B&W,
All of our thoughts are with the boy, his family, and New.
May it be a speedy recovery.
Just a question from an outsider (QLD) - How do TAS manage to travel all their teams every weekend to play considering they live 6 hours from Sydney?
They generally stay overnight on the Friday.
That's correct. It's quite a production with 150 or so boys leaving after school Friday by bus. The Sydney schools help by making things like rowing sheds available for the boys to camp. It does mean that the boys are a little tired on the Saturday, TAS travels every second weekend, but hey you are only young once. The buses leave as games finish. You can always spot them outside the grounds

Nice payback for all that itching powder and loud music when TAS are hosting
Big effort by these kids - country rugby players do generally travel well where it's not unusual to travel 3 - 5 hours for a game of footy (Western Plains, Central West, Central North etc) because it's fun and all part of it.
Admittedly having finished school and being over 18, we did play up a bit which made the trip home a little shorter! I think the bus hit about 10 kangaroos once going home from Carinda - a place made famous by the Lampe boys who used to swim across the river in floods to play a game of rugby. There was a field with posts and river sand - the dinners the ladies served after matches in the clubhouse were legendary.
Carinda has about 50 people, a pub (put on the map by a David Bowie clip) and a most magnificent police station (with one policeman) - the gov't had dragged a new one all the way there mistakenly in the 80s as it was meant to be for Quirindi. When they got it there, apparently it took them 6 months to realise what had happened and by the time they did, it was too late to drag back!
