This Saturday night during half time of the Australia vs New Zealand test match, the King’s Old Boys’ Rugby Club will be involved in the half time entertainment.

The concept is a little hard to explain, but essentially one of our players will be competing against Lane Cove Rugby Club, navigating a giant inflatable ball around an obstacle course – with a member of the crowd inside it (much like a hamster running around in a wheel). For those who attended the Australia vs France match a couple of weeks ago, you will know what I’m talking about!

This is a huge honour for our club and we are very proud to have been asked to participate. There will be close to 90,000 people at the game so this will provide huge exposure not only for our club, but also for the Old Boys’ Union. We have selected our Colts captain, Toby Buchannan (05), to represent us on Saturday night and we’re confident he’ll do a great job.

Click here for teams sheets. As mentioned last night at training.  Small changes as follows to the bus trip to and from Newport tomorrow.

9:30am – Sydney Uni (Ross St Gates)
9:45am – Kauri Hotel, Glebe
10am – Royal Oak Hotel, Double Bay
10:20am – Crows Nest Hotel (Falcon St)
11:15am – Arrive at Newport

6pm – Leave Newport
7:15pm – Arrive at Kauri Hotel

Yep, thats right!!  Its Bus Trip time again!!

With World Youth Day peaking this Saturday and the Harbour Bridge and surrounding roads closed for most of the day we will be organising a bus to get everyone to and from the games at Newport this weekend.

What I need from you is:

1. Do you want a lift on the bus to Newport?
2. Where do you want to be picked up from
   1. Double Bay
   2. Syd Uni
   3. Crows Nest
3. Do you want a lift on the bus back from Newport? FYI, without a good reason this is compulsory!!

It is important that everyone lets me know so that we can cater for the correct numbers and so we dont have a repeat performance of the Epping bus trip earlier this year.  Depending on numbers we will either book a mini bus (25 odd seats) or a big bus (50 odd seats).  Your response before training on thursday would be much appreciated so I can let the bus company know.

The rough timeframe (which will be confirmed on Thursday) is as follows:

9am – Royal Oak Hotel, Double Bay
9:15am – Syd Uni (Ross St Gates)
9:45am – Crows Nest Hotel (Falcon St)
10:30am – Arrive at Newport with plenty of time before 4th Grade.

For some of you the above times may seem a little early, however traffic is going to be an absolute nightmare with the Harbour Bridge closed and we will need to go from Syd Uni the long way via Gladesville Bridge and Hunters Hill, in order to get to Crows Nest and then head to Newport along Military Road or a back way, which is still to be finalised.

Then on the way back the plan is:

1. 5:45pm – Leave Newport after speeches and head to the Newport Arms Hotel to fill up (and possibly pick up a stranger or two).  Newport does have showers at the ground.
2. 6:30pm – Arouind this time a toilet stop is usually required
3. 7:15pm – The Harbour Bridge opens again at 5pm on Saturday arvo so the trip home should be alot quicker.

We are heading back to the Kauri this week to watch the Wallabies v Springboks (8pm kick off) as they are much more flexible than the Oak and we should have most of the pub to ourselves.  The guy from BLD (food place next door) is putting on some nibbles for when we arrive and as usual their full menu will be available until the end of the Wallabies.

Unfortunately, Colts this week are playing against Hills at Hills, however you are more than welcome to join us either on the bus for the return leg from Newport or to watch the Wallabies at the Kauri.

That time of year you have all been waiting for is again upon us when we all congregate for the much anticipated King’s Old Boys’ Rugby Club Boat Cruise.  It is with great pleasure that we again invite you to join us on Saturday 9 August (only 4 saturdays away) for what is sure to be another fantastic night on board the widely acclaimed “Lady Rose”.

Ladies, this is your chance to frock up and let your hair down and Gents, this is your chance to dust off the old tux from last year and join all of your mates for a night you are sure to remember for many years to come.

Be sure to spread the news wide and far, to all your mates, work mates, girlfriends, family members, and anyone else who will listen, as there are plenty of tickets that have to be sold.  The more tickets we sell the better the night will be for all involved!!

For bookings, please click here and follow the Love Boat Cruise (Book Now) button.  There will also be a facebook invite going around later this week so be sure to invite all of your friends once you receive it.

Look forward to catching up with you all on the 9th of August.

We are short in a couple of spots, so if you know someone who wants a run, please get in touch and bring them down.

All games are at King’s – usual times.

Now we’re only 6 weeks out from the finals and with all teams still looking good for the business end of the season, we are going to be running some Tuesday night sessions for anyone who is interested, starting tomorrow night and going through until the finals.  These will mainly work on our fitness with boxing, variations of touch and other games to make it enjoyable – I GUARANTEE NO SPRINTS!!!

We will be running these sessions on Tuesday nights from 7pm if anyone is interested.  We will aim to go no later than 8pm, keeping it short and sharp!!
