The Waratah Shield competition seems to get more and more secretive as time goes on.
With AAGPS and CAS full and barely holding rugby participation numbers, the only areas for real % growth in the grass roots school system in NSW is through investment and encouragement in the AICES, CCC, CHS and ISA. The Waratah Shield and Trophy cover those associations and should receive more publicity if NSW RU, ARU and NSW SRU were serious about expanding the game and increasing participation numbers.
How about running a Waratah Rugby 7s Series, along the lines of the IRB 7's to attract the smaller schools. 4 pools of 4 teams, allocate series points like theIRBWorld Rugby 7's series does to determine the overall winner. Do something. Try something.
