The kids believe they do but the Parents choose to in the final years to improve the education. Achieving a better ATAR opens up more choice once kids leave school.

There in lies a truth not often told.
I do love RU, but my kids schooling is much more important.
They are at a GPS school but not for the Rugby, but because its a quality place for education and turning out good young men.

Is there such a team??? Junior RM would love to hear there was....

 

[George Smith]

George now.. We all now that Rugby followers are far more attractive and intelligent than the dark code followers, however there is a significant man in my life, who loves rugby as much as I do.

the one with two or four legs?

 

[Rugby Mum]

the one with two or four legs?[
I have to say both here George. When one cannot accompany me the other does. Ill be with the two legged one tomorrow, as I believe the four legged ones are not welcome at Riverview.

GS I'd love to spend a couple of hours trawling through your database

Now that made me chuckle, Yes That's him!!! I' ll leave the leach at home tomorrow, and the dog!

 

[DYEL]

I'd be quietly confident that the country boys in this scenario would take the cake .

what an atrocious thought

I just did a quick count on the 24 boys in the 2010 u14 Country Junior Team.
7 are now attending GPS schools with
1 @ St Augustines, Mr Walker no less, and
1 @ Kinross who has also qualified to play for Country u17s this year.
Only 3 originals have made it through to Country u17s
No doubt this sort of breakup is probably typical of latter teams

Putting aside the (understandable) disappointment of your sons' team not doing as well as you'd both hoped, the matter of boys moving to "rugby" schools in Sydney and elsewhere has other imperatives: the backbreaking fees figure large in any parent's decision and is by far the most important determinant. There are many parents who make the decision to send their son (or daughter) away to big school for two, three, or four years because that's all they can afford. Just because that happens to be the years a young bloke blossoms into physical maturity while showing some promise as a rugby player doesn't mean there's some nefarious reason he turned up as King's, or Newington, or Kinross, or wherever. My young bloke went to my old school for five years (we moved after he might've started in year 7) and there were a large handful of boys whose fathers were at school with me whose sons attended for three, or two years, for financial reasons mostly.

To all: please don't continue to bring up the red herrings of this boy or that who moved from, say, Dubbo High to Scots in year 9; it's very disrespectful to the boy's parents.

10, 13, 14, 15 from shore? not quite sure if serious..
and the forward pack, with the omission of McCalman for Cooke, seeing as McCalman played a year at 6 in 2012..I'd nearly relate that to the omission of O'Driscoll.

please provide the country rep team Mr McCalman played and happy to include. I was just needing the 'evidence' along with any others!

Remember, this is a "country" team of origin and not a Newington country team of origin. Therefore we do not include boys where the closest farm they have got to is what the RAS put on each Easter or for the TKS lads having to drive to the doorstep of the 'country gate' just to get to school.
