This afternoon, I went to watch my grandson play under14 school rugby for Hale against ""Oldham"" from Singapore. I had a brief chat to one of the Oldham coaches and also to my grandson, and did a bit of a google on Oldham. I thought the coach said the side was was an ""outreach"" program by the Oldham old boys club, but my grandson was under the impression it was their school side.
Anyway, the Oldham forwards held their own against the Hale forwards, but the smaller Oldham backs eventually could not hold out the bigger Hale backs as the game wore on. The cold wet weather was a problem for the Oldham boys as well I think. Still a solid and very impressive effort by Oldham, considering that Hale U14 are unbeaten against the the other Perth private schools so far this year.
My grandson said after the game, he chatted to one of the boys, who told him they play rugby all year round and train for 3 hours a day.
The whole side and all the coaches were Asians, so rugby is alive and looks like it is growing in Singapore. The coach was enthusiastic about GRR and had been to the games in Singapore.
Twiggy and GRR are on the right rugby track for the future in Asia.
I think Oldham are playing the Southern Lions U14 club side in Perth on Thursday.
Can anybody tell us more about this Oldham side?

Old fart question. I have Fox because I watch a lot of different sports. Often I record on IQ and watch when convenient - use the series linking feature heaps. Is Kayo recordable without needing to be an IT speciallist.
Pls excuse being in the wrong thread. Away from home atm.

Looks like Ill stay with Fox unless they make it unaffordable in that case.

Fox are in debt and most likely offloading some of these sports or increasing prices. You will have to make a call sooner rather than later I reckon.
Generally speaking you aren’t learning much if your lips are moving!!!
Yep. Reducing content and raising prices is pretty stupid way to encourage new customers and an even poorer way to keep long standing ones. If its their only option they are on the slippery slope.

Kayo is not recordable - but you can watch a sporting event - or panel show whenever you want. Including re-watching it or watching it live

It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now if you know what you’re worth then go out and get what you’re worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain’t you!

Thanks again. I might do like BnB - give it a trial run.
