View impressive. Looked better rugby players than Saints. Hutchison played in the second half. He was on crutches on Thursday and hadn't touched a rugby ball all year but although he only got the ball only a few times he was terrific when he did. He looked like a 10.79 secs runner. .

Yeah 2007 was the last year. It is a lot tougher for Joeys these days and I don't think they will ever get the dominance in the 1st XV they once had, but they will have dominance in overall rugby results for the foreseeable future. A few other schools seem to have very good 1st XV teams some...

It will be interesting; it always is. Under 20s hardly ever play their "best side" anyway; so we'll have to wait for the money games at the end of the tournament to see who is their best for the opponent they have on that day. The match lists in the tournament are always a compromise between...

He's playing in France. He wasn't in the 1st XV when KB (Kurtley Beale) was playing (unless he played off the bench). He was a backrower in the Twos. The following year when KB (Kurtley Beale) was with the Tahs, Fitzy was the Joeys captain. He was also the Oz Schools captain - one of four from Joeys in consecutive years. .

You can't compare Burton to Foketi. Foketi is a skilful big elusive outside centre, fast enough to play on the wing. You'd rate him higher than inside centre Burton in that position. You can only compare Burton to Stewart but they are different style of players. Burton is an inside centre...

It will also be interesting to see where coach Thompson plays him in the U20s. The NSW U20s used him at 13, but I think the best centres in the Oz team are Stewart and Foketi. Placid will be the fullback in the big games; so AK (Andrew Kellaway) may have to be a winger or a dogsbody in 2014. He won't be a...

2013 Oz Schools player Hanigan should not be playing second row in First Grade. His best position in senior rugby will be at 6. He started last season playing 8 for Joeys and was a standout until he got injured. Kellaway was the best Australian schools player last year. He will be playing...

Watch out for France this year in the U20s. They were undefeated in the U20 6N tournament. .

OK guys we are getting some non-rugby posts and circular discussions which are more about other posters than the rugby. There is also discussion about bursaries, scholarships and dodgy recruitment procedures. These matters are prohibited - read the rules of the schoolboy forum. There is...

I was at all those games. Say what you like about him as a senior player but he was the best schoolboy player I ever saw, and I've seen a few. Sometimes the whole game was like a highlights package: not tries all the time, of course. It was a joy to go to all the Joeys games in those three...

Mate, that is some serious sucking up—but I like it. OK guys settle down and get along with each other. Come on Round One. .

I have deleted some posts with the description: Accusation etc These deletions are also of discussions on the matter, and quotes. No more please otherwise we will have to go to cards. Thank you .

No more comments about the bias of amateur referees thank you.

Yeah - I said they needed a bit of editing didn't I? Ross Haylett-Petty and Jack Payne also play in the second row. Since I wrote last about the ARU squad page they have added Foketi and Lacey to the list of players covered so the comment that another player was chosen must have been made in...

Godwin had a shoulder reconstruction in 2011 after he injured it in a trial at the TG Millner ground when the Force visited Sydney pre-season. He played flyhalf that day and if there had of been a man-of-the-match he would have got it. He wasn't involved in U20s or any other rugby that year -...

I said it was belated. Yeah - the moderators have their names in a dark green rectangle. .

Belated welcome aboard anonymous. You seem to know your stuff. Just be careful about making religious comments even if it's just a throwaway remark. So he doesn't use his arms eh? .

I remember seeing him play in a trial at Viking Park against the Brumbies. He actually did a couple of good things in that game but I was not surprised that the Tahs never used him that year. I wrote in the forum that he was frustrating because he had everything going for him but he didn't...

It changed this year. The Chiefs may be vulnerable because they had those two draws in South Africa. .
