How do you know the boys aren't just as excited to play in front of the biggest crowd that most of them will ever play in front of?

It should be a cracker of a game regardless of where they play.

Anyone else see that Johnty Fowler was dropped from 1s? Anyone have an idea why as I thought he was pretty good but with their recent form…

Joeys were often asked to play before Wallabies games in the 90’s, they’d never give up a chance to play on SJC No.1
wow, thanks for confirming my thoughts. Private schools which are virtually entirely white promoting the notion that their culture, religion and 'lifestyle' are better than others...no wonder there are elitism problems with some oldboys...not the real world

Every culture thinks like that to some degree. Bogans think Rugby League is the world's greatest game, Middle easterns think the same with soccer etc.

Well, I’m certainly not here to tell everyone else that they have inferior rugby and school culture when my 1s and 2s lose.

PREVIEW: Riverview vs Joeys
Leichardt Oval is the neutral venue for the highly anticipated ‘Battle of the Catholics’ when Riverview ‘host’ Joeys.
This week Joeys have made some key changes to address the issues that beset them last week. In attack, the short passing game from their forwards was inaccurate, with high passes forcing ball carriers into contact too high – resulting in slow ball or turnovers. Compounding this, the backline then played too deep and moved laterally without threatening the line in the midfield. In defence, there was an unusual lack of energy and communication 1-2 passes from the ruck that led to line break opportunities, which the Newington No.10 accepted gratefully.
Ben Playford and Hunter Fogarty get their chance to shine together after excelling as a 2nd XV 10/12 combination across the past 2 seasons. With this change, and the return of the Energizer Bunny in Pat Young in the 7 jersey, this week’s team now has 5 forwards and 5 backs who came through the successful U13-16 A’s age group teams together – a familiarity in combinations which Riverview has also pieced together very well this year.
View will stick to the methods that has served them well in recent weeks. Competent set piece, a disciplined defensive system to shut down quick ball, and a patient attack that moves the ball from the point of contact. In number 7 (Benji Noble) they have an indefatigable breakdown nuisance, with No. 10 (Joe Dillon) making excellent decisions in his run-pass-kick options. With No.13 Liam Grover linking with his speed merchants in the back three, it is the accuracy and discipline of Riverview (and fitness to do it) that makes them difficult to beat. At the end of the day, ‘View are playing the style AND accuracy which Joeys themselves are seeking to play.
These Marist v Jesuits clashes rarely operate to the pre-game script. It is that fact which will make favourites Riverview nervous, and Joeys believe they have the ability and fitness to disrupt View in the forwards and beat them at their own game.

I'm not sure that anyone actually said that.
In any event, you've made your point.
This thread is for talking about rugby, not so much the other stuff.

Haven’t seen Massey all year is he injured? With also watching Ghattas he is not a hooker at all, saw their line outs against Newington and it was hopeless. Seems to be a better runner or the ball then set peice player.

Riverview vs Joeys PUMP UP 2023 || AAGPS
Give this video a watch.
I believe that this will be the game of the round. Everyone is counting out Joey's when they are definitely still a contending side in the competition. A must-win game between two great teams. What a game this will be!

Mate, you have absolutely nailed it in your preview. I think these changes will make a huge difference for Joeys. Big task in front of them but no one has got over the top of Joeys forwards yet this season despite their lack of accuracy in their go forward. If they re-watch that first half against Scots, the answer is right there - better body height in contact.
