Australian Schoolboys & National Championships 2013

[Hugh Jarse]

I think this is the younger brother of the centre, Jack. I think he is a halfback.

Correct.

James played well for Queensland Under 16 last year at Nationals.

5. Reece Hewat St Joseph's Nudgee College

This is an exceptional effort by Hewat to go from being one of NSW U15s best forwards in 2012 to the starting side of Qld I's U18s side.

 

[Iluvmyfooty]

The Qld teams contain only 1 player from BSHS. In recent years this school has been a powerhouse of Qld School rugby.

You are still living in 2009/2010 mate.

 

[Iluvmyfooty]

Ok MATE so BSHS are not as strong as previous years. I think they were still strong in 2011 (Brownings last year) so it's only taken 1 season for them to drop away. Any reasons

Did these selections for combined states have to play in the selection trials in NSW or queensland... it would seem not... what were the selection critria?

Did these selections for combined states have to play in the selection trials in NSW or queensland. it would seem not. what were the selection critria?

These blokes selected Combined States:
SELECTORS – COMBINED STATES, AUSTRALIA AND AUSTRALIA ‘A’
Ben WHITAKER, CHAIR OF SELECTORS, ARU
Stephen PHILLPOTTS, Brisbane Boys’ College, QLD
Tim RAPP, Newington College, NSW
Glen CRONAN, Ipswich Grammar School, QLD
Pat LANGTRY, St. Edmund’s College, ACT
Manu SUTHERLAND, Australian Rugby Union, ARU

The criteria is up to them, but membership of NGS is apparently quite useful.

[George Smith]

Attached is the list by Jersey No (where possible) of all the teams in this year's Tournament. Those players backing up from last year are highlighted in blue.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

I'd be very surprised if Brad WILKIN (Iona College) isn't the starting 7 for the schoolboys.

He went on the tour to the Islands last year.

Missed out on the squad for NZ IIRC.

Many QLD posters rate Brad as a certainty.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Thanks for the listing of the Nationals teams George Smith.

My cobbled together listing (with help from Knockers) for the Combined States by starting jumper was only 2 players out (not including the Victorian boy - Alitasi TUITUIOHO from Fairhills College.)

Congratulations to Vic for getting one additional boy selected.

careful Huge, my list didn't have ALL jumpers allocated.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Apols. Thought you had some inside knowledge.

In that case I think Davis is a halfback not wing. Maybe swap Gibson and Delore around.

The Lloydies will also need to replace Currie (NSW II) and Sorevi (QLD II) as well.

 

[FootyHead29]

Attached is the list by Jersey No (where possible) of all the teams in this year's Tournament. Those players backing up from last year are highlighted in blue.

You have missed severel who played last year from queensland. Mitch Third played QLD 2 last year, Landon Hayes and Luke Papworyh played combined states and Wilkin went on tour with AUS Schools

 

[FootyHead29]

careful Huge, my list didn't have ALL jumpers allocated.

Nili Fielea will be the 12 for CS
