I know different!

It's not a good read, Does not leave Mr Hawkes in the best of light.

The comments he made at the royal commission and subsequently in the press did not do him any favours but my point is the process of replacing him was in train well before then.

Good morning,
I have not had the patience to go back and have a look through the past pages, so was wondering if anyone could please give me their predictions on what each schools 1st XV will look like this year ?

The annual schools 7s tournament at Scots will be held on Saturday 1 April, 2017. More details coming soon.

 

[Armchair Selector]

Will be interesting to see if Joeys supports the Scots event. Joeys had Reilly in NSW (Blue) 7s Team that won Nationals in December, Swanenberg in NSW White and Heaven in the squad of 28

Would be great to see Joeys support the event. IIRC, they haven't in the past. With the likes of Reilly, Swanenberg and Heaven, they would be a big threat. They would have other players too who would be a handful, such as Edstein-Boyes and Kandalaft.

Kyle Brown Highlights 2016

Some nice plays in that reel.

What pre season rugby tours have the schools planned? Scots are touring NZ 13 to 23 April.

Sssshhhhh Rob.

Nah all good.

The Scots team does look strong on paper and would probably have to be in my top three. At this early stage, I'm not sure who the other two top three teams are though. But with the extended pre season we will have lots of opportunity to find out.

Cameron blades! How regular is his input?

As that explains a lot. I thought newington front row would destroy
Scots in 2016. But they held their own.

I thought newington front row would destroy
Scots in 2016. But they held their own.

And that was reflected in all 3 of Scots front rowers getting selected in GPS 1sts or 2nds, whereas only Newington front rower to make any of the 4 GPS teams was Helu. Although his contribution was undeniably massive.
