Division 1 kicks off today Auggies v Kinross St gregs v Oakhill St Pats v Stannies Both Auggies and Oakhill will need to focus on todays game and not think about next weekends match at Oakhill on Gala day. St Pats v Stannies? Any thoughts.

It would be nice to know exactly what is going on with the Waratah Cup / Shield. Are they running 2 comps? If that is the case how did they determine who qualifies for the Shield? Is it the NSWRU that run this? In any case, from a half glass full perspective, here are the positives of the...

There is now a 2014 draw up on Schools Tribune but I cannot confirm if this is correct or not. There doesn't appear to be any Waratah Cup this year. ie. No qualification finals for the bulk of the NSW school teams. That's really disappointing if this is the case. Looks like pool groups A B C D...

Oakhill v Joeys. WOW. Oakhill came out very determined this afternoon and put in a courageous effort to just fall short of a deserved win. Oakhill started brilliantly and after 10 mins were leading 14-0. Joeys fought back to 14 all. Both teams had an intercept try.I believe this was the half...

@10to12. I agree that watching a trial for 1 hour is not the best way to pick a rep team. I also believe selecting half of the 38 boys to represent ISA from one school as they have done in the past is questionable at the very least. In 2012 ISA 16's lost by about 7 points to Presidents XV and...

Cracking game at Newington today. Open running rugby, great forward battle and plenty of tries scored. Newington scored in the first minute of play and it looked like long day for the Oaks boys. Oakhill hit back straigjt away followed a couple more and another try to Newington from a charge...

ISA 1 starts 24th May. Oakhill won their 3 South American tour games. No injuries reported. They have tough game this weekend against Newington at Stanmore

Based on 2013 NSW Schools trials in the 16,s you had GPS, CAS, ISA, CCC, AICES and CHS. That is around 150 boys. Take away a few ISA, CCC, CHS and AICES boys who live outside metro Sydney you will have about 120 boys. Then add in the 2013 SJRU (best in Sydney selected from State Champs) rep...

Hugh, I believe its about trying to keep these elite rugby players in the 'system' rather than competing against the league pathway or losing them to league altogether. Its also providing a high level skills and training program to develop these players in order to compete at senior level in...

Does anyone know how they are dividing the four Sydney teams. Interested to know the geographic corridor and /or selection process? IMO the 17 year olds would no doubt be dominated in Sydney by North Harbour if for instance you based selections on GPS, ISA and CAS schools and SJRU. Would GPS...
