NSW AAGPS 2023

[UncleSam]

Did Darby Lancaster go to an AAGPS or CAS school?

He was very impressive in their first game vs Fiji.

Jack Barrett (Joeys/AAGPS 2022) is in there. A player with so much potential.

 

[Stagnation]

This ref is a shocker

Poor 2nd half for the u20s.

Can anyone easily add schools/ assn etc to the Waratahs squad.

I think Knox has the most with 6 which makes sense. Tom Farr Jones unlucky not to be higher…. He has genuine speed. What is the go with Zach Fitler? Is he injured or did he decline GPS selection / higher honours to focus on league?

Also makes sense - sorry did not recognise some of the names as kings students given they have strangely decided to ignore school / association in the team list. I’d say in a lot of instances the schools have done more for their development than their clubs

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Yeah it’s an attempt at trying to make Rugby not look so private centric. 90% of them wouldn’t have seen those clubs since they were 11 years old.

I reckon they should just list both.

I can’t add schools or associations as I’m not to familiar with other schools outside of Sydney however all I can say that Ireland were far bigger and physical and technically smarter.

 

[Stevenhutchings]

To early to predict Aus 18s teams?

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

I know nothing about QLD so I’d say yes.

Then guys like Fowler have to be considered who are out of School but eligible I believe? Probably a few guys like Sharples and Tonga that may have their names lightly penciled in.

 

[moa999]

And then I work out that that Waratahs Instagram had posted the schools (other than the 2022 grads)

Also states that games will be shown on Rugby Xplorer.

Also those boys who missed out on Gen blue and now playing for NSW Schools, Juniors and Barbarians will be pushing for selection.
Having said this I don’t see too many changes as the Academy teams look pretty good IMO.

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Yeah maybe 1 or 2 if they have a blinder but there will be a couple make it from Vic, ACT, WA and then there’s 60 Academy players between NSW & QLD.

Glad Australian Schools still exists. More opportunity the better for the boys.
