But somehow Brumbies is there! Thanks Brumbies!!!

Sorry TDO but they wont let me in at Hunters Hill. So I am in the same boat as you. How pathetic and incompetent.

SDW, I did a comprehensive coverage of the 3rd XV comp last year, but will cut it back this year so you can all stay awake :-) Firstly there are only 7 teams in the official comp - Grammar 1sts, High 1sts, Riverview 3rds, Shore 3rds, Scots 3rds, Kings 3rds and Joeys 3rds. I understand that...

Both great players, but I agree with Hammer - I would have Domkins in there.

Hello Hammer, Indeed Dowling is experienced at 10, captaining the 16As from that position. He will have no trouble slotting in there if Antico is out, and I don't think that will affect Joeys adversely. I would expect Maffey to move to fullback (he was in great form on the weekend with two...

Imagine my disappointment to settle down with my long black at 11:00 only to see Joeys getting smacked in the 2nd XI Football and no 3rd XV Rugby in sight. Is this a Clutch TV error? If you get a new link Joker or TDO please pass it on. Thanks INP

Welcome PersonOfOfficialdom. This is indeed a great forum with common interest in the success of GPS Rugby (and Schoolboy Rugby generally). Great to have you on board. Regards ItsNotPink

Hammer, That 16A game was indeed one of the great contests. Joeys needed to win to remain undefeated and Riverview had a chance to grab a share of the premiership with a win at home. Unfortunately for Riverview 16As, Bird and Cressey had been promoted to Opens and Joeys lost Kanaan to the...

Hello TDO. The 3rd XV game is at Riverview. Not sure what field the game will be played on, though I did notice the posts have been erected on No 1 and No 4 fields. INP

Thanks for the update Jim and trust you are well. A shame regarding TAS in the competition this year, but three games better than none. I hope that by the time Round 7 comes around I can watch the boys play at Hunters Hill. Big first round in the 3rd XV competition this Saturday as defending...

Interesting that according to the draw, TAS seem to be playing three rounds (R3 v Scots; R4 v High; and R7 v Joeys) with all three games in Sydney. Do the teams not playing TAS in other rounds get a bye? Do the TAS games count towards the 3rd XV premiership? Significant shortage of information...

Agree B&W. This age group at Riverview has been very strong over the years. They also have a number of key players returning from last year's 1st XV so I wouldn't be discounting them at all.

Hello Black & White, I am only going on what Show&Go said regarding a season injury so cannot add anything further here. Indeed a great loss for Schoolboy Rugby if it is true. On another note, it was interesting that the Riverview v St Augustine's trial match on Saturday was not played on the...

Thanks for the common sense Number 7. Firstly there is a very big difference between hand times and electric times (0.24 seconds for 100 metres). Lots of wingers reckon they can "run ten seconds" but put them on a track and it's a different story. But Tolu is the real deal and if he is truly...

Thanks Rudderless. Yes I am sure there are solutions that the schools can implement but reading the Queensland process, it won't be easy. Cheers INP

The AAGPS live streamed the Head of the River and they announced that they are live streaming the Athletics on 1st/2nd August so I am hopeful they will stream the rugby matches as well. What is going to be interesting is how the different schools manage a No Spectator Rule if it continues...

Yes Joker, but at least they are all home games and the first two are trials. Joeys v Kings is the first comp game then Joeys has three away comp games v Scots, Shore & Riverview before a final comp game at home v Newington. In any case it is unlikely that we will be allowed to watch it all...

Statement today from the AAGPS. Note no spectators at the Athletics and no Rugby spectators until at least 22 August. : "The AAGPS Chairman, Mr Mark Ticehurst, in consultation with the GPS Headmasters’ Standing Committee, wishes to provide the following update regarding the return to GPS...

Yes sorry Lindommer, you are absolutely correct. I am referring to the northern try line. Geography was never my strong point.:confused:

Well if Sonny Dill's draw is correct I will be at Bellevue Hill on 29 August to cheer on the Cerise & Blue from my usual spot behind the western try line. Very exciting. INP.
