Recently some players just out of school and with some credentials have been contacted by a player agent about signing up. I have some doubts about the need of these players for agents when they are trying to make a name in Colts/Grade. My questions are: 1. Is this a common occurrence - the...

For full details on how the Gold Program was run in 2011 please follow the link below http://austschools.rugbynet.com.au/default.asp?type=library P.S. I only know this because my son finished up in the program this year after being in it since 2009

Was I telling you to mind your business maybe maybe not. What I was really commenting on is the previous whingeing and moaning that has gone before about the program and how little johnny should be in it and little joey is hopeless and really doesn't deserve a place, and really the program is...

Can I just ask everyone given the year the Wallabies have had and their problems with playing at a consistent level every test (which i believe is their major problem) do you consider the state of rugby in this country and the quality of player we see at all levels (Schools, club state and...

The following link will lead you to the NSW Schools website where details of the Sydney gold squad can be found http://www.nswschoolsrugby.rugbynet.com.au/default.asp?id=187171

Why do you need to know about it. The only persons that need to know are the players, their family and the ARU. It has nothing to do with clubs or schools. The players are those identified by the ARU that they believe have potential to progress to higher levels after their schooling finishes.

It worked this year at schoolboys level when St Augustines and Keebra Park played at Brookvale but I do not think it will succeed or be as entertaining as it was on this night.

The Lions tour of 89 played Combined Country in newcastle. I was there and it was played at a small ground (Wanderers home ground) in the heart of Newcastle. It was an awesome afternoon and I remember it well (through a rather drunken haze). Gave it to the Lions all afternoon. Some of these mid...

Lee you seemed to have forgotten that Rhys Dombkins was a first choice selection in both OZ Schools sides this year but was ruled out through injury. If he had not been injured and unavailable for both games then Miller may not have got a run in OZ Schools. He took his chances and good on him...

Remember this is not a test match but a way to try and raise some funds. the selection of Tomkins is just trying to get some publicity and more people through the gate

I see 6 from NSW that were Oz Schoolboys this year

Is the Sean McMahon in this team the same one that played No.8 for OZ Schools this year against NZ. if so a great achievement for an 18 year old

The only way to get school players to maintain a link with a club side is to get them playing for a junior side or even colts while they are still at school in years 11 and 12. As the schools insist on playing their games on a Saturday and forbid their first xv and second xv players from playing...

For those that don't know Waldo has won the NSW Schoolboys Award for 2011 - Matthew Street Award. Otrher winners over the years have been Phil waugh, TPN, Pek Cowan, Rob Horne and Damien Fitzpatrick

is there any information on what schoolboys have been selected for the national academy?

I must say I thank David Pocock for his comments (even thjough I believe it is a bit early to be writing a life book) as i have a son about to enter senior footy. For the past couple of years he has had a fixation about his body shape and physique believing he is too fat and must get a ripped...

I saw that but where did he get the names from. Also, does he mean that all NSW and Qld based 2011 schoolboys are in

Does anyone have any definite names of who is in the Academy

If Cusack had played and Dombkins had played then the back five would have been 4. Browning, 5. Dombkins 6. Miller 7. Cusack 8. Wells (played 5)
