Great result. Particularly to put on a try whilst Uys was in the bin. And great defence after the whistle to hold the Kiwis out. Luck that rushed missed conversion by the Kiwis didn't make a difference.

NZ Barbarians (who Aus beat) just beat Samoa 102-10.

38-21 at HT (5 tries to 3, all converted)

So is this also a case of the poor misalignment of the two systems for LM and other PONI members. Viewed as too good for the Schoolboys pathway so they miss out on the Fiji tour that's just commenced, as well as a bunch of trial games, but also fail at the final hurdle for U18 selection and...

Question is what's the solution. A Colts Super Rugby comp might help grow and protect the players, but it's not going to generate much $s to even cover travel costs, let alone be able to compete with NRL $s.

That's the development squad. You've got the Schoolboys Squad above it which contains one each from Barker, Knox and Waverley http://www.greenandgoldrugby.com/community/threads/nsw-aagps-2025.19694/post-1441733

Post getting dated but good discussion. Be interested to hear what the best Qld grounds are, not having much knowledge up there. Agree Knox is by far the best ground in Sydney after putting seating into the bank, and moving the main cricket ground to North Turramurra, and no surprise it often...

1976 ref to the Matraville High game I assume (now Matraville Sports, but today only 300 students), but quite a list of notable union and league alumni Agree a champs game would be great, but suspect it won't happen while AAGPS continues with two rounds. The tea leaves suggest CAS and IGA...

Unfortunately don't think much of a consolidated record of preseason games exists. As RR says from 2009-2016 CAS played a two round comp with a very limited pre-season, and obviously GPS went that way more recently in 2023. (Note that GPS was once an 8 school comp with High dropping to 3rds in...

What are the from schools on Hunt and Little. Strachan from Knox?

Assume he will be playing both given SG Ball is finished by end of April.

Think it's more that to the casual follower it's just not clear where this team sits given selections are by different bodies and announcements made on different dates etc. Plus the mishmash of some announcements only listing schools, others listing clubs (sometimes junior) and rarely both. A...

Can't see things ever extending to Term3 hols. Too close to HSC.. and you've got the athletics season as well which takes the last half of term 3. For now the GPS comp is nice and close and I suspect they will stick with two rounds, but who knows how long that will last.

Probably the right decision at the time whilst he's still making Italian age sides. But he now seems a bit stuck with an average performance last year for a team now relegated to Serie B. Currently doesn't look anywhere near an Italian senior side, so wouldn't be surprised if his allegiances...

Certainly don't have the same numbers ending up in State or Schoolboys teams, but that's more a reflection on the lack of other schools playing rugby than anything else.

I think other thing to note is that most of the schools have a net intake in Year 11, and few losses to apprenticeships / TAFE, which is the opposite of state schools. So in some cases a kid who might be suspected of having a scholarship by third parties might be a genuine full fee paying...

Would more likely be a criminal matter for breaching a suppression order. And note there is nothing unusual about the supression order - an order like this is pretty standard when the victim is under 18 in order to protect the victim.

There's a thread for that https://www.greenandgoldrugby.com/community/threads/the-best-xv-of-players-from-any-school.6865/

Multiple attacks on a single Shore teacher, but weren't there multiple ones on the sidelines? Can only imagine they are following directions from above.

Newington 54 - Kings 40 (was 28-7 at HT)
