ACT with only 2 players in the Australian schoolboys team and only 2 from QLD II. Both teams were finalist but yet NSW 1 have 10 players and came 4th, this is the problem with Australian rugby. Congrats to all the boys who participated in the comp.

My thoughts:

Aus have gone for a very robust team of players that have a lot of talent.

It appears that NSW had some talented players, but didn't play together well after some coaching issues.

I feel for the CS 15, nearly the player of the tournament!

It will be interesting to see final positions, I like the look of the backrow they will be offering with Moretti, Rorke and Connors being ridiculously good players. Very strong backrow!!

Easy to blame the coaches. They are a soft target. There has been a lot of chatter about NSW players who dominate their school competitions who have had their confidence destroyed by coaches. Perhaps their confidence suffered because they found themselves in unfamiliar territory, under pressure from opposition or being asked to play a position that is not their preferred one because in this team they are not the standout and the coach has deemed it best for the team. No disrespect to the NSW players chosen for higher honours but it beggars belief that the two teams that contested the final could only manage two each in the Australian schools yet NSW I, finish fourth and manage 8.

The ability to quickly gel in a new team and overcome adversity would be handy traits I suspect when opposing the NZ schools. There will be plenty of adversity to overcome.

Put whatever spin you like on this. QLD and ACT have been short changed.

Pavlakis had to be in the top 5 attacking players in the tournament but no place for him?
