregate table? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Southern Conference final between Western NSW and ACT in U15s will be played at CSU in Orange. The U17s match between Met West and ACT will be played at Concord Oval. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

The standard of refereeing in the matches I have seen in Pool B has been pretty good and fairly consistent over the five games. Foul play (late hits x 3, shoulder charges x 1 and high shots x 1) has been punished appropriately with a yellow card. The late hits seem prevalent as a means for the...

Not 100% sure but I have heard conflicting stories regarding the Pool A v Pool B semi-final. I was of the understanding that the team finishing higher on the 'combined' ladder would host the game. In the U15s, this would appear to be the ACT based on for and against. I then heard that because...
