Unsure. CAS have won three I know of
Don't expect to find many on the AAGPS website.
Pathetic, this is why I created the attached document.
ISA beating these teams? No idea

NSW I vs NSW II will be a great to watch. I reckon NSW II will hand it to the 1's, they will be the closest to taking down the 1's out of all the teams from what I saw today.

Would agree. They filmed the secondary games on Joey's 2 last week (albeit with a sideline camera that often got blocked by coaches/players) so I'd expect the same up North

this tournament is devalued and meaningless since PONI players are excluded in NSW teams and the Queensland teams are not allowed to pick GPS players because their season hasn't started yet. So the QLD players come from 2nd string rugby schools (no Nudgee, Terrace, Southport, BBC etc)

@Joker I think CHS did over GPS in 1998. Very handy CHS side and the first I saw this man mountain David Lyons play alongside some kid with dreads called George Smith at the "old" Concord stadium.

You could also image my suprise seeing George Smith run out for CHS 1st when not 1hr before he was Infront of me at the Macca's across the road (now a 7/11 petrol station I think) ordering a big Mac meal & nuggets. It was one of those games I left, knowing those two boys would wear gold one day.

I know CHS isn't ISA or CAS but it was a segue for a good old story.

Not for the players playing
Rugby in Australia really has just become a bunch of people constantly upset at everything

The system has always existed but under different names/administration. PONI, NTS etc. It's a process to remove double handling within Rugby which is needed. We don't need the ASRU to be a separate body within the Rugby landscape. It serves no purpose now and is a relic of the amateur days that many in Rugby seem stuck in.

We recognise how League has built a flow through from NRL down to SG Ball, Harold Matthews and this is an attempt to re create. The fact ASRU still exist is good and gives even more players an opportunity to play rep footy who wouldn't have years ago.
Although rugby league still has a schoolboy system and schoolboy championships, and while the whole thing is run under the auspices of the ARL/NRL the teams are very much selected and coached by their relevant associations and teaching staff. Their equivalent schools championship start this weekend.

I'm fairly certain that ISA have never beaten GPS, they may have had a win somewhere against CAS but I'm unsure. ISA have been a steady improver in these games. ISA lacks the depth of GPS, but seems to be much closer in depth and strength to CAS than it has been in the past.

Going back into the mists of time CHS have beaten both GPS and CAS at a time when the spread of talent was different - I don't think ISA existed at that time or if it did it was very small and uncompetitive.

So, um, ISA lost by 5 points against GPS in a very close battle and was pumped by CAS later that day, but ISA is closer to CAS than GPS????

Did ISA use all the gas to try and get over GPS?

ISA has the top few sides this year at a GPS standard but it still drops off where the GPS has all the sides this season capable of beating each other and creating depth through all the rep sides. This is pretty reminiscent of CAS which usually has a couple of top sides with elite talent and then it falls away.

the northern beaches in those days where a conveyor belt of talent. its a shame most of the public schools in that area dont play union as regualry.
