See post 226 in this thread for some background on Combined States. They play in National Schoolboys Div 1 to make the team numbers up to 8 which makes for a good "square" draw - 2 pools of 4. They typically end up playing off for a place in the bottom 4 with NSW 1, NSW 2, Qld 1, Qld 2...

^^^ Anyone have a team list for Sydney Under 19's or Country 20's?

With Q1, Q2 and Combined States now named, are there any players who may be pushing for National honours (Schoolboys or Schoolboy Barbarians) who missed selection for National Championships due to injury?

With all the Division 1 Teams published now, is there any player who has missed out on a gig at National Championships due to injury, especially if he is a good candidate for Australian Schoolboys or Australian Barbarians?

I think we are in heated agreement that there should be a "reserve" grade development competition run in conjunction with the NRC, and some of the Sydney NRC Clubs had games like Emerging Rays vs Rams Development team or the like as curtain raisers last year, and there are whispers that there...

An NRC Under 20 comp would not help to prepare young men for the following years world under 20's. The June timing of the Under 20's probably helps the NH teams more than ours. The NH players will have had 2 full seasons of post school rugby, mostly in professional club academies, by the time...

As the NRC is run after the respective years Under 20 world championships, it's got to be a NRC Under 19's competition to prepare for the following calendar years World Rugby Under 20 Championships.

I have heard whispers that the NRC Franchises (or maybe it is only the 4 Sydney based NRC franchises) may be running a U19 competition, for those young men will be U20 eligible in 2016, in parallel to the NRC. After the NRC U19's finish, the State U20 squads selection and development process...

The "Incumbents" are not automatic selections for the following year, but having satisfied a group of selectors once when they are in Yr 11 or even in Y10, there is a good chance when they are a year older, that they will be able to do the same a year later when those under the selectors...
