Just adding a further point. To me, the Rugby had stopped being a truly GPS competition, just a comp among a limited number of schools. Now I'm back, involved and cheering!

I think that's right about Shore so far as the never giving up is concerned. I watched a number of the games, including the TAS 15As against the Shore 15Cs. On a different topic, it's interesting, maybe I'm wrong, but I reckon the creation of the thirds comp has been a GPS masterstroke. It's...

In the thirds, TAS 29-Shore 5. TAS scored a quick try, then there was a period of more even play before TAS scored again 14 minutes later. The second half opened with a quick Shore try again followed again by a period of more even play before TAS started to run away with the game. I thought it...

It would have been fun to meet you at the game. We must have passed each other! Nice to share with someone with common interests. I wander with my camera. I went to watch the 15s first because a friend's son was playing. I then posted a an album on facebook for that game. I don't think that...

Hi IS. The quote fis rom a post on this thread that actually seems to have vanished. I couldn't find it again! I interpreted fixture flipping to refer to previous cooperative arrangements between the three schools.

"And to address a note that has surfaced multiple times in other forums, unfortunately the Armidale teams in the current years 10 and 11 are certainly weaker than their SGS counterparts, so I'm not entirely convinced the fixture-flipping is going to be viable next year." I'm not sure on this...

TAS 12, SGS 12. Entertaining game, but with errors on both sides. Still, that added to the fun. Both teams can improve.

To Lee. I think that TAS is weaker this year measured by their performance against High, but I will still be watching closely. The point about TAS is that the total number of boys is smaller (about 800) and spread across multiple sports. But the top teams actually get the same level of...

TAS against Kinross First, KW 42 def TAS 5, seconds, KW 22 defeated TAS 14. TAS against High Firsts TAS 10 defeated SHS 5. seconds TAS 22 defeated SHS 7. That's a much better result for High, so either High is better, TAS worse, or a combination of the two! If you look at the other KW results...

This weekend was the annual SBH trip to TAS. Does anybody know the Rugby results?

I think that's probably right, but you have to consider a scale element and also the need to accommodate overlapping comps. For example, TAS wouldn't give up the GPS. It's fought pretty hard over the years to have its place recognised. There is a natural axis between Toowoomba in the north...

Interesting idea, but another variant. There is an entire Rugby world outside Sydney or Brisbane that rarely gets mentioned. You have to read things like the TAS web site or the country media to see it. There was once discussion on this forum that essentially said that TAS boys had no rep...

I have to agree. Still, I guess it's the school's call. We will soon know! As a long standing if now distant member of the TAS seconds, never made the firsts, we may not have been in the comp but we always played at the same level and did win sometimes as we did in our irregular matches against...

I have only just caught up on the new structure for the comp. I don't think that its quite fair for TAS to play in the thirds. I saw a comment earlier that this year's TAS firsts were unusually strong. Even if the TAS firsts this year are weaker, Rugby at TAS is highly professional in terms of...

TAS Firsts lost to Kings seconds 19-12, Kings began with a scurry when their big back line effectively ran straight though TAS to score two quick tries. Kings 14, TAS nil. It looked like a whitewash. TAS regrouped and spent much of the rest of the first half attacking, but couldn't quite get...

Jalaal (1993) wrote: "Just curiously, can the TAS 1st XV take out the 2nd XV trophy? The way they defeated the view two's definitely makes me believe that they can go all the way" I wondered the same thing, although I had assumed so. Next year if Grammar wants to drop down a grade, maybe TAS...

TAS Firsts defeated Riverview in second division 19-17 after having a player sin binned in first half. TAS were racing away, but that slowed them. Sydney High Firsts defeated by Riverview thirds, not sure of score, but not disgraced. Had to leave before first division game Grammar vs Riverview...
