Thread for Colts started for a new member. You may fire when ready.

Not sure whether this fits under an existing thread, so took an executive decision to create one :) A group of schools out this way are engaging in a bit of competition to give the lads something outside the normal channels. The competition is for "Youth" (U14) and "Intermediate" (U16) with the...

"Other Than Australia" you hopeless shower of bastards - to @Dismal Pillock 's point, pretty poor form not having a word on here about some good clashes. France v Uruguay this morning not quite the cakewalk many would have expected at 27-12 to Les Frogs. France were shit. Lucky not to get a...

I don't usually dip my toe into these turbulent waters, as I have never been part of the rugby schools system, though I know people who are and they strive to do great things. Sometimes they get frustrated, and in listening to their frustrations, I share them. To help with my understanding, I'm...

The New Year is here, and this is the thread for all things NSWSRU in 2023. Unleash the dogs of war... or at least, unfettered imagination when it comes to rumours!

I get that this is a forum that is going to attract a range of views, and people from all walks of life. Sport does that. At the same time, I've noticed as a group, we tend to lean toward negativity and point at what is wrong with the game - and I include myself in that :) The question is...

Given the amount of rumours flying around on the old thread, I thought I'd start a new one :) And, let's face it, a lot of clubs are probably going to start planning early in order to get the players back for what might be yet another disrupted season :( So here's my first dig at Divisional...

What are we thinking? ABs by a stack or will the Boks finally click and execute their bosh game plan? TBH if our guys were making the green shirts puff, I can't see any result but the ABs forcing them into oxygen tank use - particularly in the tropics.

The return fixture. What happens here? Who gets picked or dropped? Will anything significant change due to the near-parity of the contest? Referee: Matthew Carley (RFU) Assistant Referee 1: Luke Pearce (RFU) Assistant Referee 2: Graham Cooper (RA) TMO: Brett Cronan (RA) Personally think the...

New year on the way! Hopefully less shit going on than the last one. So are we going to see movement in the Divisions? Thinking Newport will go up to Div 2 and Redfield will go back down to Div 3. Hunters Hill to Div 1 and Knox dropping? Remains to be seen whether that gives Knox any...

Well its nearly November so let's kick off another thread. Discussion at Presentation Night was around competition structure. And it needs to be as all Divisions had their own Black Sheep. Similar to 2018, there was one round where 10% of scheduled matches were forfeits and that isn't good for...

Concord Oval, 3PM Saturday 24th September. Fuck! We're nearly through September! Tempus fugit. Anyway, I'm most likely going to be there to see the Rams hopefully get their first win of the season. I'd encourage everyone to get along, because we need a better crowd than what we had last...

https://www.change.org/p/nsw-waratahs-allow-waratahjesus-to-run-the-ball-out-at-the-start-of-play-of-a-waratahs-match This is simply a must. If you haven't seen it on the tweeterverse of facespace, get onto it and let's get waratahjesus his shot at the big time. If you don't do it, you're...

Well, in a surprise to fucking nobody, I'm picking the Rising to come first. Finals from here look like: Rising v Vikings Brisbane v Eagles Reckon the Eagles, if they get their full lineup on the park, might just have the game to upset Brisvegas, and head to Melbourne for their runners-up...

This will be the first (and last) Friday night game of the comp, played in a league heartland with no other sport on to speak of. This week could actually be a big one for NRC, with no game scheduled for Sunday either in what is a smart move. The Rams have two games left and will have to...

Pfitzy says: fuck no! http://www.foxsports.com.au/rugby/wallabies/rugby-officials-must-look-at-introducing-golden-point-rule-for-tests-iain-payten-writes/story-e6frf55l-1227027284863 This isn't the fucking NRL. This isn't fucking basketball, fucking ice hockey, or fucking grid iron. Its...

Firstly, I'm pissed off because of my planned trip away perhaps not getting back into town in time for the game. Working on it - outcome TBA. The weather forecast for this week has Sunny right through until Saturday, where showers may emerge and then Sunday will be windy with 70% chance of...

Cue the pissing and moaning from Eastern Suburbs fairies who don't want to travel all the way out to Homebush despite public transport practically to the door. Go ahead, I'll wait... Aaaaaaaanyway, boring shit first: weather forecast for this week is pretty much clear, perhaps a bit of...

Lots of changes due for France as their T14 finalists come back into the side. It will be a much different unit that faces us, and they'll be a lot better. Obviously the big losses for us are Moore and Carter. Suspect this is a ready-made excuse to start Horwill and this week's training and...

Canes are looking dangerous, though against a Reds side suffering a bad case of Grahams Necrosis you can't take too many indicators. What we do know is they are up to their gooch in All Blacks, and from there up to their armpits in terms of other international talent. They've got momentum...
