Apparently whenever a strong grade team loses or comes close there are excuses. IGS were missing only their 13 and 8 I'm told. GT apparently had their 13 go off early too and lost 3 other players during the game ... Alls fair in rugby. Considering it was a turn around from a 49-0 loss last year...

I'm told GT had a deserved win stolen from them in the 14s against IGS leading for the whole match losing in the last play. I saw them in round 1 and I thought they were good especially the backs. I'm also told TGS have drawn 17 all against BSHS also in the 14s ... Should have beaten them too...

This is the problem with kids rugby, perhaps kids sport in general. What the hell are the kids playing for? For enjoyment, to learn about teamwork and leadership, to gain life long skills and friendships, to stay fit and attain good habits for the future, and for some to go on a rugby...

Don't confuse a website that provides a good service with the actual competition rules. If someone has a copy of the GPS guidelines document thing you will see it expressly states there is no premiership outside of the 1st XV. This is the same for every GPS sport every school ever plays. I've...

There are no premierships outside of the 1st XV. GT drew two games against NC and BSHS I think, BBC lost one to GT. In my books if there was a premiership that would make it a draw. In other news, no one brags about age group premierships except the kids themselves. I saw that GT team again...

Wait BBC 15A only won by 2 tries? That's a stunning turn around for BGS! Well done to them.

Agree on the 15 for State High, he was good to watch. However that GT backline ran rings around State High, especially the 13. In the second half when GT forwards couldnt keep hold of the ball State High simply ran up the guts because they couldn't beat the GT backs. Ive also seen this random...

14A IGS 39 ACGS 5 Considering IGS won 100 - 0 last year that's actually a decent result for the boys in blue. Add to that GT turned around a 60-0 loss last year going down 28-17 against State High and only after they lost their star centre at the start of the second half. I'd say this is the...

17-7 now ... So much for this years GT team ... All that talk

At my sons game today, GT finally got them 15-0 in the 15As ... They are even better than last year. Although the State High boys were rusty. The GT 14A backline is one of the hottest I've seen in a while, if they had the forwards to match that monster State High team would have lost. Wasn't...

Most likely this has nothing to do with the school and is more aligned to the player trying to get a shot at Australian schoolboys. At least in my experience this is the case.

\ Ippy barely have enough players for a B team. They also won 3 games in the 16s last year and finished last in the firsts. They struggle to get their kids to training. It's not happening, not until a lot of things at that school that have nothing to do with rugby are looked at. Talent they...

State High had a free ride with one exception in 2015 in the 14s, I don't think they'll get such a free ride this year, but yeah they will win. 16s can depend a lot on the makeup of the firsts. Losing a few key 16s can change the competition. I would be backing NC to reign in the 16s...

A better phrase might be that no one wants to talk BBC up again.

Yeah I know... I guess I meant if I asked them about a new player at the school there is no way I'd get an answer that involved how fit he is, his weight, and that he's not going to play Firsts... I'd more likely get something like "Yeah he's the new kid." and that's all. Which led to me asking...

How do you guys know this detail? Hell my boys go to BSHS and I can barely get anything out of them or the school on what's going on around the school rugby wise. Or is it that GT love to talk more than any other school?

You can't help but feel this saga has affected the teams performance

Yeah no doubt Jones should never have let it get to here, but the point in situations like this is to fix the core problems, not the symptoms. What will be a shame is if it all gets swept under the rug and blamed on Jones because he let it get to this. Jones is gone no matter what so what the...

The two players on the board are Moore and Fardy.

This may be an unpopular opinion but I've never been comfortable with the Brumbies version of player power. This may be the incident they need to transform into a more professional administration.
