This is a labour of love for which I have been running in the past. Normally I start the competition from the first trial game but others think from the 1st comp round. I always include the school rep games which is fun. Would you commit to a full season?

Thoughts? Yes/NO? All games? Comp games?
Let me know.

I vote Comp games and reps.

Still happy if trials are included - I believe it's only three rounds?

RUGBY LUNCH MC and Panel

We’re thrilled to welcome back the esteemed Australian Wallaroos and NSW Waratahs lock, Sera Naiqama, as our MC for the event. She is such a beam of light ! If anyone came to the lunch in 2022 I’m sure you would agree.

Sera will lead a captivating panel discussion featuring distinguished Old Newingtonians who have proudly represented Australia on the international rugby stage, including:

* Allan Ala'alatoa, the seasoned Tighthead Prop (ON2011), gearing up for his return to the Brumbies in Super Rugby Pacific after overcoming an Achilles injury.

*Angus Bell, the talented Loosehead Prop (ON2018) making a triumphant return to the Newington season launch following his stellar debut in 2023.

* Scott Bowen, the renowned Fly Half (ON1991) actively shaping Australian Rugby’s future as the National Performance Manager for the Australian 7’s teams.

 

[Rudderless]

The Luncheon will see our 2024 1st and 2nd XV squad presented with their playing jerseys. We also welcome back 80 Test Wallaby and Old Boy, Stirling Mortlock, who will chat with new Wallaby Coach, Joe Schmidt about leadership, standards and the future of Australian rugby

[Up and In]

any updates from Shore v Barker games?

It was a 16s tournament in Darwin. Shore beat Barker 45-10. Shore 1sts and 2nds are training in Lennox Head and play TSS today

 

[Backintheolddays]

Kings New Knox 3x40min thirds
2nds Kings over Knox 24-10 and New 14-0. Knox currently up 14-0 over New in final third.
Good first hit out. Several out of all squads. Kings scored several off rolling mauls, good set piece and potential in outside backs.
Kings quite young, think will be a development year for them in Opens
Firsts to come

Kings 1sts in real trouble come scrum time so far

 

[Backintheolddays]

Kings scrum getting destroyed by Knox. Knox 7-0. Don’t know many of the Kings team as yet, think a lot of year 11s

 

[Backintheolddays]

Knox backrower yellow for cynical penalty on try line. Kings maintain some pressure and good offloading leads to try 7-7.

 

[Backintheolddays]

Mid field turn over. Kings spread it wide. Crash over two phases later. Refs will be busy this year on the above sternum tackles. 12-7

 

[belowthesternum]

Does anybody know if View had a game Today?

Cheers

 

[Backintheolddays]

Kings maul one over off the back of sustained pressure on Knox line. Good defence by Knox and good patience by Kings. 19-7

 

[Backintheolddays]

Bit of end to end and long kicks. Kings intercept on halfway and score under the posts. 26-7.
Kings playing ok, Knox disappointing.

 

[Backintheolddays]

End of third 31-7
