I didn't see him there all week but John Eales was there: http://www.greenandgoldrugby.com/aussie-schools-champs-day-2-2/2/ .

It was interesting that Tim Horan mentioned on Rugby HQ last night that Oz Schools were missing three of the best schoolboys in the country for the match tomorrow: Alex Mafi, Henry Hutchison and Angus Crichton. He must read Green and Gold. .

Please quote the remarks you took exception to. Was it when I said he was exactly the type of player I wouldn't have picked to play the Kiwis because he seagulled too much in the nationals? It was a bit harsh but I don't think it was out of line compared to some of the crap we get on here...

All I said was that Fox would play better without the fat around his waist. He was carrying that extra weight in the nationals too months ago and I was surprised that it was still there. I was also criticised for saying that he seagulled a bit in the nationals, though he had some fine...

Details of the Under 20s games are sprinkled in this blog you referred to: http://www.greenandgoldrugby.com/new-aussie-competitions-part-ii-under-20s/ The main segment of games were in the National Under 20s Competition last March. But the NSW training for them started in October 2013...

It's usually good in Schools but not this year, at least in the 26 picked. Lachlan Anderson was outstanding in the two games I saw him play for Oakhill and was a NSW Is starter, but the Qld lad was picked. I would have chosen Anderson instead of Fox, and once Fox was in I would have replaced...

Too slow to be a 7 - that's for sure, but it wasn't his fault he was picked there.

Steady on about Ireland - they won Six Nations. PS - there is a preview blog on the test here: http://www.greenandgoldrugby.com/preview-wallabies-v-pumas/ .

Monu a tad lucky to be in. Had Summerhayes played 6 against the Baas, his best position, instead of 7 which I never saw him play before (unless it was in the to and fro from the bench in rep matches and I have forgotten) he may have got the start. Yeomans is unlucky also but at least Perese is...

Stream of consciousness Not a bad game though defensive reads were poor - Dempsey looking promising at this level - ditto Jones - ditto Perry - ditto Ale - Ward plays above weight - Peterson playing bruiser rugby like two weeks ago against Perth - Ah Wong looked like Kuridrani when he scored -...

Yeah - it started at 12.25. I got to see some of the game which was between the Emerging teams of the Rays and the Rams. There weren't too many players putting their hands up for the Ones but to be fair it was like a schools rep game with players thrown together and all trying a bit too hard...

One of your best Pfitzy. .

As a starting Super Rugby player Kerevi had one great game and one poor one. CFS was injured even at school—he missed all the Oz Schools games in his last year because of his hamstring problems—and his pro career has been littered with fragile moments. The jury is still out on both these...

Well done to McGregor being chosen to fly over. He was outstanding in the nationals when he got a chance to play flyhalf instead of fullback where he was chosen for NSW II. There was not a struck match between O'Shea and him in the GPS and O'Shea was outstanding every week. Perhaps Jack...

Reminder about the time for the Foxsports TV broadcast of the Oz Schools v Baas game - it has just started. .

Bobby We saw Fox in Sydney in the nationals before the Qld GPS started and haven't seen him since. Crichton of NSW performed better than Fox did in the nationals and was chosen ahead of him in the original 23. Blake of Victoria was also chosen ahead of Fox by the Oz Schools selectors (three...

Craig played hooker in the Waratah Cup final. Here he is followed by over half of his opponents in the final. .

^^^^^^^ It was always so, wasn't it HJ, and it's the same when rep sides are picked at the state level and below that. Now we can see why it wasn't that weird when Fox, ostensibly the third no. 8, was added to the original 23—Crichton and Blake could play elsewhere. .
