Gents, at 2:00pm this saturday all perspective GPS schools are warmly invited as "spectators ONLY" for the Newington 3rd XV vs. Topou College 1st XV game on Johnson Oval.
If this be the case GPSR, we will have to find good scrummagers first. I have not seen one lad this year aside from M Sandell who has the faintest idea of how to skillfully scrummage. Some of the boys are lucky to stay on the field past scrum 2 of the game. It will come down to the school/club again to find a wisened man to impart the knowledge of the dark world of LHP/H/THP. There is no one there ATM and this is sad.Gentlemen, just to ponder this but wouldn't it be good if we could see more GPS boys making it into the waratahs forward pack then eventually the wallabies! at the moment, the props for the Wallabies are woeful against the northern hemisphere and something needs to be done!
I heard that New trained with the visiting Southport School this week in preparation for their games vs. Trinity and TSS vs. Kings. Any news about these games? Times, locations? Cheers, Wreckless
mate ben robinson is claimed and plays as one of the best props to play rugby union ever. Stupid call. they were up against a team, made up of player who live for scrumaging. You must remember, the northern hemisphere style is much different. its alot more strategic and revolves around kicking and set pieces.Gentlemen, just to ponder this but wouldn't it be good if we could see more GPS boys making it into the waratahs forward pack then eventually the wallabies! at the moment, the props for the Wallabies are woeful against the northern hemisphere and something needs to be done!

Yeah new 14 was definitely mistaken and jammed in but 'interesting' tackles by every winger in that game... food for thought?Good to be back after the long break.
Scrappy but plenty of attitude for 3's. Interesting tackle by New 14 ??
Who do the boys in pink line up against this week?
TSS 38 Kings 24 as told to me by a Kings mum last night. Kings were missing their NSW Schools players.I heard that New trained with the visiting Southport School this week in preparation for their games vs. Trinity and TSS vs. Kings. Any news about these games? Times, locations? Cheers, Wreckless
They had 2 or 3 playing but the other 7 were either resting or not playing as they needed to heal niggling injuries in time for next week season openerDid TSS have their QLD Schools players?
1:00pm - Newington 2nd XV vs. Trinity 2nd XV (Johnson Oval)

5:40pm - Full 23 man Squads of Newington 1st XV and Trinity 1st XV playing before the Tahs and reds on Saturday night.
Probably not the right thread, but I was impressed to see what I think was the Tupou College Brass Band playing at the Aust Schools Final day.
Would anyone associated with NEW pass on my appreciation to the Tupou college boys?
