I could learn to like this jersey, TBH. It is growing on me even if its got the same shitty collar in reverse.
Another great upstanding Wallaby as the face of Australian rugby.....

@NTA what's going on with the Rebels? Sounds like they are almost insolvent? I've missed this if so - and it's a real concern if that's the case.

Gibsons just quit as Tahds coach. I look forward to Mark Hammett taking up the reins next season .
Just quit a couple of weeks ago?

Heard Gordon Bray extolling the virtues of St Josephs in Sydney. Their a,b and c grade sides went through the whole season unbeaten.
This not good. Must be some shoddy other teams in these grades and one school having ALL the talent can't be a good thing.

This is not entirely true.
Sydney private school sports is very weird. There is no single competition across Sydney for schoolboy rugby.
The teams play in different competitions/school associations with roughly half a dozen schools in each - GPS, CAS, ISA etc.
So when Bray says St Joseph's went undefeated - it is only against the other 5 teams in their association (GPS) - now admittedly their 6 team competition/association (GPS) is the strongest but it's still not the full picture.
There are some inter-competition/association games between these competitions/associations at the start of the year before they divide into their separate competitions/associations - I know St Joseph's 1st XV lost to one of the CAS schools at the start of this year.
