Sydney Uni is a completely seperate entity to Sydney Uni Rugby Club. It is asociated but is managed and funded seperately to the Rugby Club. Government funding is provided to the University through subsidies and grants that are designed to help the Uni run. With the introduction of HECS the...

I'm not saying that. Just if you go to Uni just for rugby there are plus's and minus'. If you want a Uni degree, the Uni social network and any employment benefits that going to uni may bring then by all means go and get these and if rugby gets you there then good. However you need to weigh up...

And a large HECS debt when your degree is omplete

Question: What is it better for a good schoolboy player to do - go to Uni play colts for a year or two, competing with a lot of talented other schoolboy players, possibly playing some first grade colts. Then progress into the lower grades where competion throughout the grades is even stronger...

I have no doubt that Country Juniors will ensure that their players are given as much chance to be selected as the City boys. I also have no doubt that politics will ensure that there is representation in both sies from the three groups. The concept of NSW 1 and 2 has been mooted for a few...

A good response from somene who makes general comments about a programme they really don't know a great deal about or the kids that are involved. I would suggest that players like Jim Stewart, Cam Clarke and Waldo Wessels (GPS, CAS and CHS) are very suitable participants in the NTS

Interesting. Lets see your sides

Rhys Dombkins, who is currently in NGS was selected to participate while attending Hunter Sports High in Newcastle. The players will be noticed if they are good enough irrespective of the school they attend

will we be seeing another game of Joey's and Auggies this year?

Villa went down to St Augustines last year and was bashed and bruised and the final score was Auggies-lots, Villa-12 or something. Although Auggies did have two aussie schoolboys playing ( Malietoa Hingano and Rhys Dombkins- A's) To Villa's James Klaassen. Auggies will be going to Villa this...

I believe that it is now not possible for the super franchises to sign up players straight out of school. The ARU, I believe, has instructed the franchises that players leaving school must play at least 2 years of club football before they are signed by a franchise. This does not stop the...

from my first hand knowledge of the current program there is no strict dietry requirement placed ont he participants. They are educated as to what is good diet and the benefits of of an all round healthy regime in their lifestyles. As to a heavy weight program I ahve seen the boys schooled on...

but I think the scope and magnitude of the NTS program is too much for children of that age Barbarian I must disagree with your comments. The NGS selects players from all school groups and is aimed at developing these players once they are in school. The school programs you refer to a very...

I believe it will be the full Australian Schoolboys side

Auggies does not play mungoball anymore and have not done so since about 2006. Rugby is well and truly entrenched in the school now

Hope there is a rematch next year however Auggies are off to Japan for the Sanix and this may interfere. From last years team the 4,5,6, and 7 from the forwards are there next year and the 11,12 and 14 from the backs.

Waht is the standard of Schoolboy rugby in SA compared to that played in OZ? I ask this because I believe that the OZ Schoolboys side could be touring SA in 2011

After what appeared to be a word from Pocock. Rocky (or whoever is captain) has to communicate with the refs more or else the suspect scrum penalties will continue.

Quade Cooper is a wonderful wonderful wizard of a player (see I got my W back). Sure his defence can be questionable but he is not alone in this. Many brilliant attacking footballers have been weak in defence. I argue that without his brilliance the Australian attack goes back to a rather...

I hope my post makes more sense to some than some of the other posts made on this thread. I did like RugbyReg's rsponse though. Its not just the victories that impress but the style of football they are playing under Deans. I believe that after the EOYT they'll be acclaimed for the good...
