No, didnt mention all the great players from the undefeated touring Aussie Schoolboys team.
I was focusing more on the 1977 NSW teams when NSW2 defeated NSW1 before the NSW2 team beat the 1s in the Final in 2016.
Hugh Jarse pointed out the historical significance in 2016 and was discussed in the 2016 National Championships thread.
All points were made in reference to selections of schoolboy teams in relation to the success of players post school.
