    Australian Rugby / RA

    Suggestion - take the $1m or so being paid to IF and re invest in 20-25 up and coming players. Gives them a base income any 18-20 yr old would be happy with. Build a structure around their development (catch & pass would be a good place to start), from this we will start to build some depth in...

    ARU Junior Gold Cup - National Junior Championships

    Lets hope so, however I know of at least one player named who didn't even turn up for the trials, seems he has just had surgery and will be out for at least 4-6 months. According to the section criteria and email received, "We are pleased to inform you that you have received adequate rankings...

    CAS Rugby 2015

    Agree, the Stannies forwards were big, however Coghill spent the first half moonlighting as a 10. Second half he did get more involved in the play, but as a yr10 boy he was clearly out of his comfort zone at this level. To my earlier point, while are Barker trying to play some boys out of their...

    CAS Rugby 2015

    Not a good day for the the boys at Barker losing in the 16A's, 16B's, 2ndXV & 1stXV. !6B's - tried hard and didn't give up but fitness and discipline cost them the match. 16A's - led for most of the game 21 to 12, despite the best efforts of the forwards to give the game away then fell apart...

    CAS Rugby 2015

    Usual pre season training which has included general fitness, some skills etc. Nothing to the extent of Knox or Waverly from what I am reading or hearing locally. Last Saturday internal trails for all age groups with the opens playing a Head Masters XV against Radford College, ACT which ended...

    CAS Rugby 2015

    Firstly the school is Shawnigan Lake School, not Collingwood. Played Barker yesterday, won 29-22 in 1st's & lost in 2nd's. They have been touring around and played in Brisbane, Sydney and NZ. I believe they won on the central coast playing a combined team, not sure of the score. Nice group of...

    Sydney Subbies 2014

    OB, most will welcome the changes, a few won't. Agree to disagree with you on your comments in general. What point are you trying to make other than offering your own 'ideal' competition. Arguing that Iggies should be relegated because they are not having a great time right now lacks any logical...

    Continued decline in Sydney Junior Rugby

    IS Apparently all CAS schools have now signed up to a competition run by the AFL, Barker being the last to give in. I believe it will start with 2 teams in the 7/8yr group & 2 teams in the 9/10yr group. Training will be on school grounds and games played at the AFL centre at Macquarie Uni. I did...

    Continued decline in Sydney Junior Rugby

    To add even more complexity to this post, CAS schools will be introducing Aussie Rules to the sporting arena in 2014. This will compete with both rugby & that sissy game played with a round ball... just having some fun so don't get to upset with me. Seems the pie is getting even smaller, not...

    Australian Schoolboys & National Championships 2013

    Its seems Harry Jones was spotted at school yesterday, day 1 of the HSC on crutches. Perhaps this is the reason he is not touring. If so, then a disappointing way to end the season but these things happen. I for one really enjoyed watching him & Tyson Davies play this yr in the CAS championship...

    Australian Schoolboys & National Championships 2013

    Inside Shoulder, I am going to agree with you on 12 & 13. I don't think the combination worked all that well yesterday. Both players seemed to rely too much on their own physical size to break the line. When they did pass it was too late or poorly executed. Memories poor but I thought the...

    CAS Rugby 2013

    Not sure we saw the same game, the scrum was dominated by Barker in the second half, Aloys line out was very ordinary with Barker winning quite a few line outs against the throw. To say Barker won because a 'team loses a few players & are tired' is rubbish. Simply, Aloys did not have enough...

    sorry, Barker won - 30 something to 5.

    CAS Rugby 2012

    Barker v Knox - I'll keep it simple, great game and very enjoyable to watch with Barker dominating the break down and controlling the ball. From where I was standing Knox looked like they were playing a 2nd XV team. The boys tried hard but were unable to compete. Barker went to sleep in the last...

    The Role of Private Schools in Australian Rugby

    AFL has the private school network (CAS, GPS etc) very much in their sights. Here in Sydney the Junior AFL has been running a 6 week competition at the end of the school rugby season aimed at the private school network encouraging them to put teams together. Its run on a Friday night, using the...

    Well done boys

    So are we happy our boys did their best? JOC (James O'Connor), perhaps if you had bothered to get out of bed and attend the official launch we may have done better ( its called attitude). QC (Quade Cooper), so did you forget to read Robbie's play book on your Twitter & Facebook accounts? Maybe you should have consulted "the...

    Cooper - Good or Great rugby player - discuss.

    Firstly, congratulations to the AB's you played the better game. Just hope the French have one last game left in them. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! What the f#$% just happened? So I ask again, is QC (Quade Cooper) a good or great? No he is shit, sorry but can we please...

    Cooper - Good or Great rugby player - discuss.

    Again, I ask the simple question. Can we afford to have QC (Quade Cooper) running on next week? For all those Reds fans, yes he was good this yr but this is a world cup, not S15 & QC (Quade Cooper) has not delivered the goods so far so can we please stop pretending that he is going to pull a rabbit out of his arse any time...

    Poll: Cooper at 10?

    Firstly, congrats to the Argentina. Making the AB's work for their win. Secondly, the better team lost today in regards to the Wobbilies v SA, Nuff said. So from my earlier post regarding whether QC (Quade Cooper) is a good or great player.........well after tonight's display I am happy to say as far as I'm...
