wow, that's a thrashing. What were the differences in the sides that saw Marist get flogged by so much?

Anyone know the result of the other game?

Marist also got beaten in the 16 A's on Saturday which was an upset of sorts. Something of a Grammar ambush on the weekend!! Don't get me wrong, I think it's great the Dara and Grammar are offering some real opposition, that is the only way to develop good footballers. As a long time Marist...

No doubt there Daniel, they have risen to the challenge against Eddies and been unlucky in some respects to have not beaten them at least once. This makes the failure to rise against the other schools as even more inexplicable. You really don't know who wil turn up some weekends, they may come...

Given the recent results of Marist and Dara's improvement this year and Dara victory looms it seems. Marist don't seem to be able to 'get up' this year for the challenges of the big games. As I said, wearing the once prized 1st XV jumper seems to be enough for some. I have seen some players run...

I cant believe what has happened down there at Marist. For the 2nds to get a hiding like this from any side is shocking. Whilst memories are fading with time, once upon a time this would never have happened or been tolerated. It seems an attitude problem exists which given the high levels of...

What is going on down at Marist? Considering the raps on their squad this year they haven't really performed to the expectations. Hats off to Grammar, beating Marist on No1 is never an easy day no matter how strong Marist are. Seems sometimes that the boys at Marist think that simply putting on...

Farrer v Marist result today?

Take it up personally with the club or ACTJRU directly. I don't think anybody on this forum can do much about this matter other than agree or disagree with you, and that has been done...several times. Please move on, it's time.

I agree completely. This tournament is sadly becoming something I am sure it was never meant to be. It's like it has become the HSC of Rugby, i.e pass and your into Rugby Uni...fail and your finished. Much like the HSC, anybody who has actually done it before and failed will tell you it's not...

Your memory is longer than mine IS. The fact you liked my initial post is enough acknowledgement for me that a problem exists and had done for some time. The ARU and ASRU needs to be very careful that it does not drive supporters of the game (players and parents) away with the politics and other...

I'm not going to name schools or kids or anything like that, it's not worth the slanging match that will follow. Anyone who has been involved in schools rugby over the past 20 years, and specifically the past 10 will no doubt no which schools I am referring to without any assistance from me. I...

P.S my last post is not meant to lend support to any particular school not having a boy selected, it is solely directed at schools who seem to have boys selected year in, year out regardless, and coincidentally those schools have people somewhere connected with the selection/coaching aspect of...

I am sure all the boys selected will acquit themselves admirably and represent their countries the way they should. However, I have to say that this tournament and some of the questionable selections (small numbers, but still questionable all the same) are becoming rather frustrating year after...

Im not sure if anyone is able to provide this information, but can anyone who attended today maybe put up what the starting ACT side was?

Thanks for your support Captain. You have perhaps articulated this much better than I did, I possibly wasnt clear in explaining the ASC would only be viable been run at the u18 level and sides up to u16 would still compete with the clubs for ACTJRU premierships. Realistically there is a long...

Looks like they got it pretty much right to me. The vic's are a fairly tough opponent these days and it could be a very good indication of where we are placed in regards to the state champs. Not sure whether 13 eddies players was 100% right, I would say some them will probably get cut though for...

Not sure if this is well known but more kids are actually playing union at Gregs then league. The difference is only small but it is there. I have been told this by a reliable source who also tells me that league is in a little trouble, not due to Gregs itself, but due to certain oppostition...

Both these guys have been very impressive and I would have to agree from what I have seen. What about Tomane from eddies and Simmonson from Marist possibly?

On another note, anyone seen enough to make bold predictions about possible Aussie Schools selections at the championships?
