All the best to Sheldon for his complete recovery. He can perhaps take heart that plenty of players have returned from such an unfortunate injury & have not looked back.

Very impressive show up for Newington in the GPS selection, with the whole team being picked for either GPS 1s, 2s, White or Blue, the only exception being Cameron Murray who would of definitely contested for a GPS 1s spot, however he was exempted due to League commitments.
What are we all thinking of the 1s and 2s team?

With the better players from High seeming to chuck their hat in the ring for CHS selection, and only about 3 or 4 from TAS and Grammar being of AAGPS representative standard, most of the 1st XV competition AAGPS Schools (6 x 1st XVs = 90 players) should be looking to get 10 or more players into the 68 representative positions available.
Do you recall how many State and National players were selected from the 2014 World Dominating Scots College 1st XV?
A good effort by the Wyvern Wearers none the less.
What about the 1's and 2's? There will be changes due to form, injuries and for combinations sake between the CAS and CHS games. These are trial games and only represent the view of one group of selectors.
The purpose of these trials is to allow the NSW SRU selectors to select 2 teams for National Championships. Inter association bragging rights are a simple side effect. Many players have been selected for higher representative honours from AAGPS 2s, and AAGPS 3s (Blues and Whites) in the past and this will continue to be the case, particularly when the representative selections are made so early in the AAGPS rugby season.
Good luck to all those involved in the trials. Remember it is only one blokes opinion and there is no guarantee that they will think the same way on a different day, or that a different bloke will think the same way.

GPS 1's seem pretty much right, the backs really picked themselves with good form, the forwards also seem strong. In 2's Mete the winger in 3's unlucky not to get a run, but the other 2 boys are also very good players. Not sure why Eddie King (13) from joey's not in a team ,is he injured? seems to good to miss out on one of the teams.
Cant see any bolters from Blue and White squads which seem to be a selection lottery after only 2 comp games.
Prediction GPS to win both games close in ones easy in two's.

Correct. Happened in first few minutes but didn't go off until half time. Ouch. What a trooper or a lot of adrenaline.

Count the numbers - most boys have been selected i.e. Joeys has 14/15 with King out due to broken jaw. Similar numbers for everyone else.

For those who worry about numbers, here is the breakdown by School of those players selected for the 71 positions from AAGPS schools to trial against approximately 160 boys from other Schools for one of the 46 positions in the NSW All Schools 1st and 2nd XV Rugby squads for National Championships.
E - 7
G - 3
I - 10
J - 13
K - 13

I think that the same would apply to every school wouldn't it? Rarely does anyone have their preferred XV on the park every week. The successful teams are those with the greatest depth who can adequately cover these absences.

Late call up for Joeys so 14/15. Not that I am concerned about numbers just making the point that lots of schools have big numbers of players, as you would expect.

Is there a difference between the blue and white teams? I would think blue should be better and that was the order of the list. (also Blue get the U18 city gig which I thought would be harder than U18 country) But both Jerseys have 3rd 15 on them. Anyone able to enlighten.

would be curious to see the run of results in the Scots versus Joeys over last 5 seasons!
Tom Wright amazing runner, but his kicking on Saturday reminded me of my golf ... driver either connects and it is like a rocket, or it was a shank into the bushes
that younger Smith kid ... wasn't he in 15As last year ... he is good ... hope he gets more game time in 1sts in 2015

I believe that the intention is that they are as equal as is possible. They essentially pick 2 x 3rd XVs.

We will find out tomorrow, which one is better
