I cant wait to here the standard Sydney school response to losing to an ACT school of "We only played our thirds or u16's because our CAS/GPS/ISA commitments are our priority at that moment". Wait for it....

I stand well and truly corrected. As a Marist old boy I should have had more faith and am happy to say I have been well and truly proven wrong. Great result.

Anyone know the results from yesterday?

The word 'develop' is such an over used term often adopted to disguise what is essentially still 'importing' players. For some it is even more consolation to tell people that those being 'developed' came from public schools as if to say that now they have a real chance in life because they are...

Sorry Guru but I dont believe that. I am familiar with the people who run Auggies rugby and frankly thats not how they roll. One player only! Is that what is regarded as acceptable these days? With regards to Marist and Knox...Marist lost to Grammar early this year and in general ACTJRU...

I will be suprised if Marist get close to Knox too.

No one will get close to Auggies. Too many imports....oops did I really say that?

What was the score between Grammar and Auggies?

Sorry guys, one last comment before I go. The question was asked, "Does anyone know if any team has won the Waratah Shield without imports!!! I remember Scots were in trouble years ago when they imported a side to win. I am not saying I am against imports but is it possible for the average...

Sorry mate, I cant agree. I think this topic is very relevant to the thread.

HJ, I think we are generally in some form of agreeance? I say lets just open the whole situation up with some kind of transparency so that schools may basically look at their opponents and be able to say 'we dont 'import' and schools A,B and C do. We will not lead our lambs out to be...

Brian, you used the word 'ego' in your post. This is rather poignant as I would suggest that a certain group of people from NSW, ACT and QLD schools rugby over the past 20 years have hidden very conveniently behind words such as 'development', 'opportunity' and 'advancement' to promote the so...

Not sure I am 100% sure of what you are saying. Sports High's are no different to those private schools which 'import' players. As you point out the benefactor is the taxpayer as opposed to some other source at as is the case at private schools, to concentrate togethor a group of kids (talented...

'Import' in the sense of these forums would mean any student (loose term) or lets just use the term player who does not pay all or part of their schools fees at a fee paying school such as St Augustines. The balance or total of the fees is paid by a third party such as the schools rugby club...

A quick look through the division tables shows pretty clearly that grammar dont have alot of depth and that their 1st XV is exactly that. If anything Marist seems to be the strongest at the moment. Their 2nd XV and 16A's are undefeated whilst their 3d XV are mid table and 16 B's are second...

Marist have had six picked in the ACT. This is more than any other school. They must have some ability there and therefore the potential to beat Grammar on their day?

What do you mean with competition like that? Those two schools, eddies in paricular have been wiping the rest of the ACT like a dirty bum for the past two decades at least. I dont think one good team in a lifet ime gives people/schools/clubs the right to start mocking others who have and are...

Who Who is coaching Grammar this year? Does this have anything to do with their vast improvement as well as their player depth?

Uninorths, thanks for the weekly updates. If that score in the Grammar v Eddies game is correct, I am amazed and slightly happy. Can anyone tell me the last time Eddies lost to Grammar, or at least by more than a try?
