Dude, do you know your rugby? Conrad plays exclusively at Centre not Inside Centre, Ma'a plays at 2nd V/Inside Centre. Marshall is not a newbie either, he's been with the Canes for 2 years played close to 20 games with over 60 games at NPC level for Tasman and the Naki. A newbie would be Jack...

haha...would turn the lights out but then we need them to shine on all the trophies we have in our overflowing cabinets at Rugby House...lol... But I think its great we send you our excess rugby players to help increase your rugby IQ ...like Quade, Joe, George, Sekope, Mike, Tamati, Scott...

Blues have had probems at 9/10 since Divine and Spencer days in the early 2000's...they need a general to direct and lead

You guys should be world beaters if you train that much!

How many of these boys have come through the Aus School Rugby and how many through Aus Club rugby?

I'm always expecting banana skin games, as a Canes fan you need to cause of all the years of over promising and under delivering. Good luck trying to shut Rock down, all Aussie mid fields have tried and failed. This week won't be any different, but then again there is always hope for Inman...

Matt Proctor is no scrub, he's on the fringe of AB selection and is from the same same club and went to the same school as Jules, Ardie, Motu and Ma'a, not a bad backline with 4 ABs and and 3 AB starters...

And now our B team announcement for this week... http://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/rugby/super-rugby/67503288/james-marshall-starts-at-no-10-for-hurricanes-as-all-blacks-rested

Go the Canes! Is it more false hope for us Welly people this year?

Flakey? I think you might be thinking of the Rebels halfback and standoff pairing...

Good luck Rebels...it'll be a home game for some of the Wellington rebels anyway...

Lol...thanks Old School, will search for the right one but Junior Gold Cup is age group level at its finest and has school and club kids playing in it with supporters, coaches and administrators in and around it. There were already people talking about the issues I have discussed on here. I'm...

And it get's worse, not better... http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-03-17/wallabies-fall-to-lowest-ever-world-ranking-of-sixth/6324482

Gotta love the bar...and I am here. Change will take time but it will get there, the demographics of our game are such that the face of the game in Australia is beginning to change as we speak. As these demographics change then so too should the structures and resource allocation begin to change...

Sacrophilus I would agree with your argument if it lead Australia to success or even moderate success against international competition on the world stage or even small wins consistently against Tier 1 nations at Schoolboy level but your argument falls flat on its face there as its quite obvious...

Old School it's not a question of not enough schools, it s question of developing rugby for all children at an age group level and doing that within the resources of Australian Rugby and in competition to other sports that want the changing demographic of children to play their games as well...

I don't mind if people want to control things as long as their system is producing the goods like consistent wins at the age group level internationally, but when it doesn't and we have continued to lose for so long why would we continue down that path of losing? Most people would call that...

I agree with you Shane Smeltz. I'm new to this forum and don't want to assume anything but are the protected interests more important than Australia continually being beaten at age group level on the international stage let alone the development of Australian rugby at this critical age group?

Sorry about your traditional thinking but it's exactly opinions and justifications like that that keep Australian Rugby at age group level where it is today. Always second, sometime third and fourth behind NZ, England & Australia. Reactive and not innovative, always following and never...
