Random question - are the 1st XV games 40 mins each way?

Am guessing that as a proud Joey's old boy, you are deep down not comfortable with a score like this. The wonderful history and tradition of the Joeys rugby program doesn't benefit from games like this. Everyone involved in rugby needs to understand that we are all following a sport which is...

Assuming +103 is not a typo ... feel free to call me soft, but... I don't understand how the Joeys coaches, sports department, parents & school could let a score like that happen in an under 13's trial match. Given they are a fantastic rugby nursery with an amazing rugby history, I would have...

Does anyone have any insights into how the schools manage to work out who plays who each week. Do all the GPS, CAS, ISA schools sit down in a room at the start of the season and offer up teams (eg. Ill give you a match up with my 14As, if you give me a match up with your 15E's, etc), etc until...

Probably not true to say Aloys dominated as they spent the better part of the 2nd half defending. Was a really enjoyable game between 2 evenly matched teams. There were no super stars destroying the contest, skills physical contest was good. Worth noting that St Pats had 2 year 9 boys playing...

Joker - What is the split in year 7? I can understand that the school culture and drawing power of the 1st XV attracts kids to rugby as they move through the school years towards opens. Interested to know if or how Joeys manages to get the majority of year 7 kids playing rugby. Presumably the...

Aloys has: 11 rugby teams 27 soccer teams

I just hope the catalyst for change isn’t a serious injury to a player in a lopsided match.

A few thoughts...showing some of the difficulties in matching up the younger age groups (from an an Aloys parent). 13A vs Knox was pretty even last year, but Knox steamrolled Aloys 14A on the weekend (10 or so tries to 1). Aloys 14B played Knox 14C, which on paper sounded like an OK match up...
