Personally, I believe Scots should be in the GPS as they have very talented young players that will run circles around current players in dominating schools such as Nudgee, BCC and TSS. Just my opinion, could be wrong though.
What is everyones thoughts?? Feel like these 'lower tier' schools dont get enough recognition

A lot of negativity creeping in to posts on this thread of late. This place is meant to celebrate schoolboy rugby. Baseless negativity won’t be tolerated.

Don't forget to get your tips in if your interested.


So far everybody is picking NC and BBC to take the cookies. One brave soul tipping BGS over IGS and a couple of believers backing ACGS.

Very hard to judge this year given the circumstances, and it is still a trial round.

Viewing from afar, I wouldn't write of GT vs BBC.

Terrace is a damn proud rugby school and I think their season last year was a little torpedoed with injuries if I recall.

They didn't get beat by too much in the corresponding fixture last year (though I think BBC kinda left their foot of the gas a little bit during portions of the match) and GT won a close game in the 16As.

I think they have a better chance of knocking off BBC, than ACGS do of beating TSS this weekend.

I think GT will struggle in most games, unfortunately. Will be happy to be proven wrong though.

They will try hard and certainly have a go - plenty of 18 year olds in the forwards and some class in the mid field, they should certainly defend well in the centers, add a couple of talented 16 year olds and they will compete a lot better than 2019 - but they just don't have the talent across the board or especially up front to hang with the top 4 or 5 sides for a full game.

Maybe just maybe 1 upset in them - NC??

C’mon ....

Terrace basically have 7 of 1-9 returning and have a better skill player in Ed Hiley over Ezikiel. Ed should be throwing too seeing as though that was a major issue in set piece last year . The scrum won’t be all that - granted, but the lineout should be good enough if Ed Hiley throws with Boyle and Emarley as main targets

With Boyle , Nasser , Woodward , Emarley , and Chambers back through the pack and Davis guiding / game managing at 9 - there is more than enough for the Terrace Centres to compete against and prove themselves against top line midfields from other Schools.

It’s not a Coaching issue either anymore as was pointed to over the last few years as to what the issue has been. Terrace have a truckload of 18 year olds (6 in their pack and at No 9)

That’s a decent platform for the much vaunted midfield to do their thing

It’s Moment of Truth time

Churchie verse TSS game will show if Churchie has what it takes for the rest of the season. My gut feel will be Churchie will be similar to last year (and the year before). Keep it simple and rely on the forwards to roll along. The team will give a honest and minimal mistake rugby but not have the finish to win the big games. From what I had heard Churchie were hoping their forwards would be a force but from all reports of the BBC game this didn't happen. Maybe the TSS game will provide a better indication of where ACGS is at for the season ahead. May pop over to have a look.

I would like to take this time to formally apologize to the Green and Gold rugby community for the previous immature comments about topics that should never have been discussed. I understand that I may not be forgiven but I really hope I can have a second chance of being in the community. I wish all first XV teams luck for their fixtures this weekend, all punters luck in their tips, and all old boys luck in their respective schools. Keen for the first round of GPS rugby. I am so proud to be part of this strong community and cannot wait to build legacy and culture. Thank you.

I'd never write off Terrace. They were pretty strong last year and if they have all these players returning they should be very solid. Perhaps they knock off one of the big dogs.
