During that time there is much we all can be proud of and we have had a wonderful record of success. However, like all institutions we need a fresh injection of blood from time to time. New blood brings innovation, new ideas, new energy and a commitment to ensuring that our club’s success continues. My colleague and head of SURPASS, Angus Stuart, has indicated he is prepared to take on the role and I wholeheartedly endorse his candidature. Angus is a former player and has shown remarkable dedication in SUFC President David Mortimer AO speaks at 2015 Season Launch steering, with his former playing colleague SURPASS to an effective support to the Friends group that has the Shute Shield race in the semi-finals, we still won been so big a contributor over the years. four of the seven titles on offer in the Sydney premier Traditionally, my annual reports have always led off Grade competition, the overall Club Championship with how our club has performed in the Sydney for the 12th consecutive season and the Colts Club Grade competition, but this year I’d like to venture Championship for the 11th year in a row. from the Varsity to Twickenham.

  • Bennett Demands Improvement for a Must Win Australia Clash
    Sports FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 2016 Daly to make first starts for England BAGSHOT: Elliot Daly will make his first start for England, after five appearances off the bench, as he was named at outside centre for tomorrow’s clash with South Africa at Twickenham. The Wasps man received the nod ahead of regular 13 Jonathan Joseph, who has been battling a groin injury but is named among the replacements. Flanker Tom Wood, dis- missed by coach Eddie Jones a year ago as “distinctly average” and flying winger Jonny May, who suffered a serious knee injury in December, make their first appearances since the World Cup as Jones was forced into a raft of changes due to injuries. Joe Launchbury and Courtney Lawes will lock the scrum in the absence of Mario Itoje and George Kruis while Marland Yarde is back on the left wing. An uncapped trio of prop Kyle Sinckler, number eight Nathan Hughes and centre Ben Te’o were named among the replacements. “With a few influential players not available for selection this is a great opportunity for some of the new faces to put both feet forward,” Jones said. “I’m also pleased to see a number of returning players get their chance on Saturday, most notably Jonny May after his long injury rehabilitation and Joe Marler, whose attitude and application to training these last two weeks has been first- class.” Daly is the most eye-catching selection, not least because Joseph has performed so well as first choice in every one of Jones’ nine games - and nine wins.

  • Programa Vs. Waratahs Final
    bienvenidos Queremos darles a todos una cálida bienvenida a nuestra tercera temporada en el Personal Super Rugby. Para nosotros es un placer, un orgullo y una responsabilidad inmensas estar en condiciones de participar en este certamen, que tiene el mejor nivel de rugby que hoy se puede encontrar en todo el planeta. Este nuevo Super Rugby de 15 equipos nos brinda la posibilidad de ver a los jugadores más renombrados del Hemisferio Sur y del mundo jugar en fines de semana consecutivos, tanto aquí en Argentina como en Sudáfrica, Australia o Nueva Zelanda. Esto, que hoy se ha convertido en una sana costumbre que se vive hasta con cierta naturalidad, hace no muchos años atrás era algo impensado y hasta utópico no sólo para el jugador argentino, sino para el público. Hoy, con inmensa alegría, tenemos por tercera vez la posibilidad de disfrutar de este rugby que es además, el espectáculo deportivo de mayor envergadura, calidad y reconocimiento internacional que tiene nuestro país. Casi ya sobre la finalización del mandato de esta Presidencia y Consejo Directivo, estamos absolutamente agradecidos del unánime apoyo que hemos recibido siempre de parte de todo el rugby argentino en su conjunto, representado por las uniones provinciales y sus clubes, que son, en definitiva, para quienes todos nosotros (La dirigencia amateur y los profesionales de la UAR) trabajamos incansablemente todos los días del año (con errores y con aciertos) pero siempre en pos de mejorar la cantidad y calidad de los torneos, de los entrenadores y jugadores que conforman el rugby de base, que son los cimientos del rugby argentino.

    OBITUARY: Ross Vincent Turnbull st (Enrolled 1 Year NBHS in 1954 – later transferred to Knox Grammar added by Webmaster) By PETER FITZSIMONS March 15, 2015, 5 p.m. Ross Turnbull, the front-rower, goes up for the ball in a lineout during his Newcastle playing days. ROSS VINCENT TURNBULL, 1941-2015 WITH the death this month of Ross Turnbull – after a seven-year battle with cancer – Australian rugby has lost one of its most colourful, if oft controversial, characters. His love for the game and its people was not always reciprocated, but his impact and contribution were enormous, and he will be remembered. A big lump of a lad from Newcastle, he learnt his rugby at Knox Grammar School as a rampaging forward in the late 1950s, where he was notable for always having his sleeves rolled up – in the manner of a fellow who always had a job o’ work to do – and one other thing in particular. Somehow he learnt to burrow his way through opposition forwards and, against all odds, emerge on the other side with ball in hand to confront the stunned opposition halfback who never expected anyone could do that – as the home crowd roared. The impression left was of an exceptionally strong boy who was not one to take a backward step, and kept going, no matter what. The pattern for a life was formed. He made his representative debut for Newcastle against the All Blacks in 1962 at age 21, refining his craft as the forward anchor of three premiership teams with Newcastle club Wanderers in 1963, 1964 and 1965.
