    Tbh I have only one gripe with the Shute shield and that is the arrogance of some of its ilk. The competition is drawing crowds and there seems to be some good rugby played (by reports) but some of its adherents simply refuse to understand that it, as a state /metro league should be feeding into the national comp (nrc) not the wallabies.

    I would be willing to bet that there will be a bigger crowd at the Shute Shield Grand Final this weekend at North Sydney than the Tahs will have had all year.

    Maybe a match between a purely Shute Shield XV and the All Blacks should be arranged as a reality check.

    I'm sure they'll twist the 200 point loss into a positive somehow.

    Is that not far from what we'll see on Saturday

    (I say we, but I probably won't bother)

    Should be good though, Warringah and Norths, one of the traditional northern derbies. I suppose it's an indicator of the malaise in Aussie rugby really. People are fed up, they just want to watch a competitive game with a meaningful rivalry, have a beer and a pie, enjoying a day out. Probably why I look forward to the Perth Spirit games so much.

    Tell you what, if they decided to play it at a bigger ground than North Sydney Oval and they still filled it, would certainly be a statement to the NSWRU and ARU.

    Anyway, I know I'm off-topic

    They're talking the olympics up pretty strongly, they're not targeting 7s are they?

    China want to hold a Rugby World Cup,, Big Billy Beaumont said they can bid for the 2023 cup. The conditions are they have to have growth in grassroots rugby and form a home grown comp,or join an existing one,, That's where we need to focus Asia.. Forget about The ARU. Get Gosper on our side he is big name in the sporting arena and bet he is embarrassed about this saga with SANZAR..

    I think I was right, they claim close to 20,000, looked like a great day, well done ex Forceman Lukey Holmes and the Rats
