Everyone has heard about the tactics of teams to bump up their schoolboys height and weight stats. It also seems that some professional teams have also been fond of this approach. Some notable examples: Will Genia listed at 182cm and weight of 85kgs. Others have listed him as 174cm and...

Having recently read an article about how AFL players are the scruffiest sportsmen on the planet and how Chris Latham was somewhat lambasted earlier in his career for his socks down approach, I have decided to write this article. I was wondering whilst in your playing days how you wore your...

Richie McCaw is looking to stay in NZ after the world cup and not head north to Europe. The attraction of a end-of-career payday in France or England has become a trend for All Blacks, Springboks and Wallabies and the rumour mill is already clogged with stories of big names on the move after...

Rugby has apparently fallen to Australia's ninth most popular sport. "A report by a brand analysis and research agency, Repucom says that when the 2007 Rugby world cup was taking place in France the sport had dropped from fourth to seventh. Since that world cup rugby has again dropped...

You know the drill 3-2-1 for best players 3 AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) 2 Schmoo 1 Pocock

Hi guys on Sunday ive got a Harlequins Rugby League Academy Trial and I was wondering if anyone had any advice on what things I should be doing. I can play halfback, five eighth and at a stretch hooker. I was just looking to see if you had any tips for me. I know its League but I thought...

The Aussie schoolboys website 15 man rugby has finally closed down, which is a great shame because the guy who owned it went to nearly every queensland GPS game and the national schoolboy champs. He was also an avid follower of the national schoolboy team. I would like to get in contact with...

Over the past ten years 4 of the wallabies most capped inside backs Stephen Larkham, Elton Flately, Matt Giteau and Berrick Barnes have all worn headgear. Total Rugby has unveiled a new story, that the wallabies used speakers within the headgear to communicate with the coaches. I'm not sure...

After much deliberation and many videos I have found evidence that Adam Ashley-Cooper can indeed pass, even though it was a pop i think it still counts. 0:27 seconds AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) passes to Peter Hynes for his first pass of 2009. http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=greenandgoldrugby#p/u/92/tjLP4zFTXyE...

Thought I would start the Motm nominations As per usual rate the best three players 3-2-1 3 Bam Bam 2 Portley Beale 1 JOC (James O'Connor)

Seeing as i wasn't interested in the fortunes of the australian and queensland schoolboy comps in 2007 i have searched all over the net for photos, match reports and videos of the 2007 season. Some of these links have been deleted such as the photos and match reports on 15manrugby and some...

Found a bleep test comp for the all blacks on their website. Video is between records 41-50 if you were interested. Bleep test revealed that Israel dagg and cory jane were the first backs to bow out (it looked like that anyway). Cruden, Conrad smith and Kahui were the final three. Then...

I was just looking back at some photos from 2006 and 2007 of Nudgee rugby. JOC (James O'Connor) is currently listed as 84 kgs on the WA site and i was wondering if anyone knew roughly what weight he was in his last year at nudgee before he joined WF. From the pictures he looks pretty lightweight so i would...

I just recently found photos of TSS's unbeaten 2007 GPS season, To'omua, JOC (James O'Connor), Stef Hunt and Aidan Toua are all on there. It's not surprising they were unbeaten with a backline consisting of: 10. Jono Lance 12. Ben Taupai 13. Nathan Stapleton 14. Luke Morahan 15. Simon Morahan...

1 They have to have played for the Australian Schoolboys. 2 They have to have been schoolboy stand-outs not just players that became good professionals. (i.e Kurtley Beale may not be a great pro 10 but he was a really good schools 10 rather than someone like Halangahu) 3 They have to play in...
