For the many world-wide followers of the gritty ACGS 16Cs, today the score vs BGS: 8-5 to ACGS

There is also a battle of epic proportions to come on Saturday, and only the true insiders and persons of esteemed rugby insight appreciate the spectacle it will be and the multiple rugby joys surely on offer: ACGS 16C vs BGS 16Cs at the former, and the former unbeaten thus far. Let it rip...

Such a pity given good crowd (for a new NRC) here at Ballymore. BC coaches and team should be appalled at this display.

Score is now 63-18 with 11 mins to go

This is men against boys at Ballymore. Bris City totally outclassed and looked barely coached or badly coached, their lack of structure and defensive agility are laughable.

For me, the team that has so far come closest to defeating Churchie was TGS at TGS. TGS' forwards work was outstanding throughout the 70 as was their exceptional and accurate line speed in close defence. They clearly had a plan to use their forwards' excellence (both technical and physical) to...

Of course you're right. If you want a perfect example of how a truckload of very good players may not for long periods reach potential as a truly outstanding, consistently winning team just look at the Waratahs until Cheika came along. And the squad Link had in 2010 and 2011 was not drastically...

You might recall that Gilmore did just this as well with (amongst others) Sam Wallis in one of Churchie's earlier dominant wins. When one of our forwards was later injured and out for the season Sam has now been promoted from the Churchie 16As as run-on #6 for the 1sts and has done a fine job...

2003 K Hunt in Churchie 1st XV (interestingly Tony McGahan, now coach of the Rebels, was Churchie 1sts Coach that year). Churchie and TSS tied for the Premiership. 2005 QC (Quade Cooper) and Pocock in Churchie 1sts, with the latter Co-Captain. Churchie and BSHS tied for the Premiership. 2006 QC (Quade Cooper) in 1sts...

An update only The King will appreciate: 16Cs FT TSS 7 ACGS 29

What most observers neglect in deploying the 'cheque book Churchie' moniker is: (a) every GPS school effectively does the same thing, and given that the question is: how well have they imported and blended the new-ish comers with the longer stayers, how well have they chosen the scholarship...

He's around, often in Churchie 2nd XV IIRC. Numerous Churchie observers think he should be in 1sts, talented player. Re BGS 16Cs - funnily enough was lunching today with one last year's BGS 15C coaches, he refused to give me any insider feeds on this year's team tactics, damn it.

Churchie 16Cs are undefeated (so far) :)

Re H Fox, totally. He is incontestably one of the finest loose forwards we'll ever see in the GPS competition. He has it all as a #8: vision, agility, strength, speed, powerful leg drive in contact, excellent fitness, hunger to run over the opposition whether in defence or in attack, and he...

TE, I know that ACGS 16A, B and C all beat NC, the As and Bs by big margins with very low NC scores, 16C 5-0.

I'll PM you one within 20 mins...
