Dulwich College through to the final after beating RGS High Wycombe this afternoon at Allianz Park. Some extraordinary refereeing giving out 4 yellow cards and one red (three yellows and a red to Dulwich). One yellow was for pushing another player in the chest! Dulwich down to 13 at one point, but some truly heroic defending camped on their own line for the last 15 mins saw them through 7-3.


The final is on Saturday 29th March at Twickenham against Warwick School. The more support they have the better. Only one other school has won three titles- but that was at the very beginning of the tournament when there was no limit on the amount of Scholarship players. So essentially a third win in a row for Dulwich would be unprecedented.

Wales lose again. Never again should a team take over the lions as if it was their own. They were good yes, but never as good as they thought they were. Great performance by England and it seems only a late French try has prevented them winning a grand slam (cant see them losing to Italy).

Congrats to England on the TC - I actually like them at present - Hope

they win the 6N - Certain non playing personalities like to wind up Welsh

fans however.


England had a big say in the Lions - IMHO - I could list English players

that had influence even in the final game - it's a 23 a side game.


Wales have issues with the new laws at the scrummage (I really would like

to go back to the hit personally and I find it rather unfair that after

years of one law, administrators change to something different 1 year out

from the world cup - Gethin and Adam are maybe to old to adjust and might

be gone now)


They will be back for next years games (Cardiff and RWC at HQ - too many big

players not to be.

You really need Ireland to lose - but apparently they don't

often win in Paris.

With so many players unavailable, England looked really good today. Nigel Owens I think made a couple of poor decisions for a ref considered to be the best. I hope he doesn't believe his own publicity.


The AB's will be better next week but I imagine England can be too. One thing for certain is that England are serious WC contenders next year. With home advantage they should win it given the players they have. 4/1 at the moment.

The Rugby World Cup sent the ballot results today.


I got tickets for Ireland France in Cardiff on Sunday 11 October 2015 and have the hotel booked.


Unsuccessful in getting any England games and semi final or final but pleased to have got something. Anyone else have any luck ?

I didn't even try Mick. Was thinking about that fixture today strangely enough. I didn't think it was part of the ballot as I'd read there were plenty of seats for games in Cardiff. I was also looking at the draw and if Ireland were to win their group (and that match is likely to be the decider) they could have a Q/Final v Argentina followed by a semi v England if they were to win. If they lose to France I think it's a Q/Final v NZ. But hey, we've got to beat them sometime.

      Selective licensing for rentals extended

      By CPR Dave · Posted

      Well, it didn't wash for Boris Johnson when the other half of his married couple organised a surprise birthday party for him by turning up to a meeting he was due to attend in his own house with a small cake during lockdown.

      I see these periodically on Croxted Rd and Barry Rd - it may just be a training run. Edit: armed response units often seem to use BMW X5s, I believe.

      Who knows.. point is, reached national press and radio. says zero for people in power and if it is correct a local established agent in Dulwich. Oh, so that is all fine..in my book, no.! Agent was at fault and also lanldlord for not making sure .. nothing to do with being in power or not.. As a landlord and an agent you have legal responsibilities..

      Advice on dealing with a solicitor who will not use modern means of communication

      By CPR Dave · Posted

      "There are five on our side, all speaking to each other, and ideally would work as a single point of contact.  .... There are five on her late husband's side, who have not engaged with us..."   This puts a completely different spin on this sorry tale and might explain most of the difficulty the poor solicitor is having administering this estate.    I do note that you avoided my question "Are you and your fellow beneficiaries behaving well? "
