I think Joeys are the only school that can genuinely lay claim to having a comprehensive rugby program. It obviously isn't built around weights programs because as they don't have facilities to be putting all those boys through, but it is built around a long tradition of wanting to be successful in the code. That comes from the coaches, boys, staff, parents and old boys. They are strong from A's to H's, always have been. The confusion arises from massive resources being thrust into the top two sides in the school as some kind of program. Newington is actually the perfect example now it's been raised. There is no factory churning out top players, just look at last week, and Scots don't have a brilliant program because the rest of the school isn't performing anything like the 1's. Now having said all that, schools can't whinge if they allocate few resources to their programs and get poor results. Any competition needs to modify the boundaries and evolve within the reality. That means schools need to move with pace setters, improve their own standards, and go after Scots. I didn't see the Scots v Newington game, but I can only imagine that one side was totally spooked and chose not to contribute very much defensively. I hope that Riverview can rise to the challenge and make their tackles for the sake of the game in the GPS. If they can prove to others that Scots are only human and not godlike creatures, then maybe there's hope.
