Surely the Irish would never.
Irish refs in general love testing the structural integrity of their whistle.

Joeys to play on - Joeys to watch. Shore has nice grandstand but being a cricket oval it's grandstand isn't great for Rugby.

Thats heavy news, hoping for a speedy recovery
One positive is that Tallis is in year 11, and will get to go again next year

And are the Schoolboys that's didn't play in this carnival (ie. Those who made NSW Waratahs and Waratahs White) eligible?

The Australian Schoolboys is now really only the 4th or 5th best player in the system. The top players are either in Gen Blue or the Reds U18's team. The rest are playing in this carnival.
Even though it is great to say you made Australian Schoolboys it is not the best schoolboys in the country.
Hence why you are seeing Sydney Juniors and the Barbarians teams performing well.

no big news there - Joeys go to camp at Kingscliff every year.
What used to be the Australian Schoolboys has been replaced by the "Australian Schools and Under 18s" which is announced at the end of the academy matches and plays the internationals. It is the top junior squad in the country and picks up U18s that are at Uni or aren't at school. This aligns with what other countries do.
The squad announced at the end of the current carnival are confusingly called the "Australian Schoolboys" and "Australian Barbarians" but yes, is really the 5th or 6th best under 18s teams in the country.
The NSW Gen Blue squad members aren't available for selection. You wonder if some of the reserves for Gen Blue Whites would rather 30 minutes playing against the Rebels B squad or pulling on an Australian Schoolboys jersey.

This is a really valid point and highlights the issue with our pathways. They simply aren't pulling in the same direction. The lack of cooperation between the schools system and the pro system really weakens us in an international context and I think it also plays into the NRL's hands.

Great player and better bloke, Dad played with both Thornett brothers. John with Waratahs/Wallabies and later his brother at the Roosters. The eldest Thornett was also a Kangaroo too. I think one of them represented Australia at Olympics in Water Polo. Mind blowing athletic talent in one family.
They stay and train where the NSW Origin team prepare
John did waterpolo and and rugby. Lovely fella. It was a pleasure to have known him.
A question asked a while ago about AAGPS v CAS school rep matches.
I have dug up that the very first games between them was in 1969.
I am yet to start collating these match results. I am still going through records to find how many Joeys boys made the AAGPS 1st and team and how many selected overall along with the position the team finished that season.

Patrick Broe (choccas) has been outstanding for NSW Schools 1 this tournament. He walked through the NSW juniors defensive line on day 1.
Ben Whatley from shore has also been kicking well. He will be playing at Norths next year looking to follow his Head Coaches footsteps (Angus Sinclair).
With the addition of the two Aus Schools side these two GPS boys should be amongst them. Standing out in the limited games they have to prove.
