Thanks CNorth. If the report is correct it seems a bit tough on the boys. No doubt a few will be disappointed. Never even heard of Beach Soccer as an official sport :confused: Notice there is no New Zealand of either gender. Wonder what happened there?

B&W I completely agree re wide open comp. IF you take the summary of team selections at post#650 as "gospel" then it would appear most teams (as you mentioned) will have around 5 returning Firsts players. My sense of it will be that the school with the most dominant forward pack will be the...

I have no doubt that over the upcoming season we will have passionate believers from both CAS and GPS compiling the data and presenting tables on both forums. What I do look forward to (hope for) are well matched competitive games between schools and associations, across all grades. A kid...

Yes I couldn't find anything either. Very frustrating. You would think that the selection of the Australian Youth Sevens team to go to the Youth Commonwealth Games would warrant a press release. G and G contributors appear to be the most accurate source of timely information on all things...

Will be interesting to see if Joeys supports the Scots event. Joeys had Reilly in NSW (Blue) 7s Team that won Nationals in December, Swanenberg in NSW White and Heaven in the squad of 28

Ok this is a long one but following are the latest posted predictions Last predictions for each school. Note cant find any predictions for Riverview yet so come on! Surely someone has an idea of form before their USA tour in April?????Also no feedback on TAS, High or Grammar For Joeys...

That's a very big call. I hope you are wrong Has been. I cant see how a fine tradition in Rugby will be wiped by the introduction of girls from year 7. Certainly hasn't been an issue from year 10 onwards. Looking at the talent on offer, I believe Barker in the Firsts will be stronger in...

Nope. 19-23 July in the Bahamas (nice!) http://www.commonwealthgames.com.au/page/90/2017-bahamas-youth-games Includes Mens and womens sevens

Correct from the Perth Nationals they select an Australian Youth team to go to the Junior Commonwealth Games in West Indies in July(?) 2017

LG Link brings you back to this page. What am I stuffing up????

I suspect self interest will always trump social good. Remarkable how many times players miraculously appear in schools (bursary or not) to fill positions in a firsts team where there has been a talent gap

As we hurtle through page 321 of this thread and post #6404. A reminder to all those who defend the use of Sporting scholarships in the AAAGPS. Lets be clear, all Headmasters reaffirmed their commitment to the Code of Practice when the stink occurred with Scots and Basketball. It would...

Congratulations to both teams on their selection, a very talented group of athletes in both teams. Hopefully some of the games will be streamed from Perth. Yool Yool and Kieren Mundine have some serious wheels. Will be great to watch them in action!

Rugby mum 2 will love it Az!

Unfortunately no. Sorry for the confusion, perhaps read round 1 as match 1 Matches 1 -5 starting 24 June. I believe GPS schools will play 6 trails from 1 April; 3 trials against other GPS teams and 3 against CAS teams

My understanding is that Round 1 of the NSW GPS Comp will commence on 17 June. 1 round will have been completed prior to the NSW Schools Opens Championship which I would imagine will be on or around 24 June. So one would imagine that the GPS selectors will be out and about checking the form...

Couldn't agree more Check out the highlight packages on the internet for any of the boys looking for contracts. The freedom to throw the ball around and give it a go is what makes Schoolboy Rugby special and a joy for participants and spectators alike. But its not just about the...

I think that is a fantastic idea. Rugby facilities in Victoria are no worse than Riverview and a change is due. Sydney based alternatives would be Kings or Joeys as ovals with outstanding facilities Issue as always will be funding.......I don't see ASRU having the dollars to make...

You can probably add Tristan Reilly (Joeys) to that list who missed the GPS trials and Schools Championships this year due to injury. Voted 2016 G & G Rising Star. A lot can change in the off season and over a 2 year period. In 2014 Blaise Barnes who has just signed with the Eels was selected...

I cannot possibly see Scots being in the div 2 comp considering they won the GPS competition! I strongly doubt rep selection would be based on what competition your school participates in.
