Not sure whether these are all the TAS teams, New Macca. If you are interested, I will try to find out. TAS is a smaller school, around 850 boys I think, and also plays a lot of sports, so I don't know how many grades there are at any age level in Rugby. This year there has been a noticeable gradient between the A age teams who win against the Sydney Cs and the results of the Bs.
You can get an indication of the importance that TAS, the boys and parents place upon GPS rugby by the fact that TAS, will I think, play five Sydney rounds this year. Re a recent discussion, participation includes the day boys who make up about 60% of the boys. In fairness, even most of the day boys live close to the school. That makes a lot of things easier.

I am not close enough to comment, I guess. I think that its biggest winter sport by a considerable margin.

My ponit was that if their fullback Roach is National Champion/GPS Champion for his age group, the winger must be pretty bloody quick!

Good point i think they started him on the wing put he was not getting enough ball he goes well in traffic too. Just found out the 13 s games is on at Easts oval at 12pm should be a cracker. James Roach is not related to Hugh but his fathers name is Steven ( but not blocker)

GPS Shooting is a popular sport at TAS, to my knowledge it runs as a winter and summer sport.

I quite liked the 12's (showing my age) / 13's on Kirkland - who uses it mostly now ? - Scots Prep ? It looks like those football / rugby combo type posts - does football get played on it ?

It really pisses me off when people think can just such insensitive things like that.
If any of these "Islanders" would be making the Wallabies, no one would bat an eyelid.
I'm pretty sure all teams in the 1sts comp apart from Kings and Shore (funnily both at the bottom of the ladder) have an Islander/s in their teams.

I dont think they need to be snide to be inappropriate - GPSrow's are really no better.
There are good players and bad player from all ethnic backgrounds.

wow ... talk about boxing at shadows
just for the record, I wasn't making snide comments
and not sure that the scots old boy comment I quoted, is offensive
I think some people on these forums, just seek out conflict
anyway just for the record .... or to feed GPSrow's desire for attention
.... I have played with and against "pacific islanders"
and while you can't generalise, they are invariably beautiful people, and on many levels .... and always enjoyed having them as team mates, and more recently as fellow coaches
