Last game NSW 1 22 - 7 over Qld II.
My son reports that ACT looked the most impressive today - I wonder if that is the Brumbies academy team or a 2nd XV as NSW has done.

Approx half the boys in the team today are from the u18’s Brumbies squad which played a trial against Melb Rebels last Saturday in Canberra and the previous week against the Western Force. Both were very brutal physical games.

Are there any notable performers from the GPS today? + if anyone is there it would be appreciated if you noted try scorers etc.

is it just me or is the national schools carnival a lot less interesting now that the best school players are not available as they are on Gen Blue duties. I assume it is the same for other states. The pathways have become complex, I imagine a lot of money is wasted in duplication and the whole thing feels a bit odd. Can anyone explain how the delineation between NSW schools and Gen Blue came about and what the rationale is?

Yes and Latham is at South Coogee (Randwicks ground). Not a huge fan of synthetic fields, mind you technology is getting better, but they are terrific when the weather is poor, as per current, otherwise there would be 0 games played.

my take on this (and it may be wrong) is that it dawned on Rugby Australia and its associated state junior rugby unions that it was patently unfair on kids who had left school, yet were in the same age demographic as current school kids, who missed out on selection in the prestigious Australian Schoolboys teams of yesterday (with the associated perks - touring, prestige etc). Also World Rugby changed from U19 and U21 global competitions to just U20 in 2008. So kids playing club rugby who could previously have qualified for U19 now had to compete with kids a year older.
So RA instituted the concept of "Schoolboys and U18" teams instead of just "schoolboys". This allows kids playing club rugby to be available for selection along with the school kids in the Gen Blue teams. The downside is of course that it devalues the National Schools Championships since the better schools players are not available.
While on this theme, what Australian Rugby needs to do is to institute a National Schools Championship along the lines of the the Craven Week in South Africa, the English RFU National Schools Cup and the NZ National Secondary School First XV Championship. Individual schools in australia are very limited in their exposure to other states' top rugby schools - it would be great to see (say) Joeys vs Nudgee, arguably the top rugby schools in each state who (I believe) have never played each other!

Just while we are on this topic, a bit unsure on how the country team is shaping up for this weekend but I know for sure it will be a race to the finish with the NSW schools teams and the SJRU Sydney team which I could not of said in previous years.
