Whats your point?
Anyone who gained selection in the 16's should make EVERY schoolboy team till they finish?
You are not mentioning that there were 2 sides selected last year (Sydney & NSW) So none of the kids who played for Sydney have any right to be selected?
What about the other 16 yo's that missed out? NONE of them were unlucky last year? None of them have improved?
There is an age group above this crop,NONE of the 18 year olds deserved selection?

If they keep the same team as they did in the u/16's 2009 i wouldn't dis agree but there are a few players to swap around. I believe from yr 11 returning next year are

The ones i have put in are the ones who in my opinion will go very close if not get to the aus schoolboy level. Dombkins made Aus a this year so he is one step closer JJ purcell missed out but definetly a very good player. Zac attalah playing 2nd xv for kings but apparently all the kings boys want him in 1st instead of that bean smith guy. Who from QLD is returning next year?

NorthernSon - no more posts about Papa or players getting dudded. It's getting boring; so lets all move on.
This is the same kind of thing that occurred on Sportal; though with some differences: NS and some others are much more subtle, are not abusive, know how to spell, know how to use both upper and lower case and even paragraphs. So why don't we want any more comments on the matter? Dislike of being bored.

So Purcell has another year at school? Good player; rate him as a 12 of the Kiwi 2nd 5/8 style.

Surely there must be room in the 2011 team for Brogan Roods and Ezra Amituani from Newington !!

They might get a shot at the Presidents XV. They will play in a double header at Knox on 4 September. Here are the details;
DOUBLE HEADER: FIJI v AUSTRALIA 'A' and SAMOA v PRESIDENTS XV
4/9/2010 - KNOX GRAMMAR SCHOOL - WAHROONGA
NOON - SAMOAN SCHOOLS v PRESIDENTS XV
2.00 PM - FIJIAN SCHOOLS v AUSTRALIA 'A' SCHOOLS
ADMISSION FREE -
---
100% agree. I had a chat with one of the coach also he is a former Wallaby. They are looking for players in junior level who have potential to play at the top level.

Why St. Edmunds College from Canberra no longer in the Waratah Shield Fixture?
Lee Grant
John Eales (66)
Yeah - they excluded Eddies about 5 years ago. I don't know who the folks are who administer the Waratahs Shield but I daresay they are connected with the NSW Schools RU. As such they probably don't want to give ACT schools a leg up.
Any further discussion on this should go to the Waratahs Shield thread.
Incidentally, there is a double header at St. Mary's also and there are other games for visiting sides. To put all the matches for visitors and Oz Schools in one post they are:
Hunter Valley Grammar School - Sat. 28th August 2010
- 2 pm - NSW Country Schools v Samoa Schools
T.G. Milner Field [Vimeria Rd, Eastwood] - Wed. 1st Sep. 2010
- 11 am - NSW Girls v ACT Girls
- 12.15 pm - NSW Combined Catholic Colleges v Samoa Schools
- 1.45 pm - NSW CHS v Fiji Schools
Knox Grammar School - Sat. 4th Sep. 2010
- 12 noon - Samoa Schools v Presidents XV
- 2 pm - Oz A Schools v Fiji Schools
St.Marys Rugby League Stadium - Wed. 8th Sep. 2010
- 5.30 pm - Combined Catholic Colleges v Fiji Schools
- 7 pm - Oz Schools v Samoa Schools
ANZ Stadium - Sat. 11th Sep. 2010
- 5.30 pm - Oz Schools v Fiji Schools
The games at Knox are free, as usual. The league stadium at St. Marys is charging $5 for adults, which is fair enough to cover clean up and lighting.
I believe there is a charge to get into ANZ Stadium also, but don't quote me.

Does anybody know how injuries have effected the Oz Schools teams? I am pretty sure Luasai ( TSS winger ) will be out.He didn't play the last match.

Australia to play Fiji in Schoolboys Test as curtain raiser to Bledisloe
August 12, 2010 - 1:00pm
Story by: ARU
The Australian Schoolboys will have the rare honour of sharing the international stage with the Qantas Wallabies at ANZ Stadium in Sydney next month.
Australian Rugby Union has confirmed the Australian Schoolboys will play a Test against Fiji Schools as the curtain raiser to the trans-Tasman blockbuster on Saturday, 11 September.
Only once before have the Australian Schoolboys team played at the same venue on the same night as the senior national team – back in 2008 when they also took on Fiji in the countdown to a Bledisloe Cup Test at Suncorp Stadium.
“As a promotion for Schoolboys Rugby, the event two years ago was a great success,” said ARU Managing Director and CEO John O’Neill.
“There was wonderful interaction between the Wallabies and the Australian Schoolboys on the day before the game.
“The Schoolboys came to watch the Wallabies jersey presentation, then became part of the presentation when the Wallabies handed the youngsters their jerseys.
“Both teams took away great memories of the experience.
“So we’re delighted to provide another opportunity for the Australian Schoolboys to play the curtain raiser to a major Wallabies Test.
“Our Schools system has long been an integral part of the Australian Rugby pathway, and we’re proud to be showcasing the talent we have emerging across the country.”
The Australian Schoolboys and Australia A Schools team have a program of three matches next month, highlighted by the Test at Homebush.
“I think it’s a fantastic opportunity for the guys to play at one of the best known sporting venues in the world, and on such a big ticket with the Bledisloe Cup as the main event,” said Australian Schoolboys coach Pat Langtry.
“For many of these players next month will be their first representation for Australian Schools and it promises to be a special occasion.
“They will treasure lifelong memories from this match at Homebush but we also need to focus on our preparation in the meantime, concentrate on what we want to achieve in the game, so we can enjoy it even more with a great result.”
Qantas Wallabies stars Benn Robinson and Dean Mumm are attending their former school The King’s School this afternoon and will speak to members of the First XV –five of whom have been named in the Australian Schoolboyssquadfor the Test against Fiji Schools on 11 September.
The Australian Schoolboys and Australia A Schools teams will play three matches in Sydney next month:
September 4 – Australia A Schools v Fiji Schools at Knox
September 8 – Australian Schoolboys v Samoa Schools at St Marys
September 11 – Australian Schoolboys v Fiji Schools at ANZ Stadium, Homebush

Surely this is a good opportunity to bring in to one of the two teams new ARU sevens signing Jason Seage from Hills Sports. There may be some pressure applied now that he is under contract.
Forumites will recall that Seage and Cameron Clarke, Knox Grammar, were both cruelly injured in the first game for NSW2 at the nationals and did not play any further part in the tournament.
