NSW2 have won the Nationals three times since 1975: 77, 79 & 2016.
NSW2 have beaten NSW1 twice in the Final: 77 & 2016.
!977 was the year the Ella Bros, from CHS and Matraville High played.
The Australian Schoolboys that year went on to sweep all before them on their European tour, receiving rave reviews.
Wally Lewis couldn't make the run on side.
That was a great year for the Australian Schoolboys - but I think you will find that 1981 was better.
During the 1981-82 Australian Schoolboys Tour of the UK and Ireland, the Australian team came home undefeated and having only conceded one try.
A total of ten Wallabies came out of that 1981-82 Schoolboys Tour, equalling the highest number from any schoolboy year. The team included Matthew Burke, David Knox, Tim Kava, Cameron Lillicrap, Michael Lynagh, Brett Papworth, Ian Williams, Steven Tuynman, Brad Burke and Mark Hartill.
Of the 27 players touring, 17 were from NSW, 6 were from QLD and 4 were from the ACT. 11 of the 17 from NSW were CHS students.
