Any team lists out yet for this weekend’s Round 1 games? It would be great to see who’s back from injury and who’s still out.
Jack Maddocks went to Scots...Interested to see this 'strongest all-time 1st XV out of all Australian schools', not least because according the the Wiki page of notable Old Sydneians, Grammar 1st XV has produced exactly ONE Wallaby (Jack Maddocks, 2017) in the last 67 years.
Before Maddocks you need to go back to David Emmanuel in 1958. Grammar claims Julian Huxley (2007) on the back of Huxley attending their St Ives prep school, but he went to high school at TKS.
In the vast majority of cases Grammar's Wallabies were capped nearly 100 years (or more) ago, so it takes quite the imagination to claim they have the strongest all-time 1st XV.
Geez they just scraped through in 1988, as the score was 6-3 Joeys to View. I don't know if school got closer to beating Joeys that year?Between 1988-1992 the Joeys 1st XV did not lose a game.
High and Scots (if I recall correctly). But 1993 scots utilized many (the term that must not be named) players for their centenary year methinks.@Joker Who was the team to finally end the unbeaten streak, were there any big names in the side.

View attachment 21771 Scots were an unusually large side in 1993.
Maybe if the boys from Grammar were not playing in the C comp, this would actually be impressive. The Grammar 2nd XV is also playing against the 5ths and 6ths against any other school, so it would not be that hard to defeat them in the 16a's. The only comp that would have to watch out for the 2027 prem is the 3rd XV comp. In no time do I see them advancing and actually being good enough to compete in the 1s and 2s.Sydney Grammar has a wealth of young talent coming through. The Grammar 16As are better than the twos and pretty much on par with the ones. From what I heard, the 16As beat the twos 61-17 in training and lost to the ones 32-30. This just shows the quality of the young ones. Also a little fact for you, this current 16As team is the only team in GPS history to go 3 years undefeated. Watch out in 2027 comp

Let me know if I missed anything.
Not certain on this however I've heard that Hamilton has left Shore rugby. Unsure if this is due to selection or other purposes.Does anyone have any news on Shore 2nd XV prop Liam Hamilton? He seems to be in a different GPS team every week
Hamstring issues. Should be back for round 2. Fingers crossed...Greig injured? for how long and what
I think it is due to constant changing of teams. E.g getting a run on for the 1s then getting dropped to the 3s. I think if he re joined he would certainly be solid in the 2nds.Not certain on this however I've heard that Hamilton has left Shore rugby. Unsure if this is due to selection or other purposes.
It's a real shame if that's the truth thought he had a good impact in the teams he was apart ofNot certain on this however I've heard that Hamilton has left Shore rugby. Unsure if this is due to selection or other purposes.
I agree. But the mental impact of jumping between teams can't be good for their rugby, same goes for Cowdery.I think it is due to constant changing of teams. E.g getting a run on for the 1s then getting dropped to the 3s. I think if he re joined he would certainly be solid in the 2nds.
