Any word on the Scots Firsts and Seconds line ups?
Jack Bowditch from View will be dangerous this season. Will be interesting to see who Newington has to put up against him in the front row for their round 1 clash this weekend.
Where are you getting these stats from? My year at New (I came from Lindfield), every single boy from Lindfield went over to Stanmore, the same with the year aboveand the year below (late 80s). Last year of the 20 or so boys at Lindfield Prep yr 6 at least 14 went on to Stanmore.
Ok as we are only 4 days away from round 1 can we try and get team lists for round 1 (yes i am a boarder in riverview boarding house and if people are interested i can write a report for riverview games if wanted? team lists every week with the limited amount of bias possible)

Taane from New has to be an obvious pick, having represented NSW on the wing last year, not too sure about the other wing, sounds like Cohen from SJC has been playing some good footy? That's a bit of a bolter though.What backs do you think in your opinion specialists and various backs would be in the hunt?
I think you may need to do some reshuffling in some positions, i dont think this will be the team..

GPSrow and others I was wondering if anyone has an idea of what this new 3rd XV comp is going to look like?
Tips for the comp? The stronger and weaker XV's?
Are you unfamiliar with Sydney traffic? That could mean having to play on Friday.Why wouldn't they just schedule the 3rds games, so players have sufficient time to travel to the 2nds game in time to sit on the bench?
Watching the games at Joeys last Saturday the no 10 in their 3rds caught my eye quite a number of times and certainly wouidn't be out of place in the 2nds. Don't know his name as the program only listed the firsts and seconds. The point about good depth being an essential prerequisite for success this year has been made many times over the last 4 months and Joeys have that on most other teams.For this year expect the same schools to dominate but my tip would be on Joeys as they have always had a 3rd XV capable of beating most 2nd XV's.
I'm looking forward to revisit his predictions at seasons end.GPSrow has written an excellent blog previewing the 2013 GPS 1st XV competition here:

also the teams are also travelling to Armidale for their TAS fixture once in the season..so while Sydney traffis is a bit problematic, Armidale to Sydney is an even bigger stretch....Are you unfamiliar with Sydney traffic? That could mean having to play on Friday.

Good idea but maybe also include the ISA champs and the Waratah Shield winners in a round robin comp with the winner to be crowned NSW School Champion? (timing could be an issue as it might have to be played over 2 weeks?)it would be fantastic to see a game at the end of the season against GPS winners and CAS winners. A true Sydney schoolboy battle. Any thoughts on the potential of this
Not sure about the final starting front row but the 1sts likely team will probably be:Any word on the Scots Firsts and Seconds line ups?
