Any idea where these games may be played?

Perhaps kids get put off when they look at how teams are selected for National honours and say perhaps league and AFL have a better system

I would like to see how Auggies respond to the loss last weekend or are they vulnerable?

I hear that is true but a suggested 30 to 5 penalty count seems excessive. Yellows were in 1st XV

Penalty count very high against 16A Auggies Auggies 1st played last 5 minutes with only 12 on pitch due to 3 yellow cards.

Of the coaches mentioned here only one is at a school that moved from strong Rugby League culture to a strong Rugby Union culture. If you view the other thread about the decline in school boys rugby then Papahatzis must be doing a great deal right

Interesting activity which I have seen for the first time.When was this announced to happen?

He ( Hopoate)played Opens this year at least in the Waratah shield GF match I saw

Its the pathways problem that is on another thread. What is on offer for thes young guys?

Look at Hugh Jarses 1st post and at least two schools ( Auggies and Stannies) should have well defined teams. Auggies may also have some League players who didn't rep at ISA as mentioned in other threads one being Hopoate

That weak team still filled ISA reps, some NSW and one Aust and Aust B player as well as several league reps. Godard's fine boot from a penalty did Auggies for the only game lost in all matches including touring NZ and trials. Won the Waratah Shiled against a bigger, faster Hills sports high...

Agree with much of the above comments. Auggies have been slow to start in many games this year often being scored against early in the game. As it was this time. Worth noting that coaches made a tactical change at half time where they replaced both the strating centre with Lough and Hopoate...

Will any media besides Lee Grant turn up to see the game?

So ISA returns Oakhill 6 Pius 3 Auggies 11 St Pats 3 St Gregs 1 Stannies 10 Kinross 4 I presume there could also be league reps among schools as well

Thank you

Can't recall the players name. Big deal in USA where he was a kicker and when the opposition runners broke through after a punt kick. He was the last line and he tackled the running back. Unheard off.

Do all the trips from the mountains have to be all the way? What if St Gregs was playing Stannies could not Pius play at St Greg's grounds that weekend against Kinross?

Lets hope the ref is strong as last time Hills got away with two vey cheap shots that injured player.

Travel is hard but it broadens the mind.

Stannies also played to the end with passion.
