Thanks QH for those details, a waste rate of one team per age group, far too many. Numbers should be held to up to and including the U/15s. However, I accept that grounds are problem. Also, particularly in the opens, New has very small boarding House meaning that travel, training and study don't...

I thought Newington beat them last year, 31-19 and Joeys and View have also scored wins over them as well in times pasted. Any corrections or new details will be appreciated.

Many thanks QH for your details and I know what its like to have work commitments on Saturday during the Rugby Season. Sparkle Motion, thanks for your scores and if your a New supporter, welcome on board. Comments from another Newington supporter, are always welcome. The only disappointment is...

I was told back in 2016 when he was a year 7 student, that the previous year he had represented Primary school sports in Aussie Rules, Basketball, Rugby League and Rugby Union. Rugby Australia, if it has a drop of commonness should obtain this boy's services at the first opportunity.

Any results from Stanmore, would be appreciated

Newington is playing Oakhill with a strong representation by Oakhill in the 13s (5 teams) and 15s (4 teams). !4s are fielding 3 teams and 16s just two and 5 in the opens. Unfortunately, Newington don't set out their teams on their website so their numbers are something of a mystery until team...

The same can be said of Eddies and Marist. Considering the ACT won the National championships last year, these schools really punch above their weight.

Good to see Kinross having fixtures against GPS Schools, despite the lopsided score,exposure to the playing strengths of GPS schools will push the Kinross Rugby standard to a higher level. Last year they played Newington in a full Saturday fixture. Again, although well Beaten (NC38 beat KWS7)...

But one worth enrolling a son in, for a whole variety of reasons other than Rugby.

South African Schools tend to be smaller in their enrolment numbers, say 500-600 boys at schools such as Michael House(Their version of Kings). Other significant Rugby schools are Bishop's College and Grey College. Although, smaller than their Australian counter-parts, Rugby numbers are larger...

Many thanks for the update QH, I know its early days but is it possible at some time in the future, for a numbers list per age group of the Rugby at Newington in terms Rugby Teams the school possess. Any efforts would be deeply appreciated

Last year I did see Newington overpower Oakhill in a one sided match( New stopped taking the conversions). But it was more the sheer pace of New, rather than physical strength. They also beat Knox 15As about 60-0 as well as Kinross by a similar amount. In the Shore game it was again New's pace...

What I meant by the 7th CAS side, is that the Shore 16As would simply play CAS and possibly ISA sides, as opposed the GPS sides. Thereby, avoiding a miserably season where they would suffer week after week of heavy loses. Nobody enjoys Rugby when such mismatches occur, least of all the players...

Understandable, their results against Kings and Newington last year, indicated they would struggle to say the least. However, they found suitable opponents elsewhere. They beat Cranbrook 60-5 and Grammar 34-5 don't other game results. So if Shore want to be a 7th CAS side in the 16As for 2018...

Kings and Scots are clear favourites, but View, New and Joeys can be expected to field quality sides as well. With only 5 matches, it might come down the bounce of the ball on the day, depth in the open division and even a Referee's decision. What are the chances of a shared premiership.

I stand corrected, my apologies to the Newington community

More a advertisement for the type of school Newington is and what it has to offer. Its a school moving forward with expanding enrolments, offering a liberal education for a 21st Century Australia with both the HSC and IB. Based on my contact with the teachers at Newingtonand their...

Newington has announced its new Headmaster starting 2019, its Mr Peter Parker, a former English Master at the school from 2002-2007. He also served as a Deputy Headmaster at Cranbrook and currently is the Headmaster of Oxley College at Bowral. He is a believer in Holistic Education, so Rugby and...

Yes, Lindommer, as I would love to, but it does depends on the school I be teaching at in the UK. Some of their leading Independent Schools, such as Charterhouse and Winchester don't play Rugby, but instead Football. Equally, their Government Schools from previous experience in the UK are...

Many thanks Armchair Selector, Quick Hands would be my first choice, he is a father of a player in our very strong u/14s age group and as such is in an excellent position to offer a Newington perspective.
