No, a NSW person although I have Holidayed on the Gold Coast and Noosa Heads.and great holidays they were. I believe the enhanced depth your GPS and AIC competitions are likely to experience, has the potential to change your respective competitions. Joseph Stalin once said why his more...

Thanks Nomad, I hope its the beginning of a new era in Queensland Schools Rugby. Yes, it might start slowly but here in NSW, many boys return to Rugby in their final year at school. In some cases, whole teams are composed of 18 year olds in Year 12 with some lower teams having something of a...

Hello Nomad, does mean the inclusion of 18 year olds, now extends throughout entire year groups in the GPS and TAS system. Because if does, Queensland School Boy Rugby, moves closer in depth to NSW Schools. I noticed most schools rarely go beyond a 6XVth, even powerhouses such as Nudge are small...

Agree,QH,to me the only discernible skill Aussies Rules has is kicking a ball between two skills upon which the umpire proceeds to dance like a drunken crab. They call us Bum Sniffers in Melbourne, but how many World Cups have they won, None. Because their game is Internationally Insignificant...

Although, somewhat controversial, Knox has Matt Williams, I heard he is really intense and passionate. But somewhat abrasive in his interactions with people.

It also attracts more teachers as coaching a soccer team is easier, than a rugby team. As the rugby coach has to coach both the forwards and backs. In many cases therefore a rugby team requires two coaches to be a well-drilled outfit. In many schools, the less motivated teachers as like...

Newington in their game against Oakhill Won 36-7. A rather unimpressive result when compared to the Barker and Trinity Wins.

It was also the year Newington won the premiership.In the last game of the season, Newington faced Scots at Stanmore with both teams at the top of the competition. As it was New won 30-0 nil to claim the title. But it was a hard fought season with tough and close games against High W14-12...

The mixture of all three associations,where ambitious schools such as St.Augustines are given the opportunity to play top GPS and CAS schools can only benefit the standard of Schoolboy Rugby in NSW.It will also hopefully encourage schools such as St. Gregory's to participate, further against...

Hello QH do the 13As still have an Ex-Wallaby as Coach, if they do it appears its paying dividends in the performance of our young A teams. For the 13As the match between Kings could prove to be a potential highlight, as both teams appear to be travelling well.

I heard that a roster system was/is in place for the allocation of ovals to teams at Newington. In the past this most notably in 16A game some years ago caused some anger. So yes, a sense of the occasion should be the determinant. Oh, any chance of New results against St.Augustines in...

Any news concerning Newington v St.Augustines

This Newington team is a strong one and has beaten every the GPS side at least once, over the last three seasons since the 13s. Clearly, then Scots adds to the strength of this U/16A age group. Apart from Shore who appear, will be participating in this year's U/16A Competition from Joker's...

So the match up with Newington and Waverly could be the hardest challenge faced by both schools to date. Last year a washout cancelled the game a real disappointment. It's a pity I shall be working, but I am sure it will be test both teams who will benefit, as they represent best (to date) of...

Can't comment on the current u/13s but the current u/14s was dominate last year by Newington (Undefeated) Joeys who I think lost one match( against Newington) and Shore. Shore started with a heavily loss to Waverley but pulled together to become a formidable force in last year in the U/13s...

A rude awaking for Newington, with clearly a massive effort to correct the faults you have identified. The issue of fitness is a fault that has plagued Newington 1st XVs since 2016. In the past they certainly have overcome it to degree. I heard that the school had employed a specialist fitness...

Thanks SM for those results, great to see our 14s continuing where they left off from last year. Great to see the 13s starting off their Rugby at Newington with wins. But most of all, great to see the 15As have a good win, even if Scots use Glen Garry as the reason. As the for the firsts...

In the 70s and 80s New did have 5&6 open Rugby teams. But soccer was not the force it is now and the school was somewhat smaller. But for a predomiantly day school, yes, as you said IS, the school does do well. Last year we had 7 Open teams and reserves for an 8th team. But six is still a good...
