Much sadness over the death in Yamba last Sunday of Trish Douglas, mother of Waratahs & Wallaby player Kane Douglas and his brothers Jake and Luke. She suffered a stroke on the plane to London last year to see Kane play in a Test match. There will be a minutes silence before Kane and Jake’s club Southern Districts, whose players will wear black armbands, play Sydney university at Forshaw Park today.

When he was playing 69 Tests, more than any other Wallaby prop, and winning 130 caps for the Waratahs, Saturdays were a comparative breeze for Al Baxter. Now the day starts at 8.30 with Al and wife Jen ferrying sons Finn, 8, and Ed, 6, to play for the Clovelly Eagles, with Al an assistant coach of both teams. Their other son Henry, 3, can’t wait to pull on the boots. Then Al, proving a natural for TV, is off to join the ABC commentary team and wait, there’s more. If the Waratahs are playing at home, he then heads to the game as part of his duties as a Board member of Waratahs Rugby.

They say that inside every fat man is a thin man fighting to get out. Remember Adrian Skeggs, the giant Wallaby prop who played for Warringah, NSW and Queensland? When he ballooned to 160 kg, the Moose, harking to how his mum had died prematurely from similar problems, underwent major stomach surgery to shed 50kg. Now he looks fit enough to play. After stints playing or coaching in Natal, the uK, Cuba, the West Indies and Namibia, he is back in Sydney doing marketing work for the Tall Ships.

A rare happening in Manly v Warringah fourth grade last Saturday when brothers Alex and Robbie Pickering were the respective No 8s. One of Alex’s Warringah team-mates was prop Omiros Fanariotis, who played 14 times for the Greek national team.

With Wallaby Mark Hartill as President and an enthusiastic new General Manager Gerard Boyle working hard behind the scenes, new life has been breathed into the venerable Rugby Club in the city. A new chef who is a finalist in the coming Chefs Table

awards now runs the kitchen and a series of lively functions is coming up, the first on June 5 with Tom Lawton and John O’Shea topping the bill and Peter Fenton as MC. You can’t get better than that. Tickets from the website www.rugbyclub.com.au.

Such is the pulling power of speakers Peter FitzSimons and Bill Pulver that in a time of rugby lunches galore, Eastwood’s big do at the Boulevard Hotel on Friday week is a sell-out! We presume Fitzy, who once played with the Woodies, will be wearing a blue and white bandana.

Spotted at the Steyne hotel mingling with Manly Marlins players was dual international Lote Tuqiri. But no, he isn’t poised to quit the Wests Tigers and return to rugby. Lote was there to celebrate the 50th birthday of his old Waratah coach Brian Melrose.

As an hilarious aperitif for the third Test against the British Lions at Homebush the next day, might we recommend a Night of Rugby Comedy with England’s Gareth Chilcott, Scot Ian Robertson, Welshman Scott Quinnell and our own Peter FitzSimons swapping gags and insults. It will be held at the City Recital Hall in Angel Place on Friday, July 5. I can assure you they are four of the funniest men in world rugby. Contact www.cityrecitalhall.com for tickets at $95 a pop.

Congratulations to Jimmy Hilgendorf and wife Kate on the arrival of their first child, a son Jack, which may mean that the Eastwood flyhalf’s travelling days are over. Apart from the Waratahs, Western Force and Melbourne Rebels, his CV includes club footy in Italy and Japan.

Remember David Croft, the red-haired winger who kicked a bucket of goals for Sydney university? His son Richard made his debut for the Students in fifth grade last Saturday, and swept in for a hat trick of tries. Among his team-mates were Scott Stumbles, David Dillon, Jack Farrer and Julian James, whose dad Brian was a notable in league with South Sydney.

Trust Norths to have funny man Vince Sorrenti and British Lions coach Warren Gatland topping the bill at their Bon Andrews lunch at Dockside, Cockle Bay on Friday, June 14. For tickets, call 9906 6400.

After several years of being in and out of the Southern Districts team, Jono Hayes was rocked when coach Cam Blades took him aside at the start of the season. “Jono, this is your big opportunity,” he said. “You’re going to be the captain.”

The personable young flanker who idolises Wallaby hero George Smith couldn’t believe his ears but with last year’s grand final captain John Ulugia going to Easts, the spot had to be filled. It was an inspired choice. With Hayes the heart and soul of proceedings, exuberant Souths have won every game and are sharing the competition lead.

Explaining his choice, Blades says: “I like my captains to operate in the ruck area and Jono is very good there. He works really hard. He’s not a hot head and communicates well with referees.”

“I like to take the lead and keep on top of things,” says Hayes, who trialled with the Brumbies in 2009. He took another big chance when Sean Doyle went to Ireland midway through last season. Jono was given the No 7 jumper, adopted a more professional approach and played in the grand final.

Not surprisingly for an open-side flanker, his favourite player is George Smith, who has more than 100 Test caps in his portfolio. “I never miss a chance of watching him play,” says the 24 year old carpenter. “His impact over the ball. He never chases it like a headless chook.”

Born in sun-toasted Cronulla, Jono says: “I grew up living on the beach, riding my surfboard and swimming.” He went to Woolooware High, where he played as centre, won some medals at Wanda Surf Club and did his apprenticeship as a carpenter at what he describes as the mansions of Vaucluse and Mosman. Want a carpenter? Call Hayes Carpentry.

Souths are ambitious to go one better after their gallant grand final loss of last year. “We’re a young team and already we’re better than last year,” said Jono, whose last word was to ensure girl-friend Chloe got a mention.

Wow! We’ve all been taken aback by Israel Folau these past few weeks and know that he’s going to make a serious impact on the British & Irish Lions during their visit.This fellow has just about everything you could ever want.He’s quick off the mark, an elusive runner, can spot an opening in the blink of an eye, is much taller and more superior in those high leaps for the ball than almost all others and when he spots that line there’s just no stopping him.In a very short time indeed, Folau has become the next biggest name in Australian rugby and aren’t we fortunate to have him playing fullback for the HSBC Waratahs.We’re improving weekly under the open-plan style instituted by coach Michael Cheika – and we might now even sneak into the finals – but the huge influence Folau has had on the team as a whole cannot be underestimated.Before his emergence, I was of the view that Jesse Mogg from the Brumbies should be the Wallabies’ fullback; now I’ve changed my opinion and feel Folau should be our man when the first muster of 25 players for the Wallabies’ camp is announced tomorrow.Besides his ability to run/jump/pass, what Folau has demonstrated is his wonderful versatility, having moved successfully at the elite level through three codes of football and very few can boast of having done that.His name was favourably tossed around at a luncheon this writer attended last week with Honorary Life Members of the NSW Rugby union. Over a red wine or two, his name was spoken of as being one of the best we’ve seen for ages.It was left to sound mixer, documentary film-maker, raconteur, poet and author Peter (Fab) Fenton, who squeezed in coaching the Sydney representative team and is an ardent historian, who alerted us to another rugby person who had even more beguiling skills and versatility in

different sports.Not just sports where a football is kicked around, but in entirely different sports! He was referring, of course, to Harold Hardwick. You simply won’t believe his tale.Raised in Balmain, Hardwick went to Fort Street High (had to mention that, being an Old Boy myself) where his freestyle swimming skills quickly began to emerge. He won heaps of State and Australian titles and in 1912 represented Australasia at the Stockholm Olympics (Australia and New zealand sent a combined team).Hardwick was eliminated in the 100m semi-finals, but won bronze medals in both the 400m and 1500m freestyles. Finally, he won gold in the 4 x 200m freestyle relay with Cecil Healy, Leslie Boardman and Malcolm Champion, splitting 2m 31.2s for the fastest leg of the quartet.On re turn ing home, Hardwick s topped swimming at the top level, but helped win a few State championships with Manly Surf Club.He also played rugby and made Eastern Suburbs ’ f i rs t-grade l ineup, w inn ing a premiership with them in 1913. In 1910, he had been selected to play for NSW against a visiting American universities team.But Hardwick’s sporting endeavours hadn’t finished. In 1914 he won the NSW amateur heavyweight boxing championship, the following year turned professional and promptly claimed the national championship. In his final bout in 1916 he was knocked out by Les Darcy, after earlier breaking two of Darcy’s front teeth!But Hardwick continued to give much of himself to Australia. He served in World War 1 in the Middle East and during World War 2 as a lieutenant-colonel he commanded the 1st Cavalry Division Signals from 1940-42, rising to the rank of colonel.He died of a coronary occlusion in 1959 aged 70.So when thinking of sporting versatility, Hardwick takes a lot of beating…. playing just league, AFL and rugby’s pretty darned easy compared with what Hardwick did.

Everyone’s talking about Folau, but who was Harold Hardwick?

Cam Blades, newly appointed coach of the Combined NSW-Qld Country team to play the British and Irish Lions in Newcastle on June 11, hopes to celebrate by plotting a victory over premiers Sydney university for his unbeaten Southern Districts team. It would be some measure of revenge for last year’s 15-14 grand final loss after the Rebels had led 14-3. The ABC TV cameras will be at Forshaw Rugby Park to record the action.

The old Wallaby prop, who once played for Australia A and NSW against the 2001 Lions in the space of four days, deserves to be taking a further step up the coaching ladder because Souths play a most attractive as well as effective brand of rugby that is bristling with energy.

With a third of Shute Shield matches completed, Souths and Eastwood share the lead as a result of the Woodies picking up six bonus points as a counter to Souths winning their first round clash 18-16. They are six points ahead of Manly, who walloped Warringah 42-24, with Northern Suburbs, who are coming off losses to Southern Districts and Sydney university, one point further back and university two more behind.

university, bereft of so many Super Rugby players, turned from a sleeping giant into a tiger in walloping Norths in a Friday night game at university Oval last week, prompting Norths coach Scott Fava to declare, “We were overpowered mentally. They came out with an intensity and fire which lasted the whole game.”

SOUTHERN DISTRICTS v SYDNEY UNIvERSITYAt Forshaw Park

Sydney university have plucked halfback Jake Gordon from Colts to play in this grand final replay against Southern Districts. unlike many of the club’s young players, he doesn’t have Australian Schools on his CV. Jake is simply a Sydney university junior who lives round the corner in Newtown. He gets his chance following an injury to Jock Merriman.

But forget the rookies. The hard core of Tim Davidson, Tom Carter and last year’s grand final

hero David Hickey are the ones who get this Sydney university team ticking. This was blatantly obvious when the Students played quite superbly to demolish Northern Suburbs 41-13 last week.

Souths are an entertaining outfit. Watch for their No 8 Lopeti Timani to exhibit the spectacular skills that have prompted the Melbourne Rebels to sign him to a contract for next season. Another important figure for the Rebels is flyhalf Rohan Saifoloi, who tops the Shute Shield point-scorers with 67.

EASTERN SUBURBS v PARRAMATTAAt Woollahra

Parramatta’s No.4 Pena Dakuiniviti is one of several new faces in the Two Blues side

Pena Dakuiniviti are new faces in the pack. Dan Yakopo’s younger brother Sam gets the No 10 jumper. Another negative for the Two Blues is that Andrew Cox and Tom Woods won’t return for another week. Easts are back in tenth spot after being pipped 23-22 by Wests as a result of blowing two tries with the line wide open, one of these blunders resulting in Wests scoring a length of the field try. New faces today are Clay Brodie at prop and Damon Anderson in the centre. Parramatta are without their big guns, but Easts will have to lift.

Tip: Parramatta

WARRINGAH v WEST HARBOURAt Pittwater rugby Park

Coach Matt Briggs thinks his Western Suburbs youngsters, who jumped to a share of sixth spot with Warringah, could strengthen their grip on a play-off spot if they can topple Warringah and follow up with a bonus point victory over winless Penrith.

Wests are coming off a 23-22 disposal of Easts despite a nightmare first half in which they had two players yellow carded while hit with a 10-1 penalty count. Strong contributors for Wests were flanker Cohen Masson, skipper Tom Games, second-

rower Alfred Pinomi and flyhalf Jack Debreczeni.

Warringah are a battered bunch following a 42-24 loss to Manly in a pulsating local derby and coach Haig Sare wants his players to forget about the physicality of last week, relax and play some running rugby. Injuries have wrought changes. Vinny Wright comes into the second row, Jake Butcher replaces in-form Boyd Killingworth at No 8 and a new centre pairing is Ed Doyle and Tevita Talisonua.

Tip: West Harbour

NORTHERN SUBURBS v RANDWICKAt North Sydney Oval

No panic at Norths. As a follow-up to losses to heavyweights Souths and Sydney university, the only team change is Hugh Sinclair at No 8 for Pat Sio, who has been picked in the Australian under 20s. Today they are at home to Randwick, who swept to an 80-7 victory against Penrith at Nepean Rugby Park. Norths coach Scott Fava is wary.

“It’s the first time Penrith have been flogged like that,” he said. “Souths and Sydney uni could manage only in the low thirties against them.” Coach Wade Kelly obviously is doing some good things with his young Randwick team.

Tip: Norths

Winger Rennie Lautolo was one of Randwick’s try scorers in last weeks game against Penrith

The Woodies might be poised for their seventh bonus point in as many matches, but coach John Manenti says: “Gordon played very well against us in a trial. We’re not under-estimating them.”

Sti l l , the Woodies closed with a flurry of tries to sink Parramatta 47-18 and grab a share of the lead with Southern Districts.

Old favourite Gareth Palamo comes off the bench to replace Locky McCaffery at flanker and with Jared Barry being rested, Sione Tau gets a game at No 8 and Shanin Proctor is the new halfback.

PENRITH v MANLYAt Nepean rugby Park

Good news for Manly is that skipper Tim Fairbrother has turned down offers from two New zealand Super Rugby franchises to complete the season with the Marlins. He is going to be a key figure when the big matches come round in August and September.

In spite of Penrith not winning a game to date, Manly are treating the Emus with respect, especially as they are playing at home.

“Anyone who thinks he can coast could f ind himself coasting at 1.30pm in reserve grade next week,” said coach Phil Blake.

2013 PREMIER RUGBY COMPETITIONS

RugbyNEWS WEBSITEwww.rugbynews.net.au

by Scott Killingworth

The Colts first grade competition features two particularly exciting matchups this weekend. Top of the table Randwick are set to face Norths at Coogee Oval while Gordon host Eastwood at Chatswood Oval.Randwick have started the season with six straight wins and will always be tough to beat at home, but Norths have had just two losses this season and will be hungry after narrowly losing to Sydney university last week.Both sides have large backrows that like to run the football and will be looking to them to create momentum for their backlines. This match could well come down to the flyhalves, with Norths Josh Kay and Wicks Andrew Norton both being responsible for many of the points out wide this season for their respective sides.Also set to electrify spectators is Gordon versus Eastwood at Chatswood Oval. Gordon experienced a slow start to the season before compiling wins in four of their last five matches which included a gutsy two point win over Southern Districts at Chatswood last round.Like Gordon, Eastwood also experienced a slow start to the season, with multiple injuries not helping a difficult schedule that kept them winless after three rounds. This hoodoo was broken and Eastwood picked up the upset of the season so far when they beat Manly, the joint competition leaders at the time, by one point in round 4.Eastwood lost by just one point last week to the in form Parramatta Two Blues and will be eager to join the winner’s circle once again. Spectators can see this promising matchup today at Chatswood Oval at 3pm.EASTWOOD 12 V PArrAMATTA 13Parramatta started the match with the intention of ruffling the feathers of their opponents. Early big hits and attempted counter rucking led to gains in possession for the Two Blues and much needed early territory.Interestingly, the majority of the Parramatta points came from the boot of tighthead prop James

Benton, who was 3/3 for the day before going off injured. Eastwood number 8 Matteo Pettenon helped restrict the Parramatta efforts to just one try thanks to his encouraging defence and the game was still anybody’s to win at half-time with the score at 13-0 to the Two Blues.Eastwood scored two tries after the break but tiny errors and clumsy hands plagued the previously in-form Woodies, who were unable to gain the continuity needed to get a lead-changing third try.Eastwood showed promise in the forwards throughout the match, particularly through the second row with locks Matt Matson and Adam De Santis exceptional with their work rates throughout the match. The Woodies will look to these positives to take forward to their matchup against the Highlanders this week.Meanwhile Parramatta took the points in an arm wrestle and will be looking to make it four straight wins this week against an Eastern Suburbs side coming off back to back losses.SyDNEy UNI 34 V NOrTHS 22Last year’s Colts Grand Finalists played a rematch under lights at Sydney university on Friday night, a curtain raiser to the First Grade match. There seems to be a wealth of quality flankers coming through the colts system this year for many teams, with university no exception.The students openside flanker Max Northcote-Green hustled hard all match, particularly the first half with several dominant tackles and an assortment of pilfers that went on to reward him with Man of the Match honours.Loosehead Prop Ben Lawley wasn’t much different, boasting a tremendous workrate for a front rower with his barraging runs and a skilful move to hooker late in the match showing his versatility.Some dropped chances for the Students kept Norths in the match for the duration of the game, with a late try to the Shoremen showing they are not a side who gives up easily.Best in the Student’s backline was Dylan Vieira, whose unorthodox touches of the football and deceiving footwork created many scoring opportunities for his side.

MANLy 52 V WArrINGAH 10Manly took a comfortable win at home in a local derby First Grade curtain raiser, against fierce rivals Warringah. Confrontation up front was the key for both sides early on, with Warringah’s Costan Toumazos and Manly’s Ethan uili the leaders for their respective sides up front.After an early attempt narrowly missed from halfway, Wilkinsonesque Marlins Flyhalf Reece Hodge kicked the first points of the game with another slightly closer kick at goal not long after.Penalties played a major role in this game, with eight consecutive penalties to the Marlins hurting the Rats tremendously. The scurry of converted

first-half Manly tries began when Warringah were a man down and continued for the duration of the match. Rats Fullback Mike Edwards was a standout in a beaten side but kudos must go to the nifty ball distribution of the Marlins inside backs.

With memories of last week’s game between Manly and Warringah still fresh it is interesting to recall the past clashes of these Northern Beaches rivals. These team lists from the August 30, 1980 issue of Rugby News show the Rats and Marlins

teams that met that day. Two great teams with many famous names. This copy of the team lists was forwarded by Anthony Bergelin, son of the late Bernie Bergelin who was the Manly Captain and prop on that day 33 years ago.

Jimmy Hilgendorf might have missed winning a Wallaby jumper but he says it wouldn’t have compared with the moment of holding his new born son Jack for the first time twelve days ago. “I was in the theatre, “recalls Eastwood’s skilful flyhalf. “At first I just froze. I was speechless. It’s pretty full on changing nappies but I love being a dad.” Both Jack and wife Kate are doing well, too.

And unless he has a change of heart, Hilgendorf’s life could well take another change. “I’ll probably finish at the end of the season,” he says, “but I’d love to coach.” At the moment he is getting a taste of this phase of the game by helping Greg Mumm and Stephen James coaching the Ist XV at The King’s School, where he is a PE teacher.

While a pupil at King’s, he won Australian Schools honours in 2000 as an aperitif to playing for the Waratahs, Western Force and Melbourne Rebels, with stints in New Zealand, Japan and Italy thrown in. In fact, his time with Kintetsu Liners and Kobe Steelers has led to some player-manager work with IMG on matters Japanese. “Footy’s been my life,” he says. Indeed, he was fated to play for Eastwood as he lived opposite Millner Field for the first year of his life.

Hilgendorf is multi-skilled, able to fill the fullback and centre roles as well as No 10. Eastwood coach John Manenti says: “Jimmy is a really good organiser and communicator. He has good vision and takes the ball to the line in a way that puts the defence in two minds. He sets up blokes everywhere.” With his love of attack, it isn’t surprising that Hilgendorf’s favourite players are Rob Egerton, Christian Cullen and David Campese. Has Jimmy patterned his play on anyone? “Only Dan Carter,” he says. “He knows exactly when to turn it on.”

Of course, his No 1 supporter is wife Kate. “I’ve known her since we were young,” says Jimmy.

WILSO’S WHISPERSby Bob Wilson

It was back to the good old days when many former Norths players got together for lunch last week at Lee's Fortuna Court at Crows Nest. Former Wallaby and North’s captain, Reg Smith played host while Graeme St John was in charge of the agenda and discussion topics. Big Garrick Fay, Peter Medway, Allen Anderson, Geoff Pritchard, Roger Cornforth, Bruce Carroll and Chris Shadforth were there while Peter Carson sent his apologies because he actually remembered his wife’s birthday and had to do the right thing. Sinjo arranged a ballot to vote on four Wallabies to be admitted to the Hall of Fame however, that was still being discussed when final drinks were called.Shaddy sparked some news that the 1973 Reserve Grade side will be having a 40th Reunion this year. That team included future Wallabies Peter Carson and Andy Stewart and a very young Peter Medway who went on to play for NSW. The team, which was captained by a very old and experienced Russ Tulloch beat a very determined St George side to take the Premiership.

Still on North’s, rumour has it that back in the 70’s a few of the players who loved a good time (there wasn’t many North’s blokes back then that didn’t) were having a few refreshments in the great old Gordon Rugby Club after a Saturday’s rugby. The Club which was a fantastic little club had a large fish tank and a grand old Highland stag’s head hanging on the wall. Well they say that one of the players decided to give the fish some rum and coke but unfortunately the fish weren’t too keen on that type of fluid which was confirmed when most of them started to float to the top of the tank.

Also, a Norths player was caught climbing up to the stag’s head as he was trying to turn the horns upside down. I can’t mention any names but a clue is that on New Year’s Eve people are usually lighting them up and shooting them into the sky. The Gordon blokes were not to be beaten and also played a few pranks on their local counterparts at the old Norths Club after their next away game at North Sydney Oval.

Last Saturday down at Southern Districts saw the Annual “Back to St George Day”, a traditional day that is always played against Saints old foes, Gordon Rugby Club, where they challenge for the Eddie Stapleton/Trevor Allen Trophy. Souths 1st grade side played in the old St George Red & White jerseys with many of the former St.George greats in attendance, especially two members of the Stapleton family and 1957 Grand Final winning halfback Ken Sadler who was there with his wife.

Other Saints notables were Geoff Considine who handed out the 1st Grade jerseys and Dene “The Whale” Glasson. Since the Rebels have played in the old St.George jerseys the boys are yet to taste defeat, something the old Saints boys are very proud of. Many a great yarn was told and the old friendships remain strong in the great Rugby fraternity.

It never stops down in the Shire with the Grand Final replay against Sydney university being played there today and with no other media coverage like it. Not only is it the ABC “Match of the Day” but Paul “Fatty” Vautin and John Gibbs will broadcast live on 2uE from Forshaw Rugby Park. The lads will do their show as normal but with a great rugby feel. One of South’s major sponsors, Sylvania BMW is behind the initiative and the club is grateful to Anthony Rodriquez for making today possible.

The Jindabyne Bush Pigs Rugby Club celebrate their 30th Anniversary this weekend with a full program of entertainment which will also include Miss Piggies and a Golden Oldies fixture. The Bush Pigs field Junior teams from the under 10s through to the under 16’s as well as Junior Girls, Senior Women’s teams through to the 1st Grade side.

Since their inception they have won a dozen Premierships with their latest success being the winners of the Green & White Country Ball Trophy at the Kiama 7’s. Former East’s Coach, Peter Abbott led the club to a couple of Premierships while another former Beastie, Ross Field was a co-founder and the inaugural 1st Grade captain. Owen Finnegan will be the Special Guest today in what should be a huge weekend in the Snowy Mountains.
