India’s best rugby club tests its mettle on grassless ground
Livemint – Jun 11, 2007
There are six-year-olds playing an amateur game of cricket on one side intruding into the space of a slightly older bunch of soccer players who seem to be kicking at everything in sight including occasionally the ball. In the far corner of the ground a group of skinny lads are tussling over a rugby ball instead of the ubiquitous cricket ball with a burly Armenian overseeing the proceedings barking out orders and instructions at intervals. Sometimes a player falls ball in hand on the hard grassless ground the rest throng around him and a cloud of dust envelops them. This is life for the under-19 team of the Chennai Cheetahs.

Having experimented with his line-up in the first three Tests of the season Wallabies coach John Connolly has declared his intention to pick a full strength side for Saturday’s game. The Australians on Sunday cut seven players from their 25-man squad for the clash with the Springboks with six Wallabies already in South Africa and the remainder of team joining them on Monday morning.
