Good to see an ex-second-rower for premier.

Not so for an ex-frontrower as the PM of Australia!

Does he live in Mosman?

Balgowlah Heights I believe - only a short drive to the Balmoral Beach Club.

Regardless of the result of the final game, it sounds like the TSC safari to Africa has been a success. Having taken players on tours overseas, I'm sure that the boys who went will look back on the experience all their lives. For most of them, probably the rugby experience they'll remember ahead of all others.

this only became relevant in 1978 when Rex Mossop suggested the team with the most points on the day would win. For some of the more traditional amongst us the score is not as significant as it's now made out to be when deciding the winner

"The most important thing in the Olympic Games(sport) is not to win but to take part, just as the most important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle. The essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well."

May 17 St Augustines v Riverview trial might be worth a look

My money would be on St Augustines .... View might have a better chance with their athletes onboard

the view pack are pretty handy ... definitely rate Hosea Fotukava & Bowditch ... among others

... although View, will have their hands full with the likes of Aisea

http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/ne...-boppa-schoolboy/story-fngr8iii-1226861460483

interesting that Aisea was only recently at Balgowlah Boys High School

although good on him

It's going to be a great match, that's for sure. I am 95% sure Riverview will have its athletes back, which is a welcomed manoeuvre, but don't quote me on that, as my mathematical abilities are limited.

I don't know a lot about the St. Augustine's team, like many I am familiar with a few well known individuals, but on balance I would say Riverview has a superior team on paper, and the recent trial form of the players most likely to be in the starting XV for this game has been excellent, in my opinion.

I've seen the footage Augustine's compiled from their game against Waverley, and I must concede they looked impressive, however, I am interested to know whether or not Augustine's have had any other trials yet, and if so, what the feedback is from people who've seen games. This Aisea bloke certainly looks, and I can't wait to see him pack against Hosea, a clash which will be a microcosmic representation of the excellent battle we are sure to see at Riverview in a few weeks time.

I'm looking forward to it.

In regards to St Augustine's, as an ISA supporter as such I'm really looking forwardto seeing how the view Auggies match goes. They are obviously both very skillful teams and it will be a tight affair I feel.mhowever from what I have noticed Augustine's always go to to the next level for the big games and this will almost be their biggest game of the season. To put into perspective last year they flogged Oakhill 70 odd nil in the ISA decider, yet beat Pius underwhelmingy by 30ish. No doubt they will get up for this game though.

They, evidently, didn't get to the next level when they played Riverview last year, I don't recall it being particularly close.

Any news on St. Augustine's trial form? They are getting almost as hyped up as the Riverview side, and the proliferation of ISA supports on this thread is ample evidence of this!

Riverview are firming as hot favourites for the GPS Premiership, including 43.4% of the votes on this site. Surely though Scots should also be getting more of the votes after their 2013 season and the number of boys backing up?!?

You'd think so - but Scots supporters don't come around here as much as they used to

 

[Quick Hands]

After what sounds like a successful tour to the high veldt, they might start to pop their heads up again.

A quick question to the Joeys supporters, in regards to this coming weeks fixtures with St Pats, do you know if the teams are been matched ie 1st v 1sts or will it be aligned to ensure a more competitive match. I know last year that St Pats 1sts played Joeys 3rds due to well timed byes. Needless to say that St Pats will get towelled up if it is a straight match.

In regards to St Augustine's, as an ISA supporter as such I'm really looking forwardto seeing how the view Auggies match goes.

By the looks of things it looks like it will be a straight 1sts v 1sts match. Any team lists for Joeys available at the minute?

 

[Quick Hands]

Can anyone confirm or refute the report that Kings will have more soccer teams/players than rugby teams/players this year for the 1st time ever?

 

[I like to watch]

Why would they bother with mere GPS Internet forums when World domination is being played out in "the real world"

No but I can tell you that I was told 3 years ago that the SJC year 7 of that year had more soccer players than rugby: that would be this years u16s-any chance it's true?
