I agree with Game-Day-Ritual. South African schoolboy rugby is that much better than the rest. There are plenty of games available to watch on YouTube - don't watch the highlights. Watch the full game with the volume down, ignore the pre match fanfare and commentary. Initially you will think how...

Waratahs U16 vs Brumbies U16 on 19th Oct @ Rat Park will be of great interest to that mob at Castle Hill. They have 3 students in the Brumbies' squad, then another 5 in the Waratahs squad.

It’s probably too early for either the Auggies’ camp or the Oakhill mob to comment on next year – got to wait for the GPS and CAS bursars to finalise their scholarship budgets first. There is going to be a lot of parents from both schools having to buy new school uniforms next year !! :):):)

Auggies beat Oakhill in 1st, 2nds and all A grades in every age group yesterday. Complete whitewash. Not sure that has ever happened. Closest I recall was 2013 but Oakhill won 2nds or 16As that year (the year Auggies 1st absolutely pumped Oakhill 60 something to zero under lights at Rat Park) ...

They are going co-ed so joining ISA is for the girls to have sporting competition ... just like Barker is part of ISA. Don't think their boys (rugby, soccer, cricket, basketball etc) will be leaving CAS.

Oakhill 16As will play Riverview 16As. And Oakhill 2nds plays Riverview 2nds.

Mish, no truth in the rumour. A bunch of year 12s were invited to train & played in some 7s tournament with the Woodies' Colts - most likely part of Woodies' recruitment exercise for 2025. So they do have 2 very decent scrumhalves to pick from out at Castle Hill. Besides the 9s, they have some...

Hi Da-S .... I did see there is some sort of a new comp set up involving Redfield, Arndell, William Clarke & RouseHill Anglican College. All located in the Hills area north east Sydney. There are other schools in the area who did play rugby in the past - Northholm Grammar, Hills Grammar...

I reckon your prediction for the Oakhill 2024 team will be way off …... But interestingly I just heard via the grapevine one of their front rowers will be going to King's. I guess it is 'poaching season' now as bursars from GPS and CAS schools start offering scholarships. I have mates who coach...

With regards to Oakhill, of the 6 x U15 Waratah squad, 4 of them will be in their ‘Opens’ age group next year. They also got 3 boys coming back who were involved in the recent triangular series vs Tonga. So, they certainly have depth, and it is timely to acknowledge the contribution of the late...

Not that long ago, there was a "Div 3" in ISA where the 3rd XVs from Div 1 also played 1st XV from Scots Bathurst, Oxley Grammar and Blue Mts Grammar. Used to be a very competitive comp. There were after match functions with speeches and exchange of gifts along with food at Scots, Oxley and Blue...

ISA Opens' trials today at Oxford Falls if anyone interested.

Apparently Oakhill will be taking 70 of their 'Opens Age' players on their NZ tour. How amazing will it be for someone who might be a Year 12 student playing 4th XV and still get the chance to go on a rugby tour with his school mates ? That probably explains why Oakhill has so many of their Year...

I'm a bit late in joining the chat .... but i think if you ask Cranbrook who their most talented rugby player ever, they most likely say someone by the name of Matt Street. Tragically died in a car accident when we was only 20, back in 1980. He missed out on the 1977 Schoolboys tour because he...

"English teachers who wants to coach rugby" like Mr Papahatzis, Mr Melville, Mr Wisemantel, Mr Burke etc etc haven't done too badly in the last decade. Issue is not who coaches the 1st XV …. it is finding the right people to coach 13As to 13Ds . Pius has some real talent in year 11 and they...

I highly recommend the next time your school plays Auggies, go watch the 13As game. The Auggies 13As is a fantastic unit playing high tempo and skilled rugby. Don't worry about the scoreboard, just enjoy watching what these little fellas can do running with the ball.

re Oakhill 16s this year .... if you ask that mob from castle Hill they will tell you this was suppose to be their dream age group when they were in the 13s & 14s. Then several key players decided to leave their school to experience "bursary assisted" opportunities at different GPS schools ! And...

Stannies gave Oakhill one hell of a scare up at Bathurst. Oakhill hung on to a 27-25 win over a brilliant Stannies side who executed everything flawlessly "except" a drop goal in the dying seconds from 35m out in the wind ! But just not enough to match that extra class Oakhill seemed to have -...

Hugh, carrying on the discussion on Div 3, here is what is happening in the ISA Div 1 4th XV comp and 5th XV comp this year. 4th XV comp consist of Chev 2nds Gregs 3rds Kinross 3rds Oakhill 4ths Pats 4ths Pius 3rds Stannies 4ths 5th XV comp consist of Kinross 4ths Gregs 4ths Pats 5ths...

Hi Hugh ... you have shown interest in ISA Div 3 in the past, here are results from Round 1 & 2 if you or anyone else is interested. Round 1 Auggies 3rds 24 bt Scots Bathurst 1st 12 Stannies 3rds 10 bt St Pats 3rds 5 Oakhill 3rds 18 bt Oxley 1st 14 Pius 2nds 38 bt Blue Mts Grammar...
