Joker - is it possible to get a "native" (ie Word or Excel) copy of your GPS Rugby Premiership History? If we can privately message I'll tell you why.

U18 Squad announced here: https://www.rugby.com.au/news/2019/09/22/schools-u18s-squad

Can someone explain the logic of the two Qld sides? How come they have two teams playing single selections from NSW and ACT? Are the Maroons and the Whites equal standing, or is one the A team and the other the B team?

apologies - formatting went haywire ...

"The two sides will face off at St Joseph’s Nudgee College on Sunday afternoon for interstate bragging rights ahead of Australian U18s selection. A number of players selected for Sunday’s fixture will be fresh off CAS Athletics and AAGPS Athletics meets – with an injection of pace set to be...

glad you saw that last try INP - the video camera got a good shot of a tree and a banner which the players were hiding behind! [PS - pedant alert - "auger" is good at drilling holes, not foretelling the future, ie "augur".]

video of NSW Gen Blue vs Brumbies U18 played yesterday here, for those interested (score was 59-19, not 57-19). [hats off to whoever made the video, but it was pretty shite. You'd think Rugby Australia would show a bit more interest in such grass-roots, Wallaby-feeder games and at least...

Bokenham won't be playing - he's out for ~6 weeks with that broken thumb against View. May be back for the Waratahs Gen Blue game v Brumbies in mid-September.

Two points - (a) since Br Henry's day it's been Joeys practice to select the 1st XV before the first comp game and stick with it. Only injury-forced changes were made. (b) to make the team photo you had to have played at least 3 games (my understanding from vague recollection - could be wrong)...

interesting that the 2nds in 1957 wore the Triband jumpers. I wonder when this practice stopped. In my time the Triband was regarded as sacred, along with the banded socks.

I was there that day, having played in the 13As earlier against a much heavier Newington, a game we won 11-6. One of our tryscorers was our right winger Tony Boyd. In the 1stXV game my abiding memory was John O'Connor hurdling his opposite number to score the only try of the game, won 3-0 and...

yep Louis is a bit yappy - but you need to look at this in context. There was a lot of "interaction" between him and certain View forwards throughout the game. After one such, he was behind View's line surrounded by View players who shouldered and elbowed him as he was getting back to...

he had an epileptic seizure, according to Sister Helen (Joeys nurse)

bad break to his left thumb - bone protruding, pointing one way and the rest his of thumb going the other. Very nasty.

they've got to be looking at O'Kane, you'd think as a workmanlike No6 I would've preferred Dowling over Kanaan as a winger [presume you're talking about players selected in NSW 1 and 2 only?]

Happy to stand corrected - wasn't my understanding, but clearly wrong.

beg to differ QH - certainly in the past the policy was to select the whole 1st XV squad ahead of the 2nd XV. The logic was that the 1st XV reserves, to get priority in replacements for the run-on side, should naturally be higher in the pecking order than 2nd XV players. Whether that still...

looks like the above-mentioned players (and others) have skipped off the blue path on the map, and are proceeding down the green dotted line. was speaking to a mother of a Scots player whose son was told he didn't have tp play for combined GPS if he didn't want to, as he was already on the...

Some big names missing: Botha (S) Koula (N) Bokenham (J) Pollard (B) presumably told to not bother as they're already picked in Gen Blue
