Final score was 34-12 to Blue or 3rds
Overall forwards didn't stand out from both teams, a lot of drop ball. Standouts were definitely the 4 influential backs from Blue - Rhys Miller 15 (kings), Will Terry 13 (view), Matt Orpen 12 (kings), Yirribi Jaffer-Williams 14 (joeys).. Who all made breaks and set up breaks.. As well as a few tries from those individuals
Good forwards were Jake Hedge 2 (Shore), Lachie Simpson 7 (joeys)

I thought it was hard to pick a standout for GPS 1s in the main game. Gittoes for mine was everywhere the whole backline, especially considering the conditions played exceptionally well. Some of the quick ball movement was outstanding for essentially one day together. Disappointment was the scrum, GPS would have lost 3 of their own scrums seemed something going wrong in the front row.

Jake Prindiville carves up CAS for a try in the second half. Best watched in HD on youtube [since the light was fairly dim..was an evening match under floodlights] >>

Disappointing to see how easily the CAS boys were pushed out of the way but you have to love the name of the halfback from Knox!

Thoughts on a possible NSW 1's team, based on performances from yesterday?

This is something I have found online, the NSW 1s and 2s for 2014. I think working off this and finding out which players were in these teams for year 11 could be a good way of forming some sort of team for NSW 1s.
NSW 1st XV
P.Bradford, E.Craig, A.Vatuvei (CHS); V.Fifita, T.Rudolf, T.Piroddi, A.Crichton, C.O’Shea, S.Tarogi, H.Hutchison, G.Porter, H.Fotukava (GPS); J.Widders-Leece, S.Kirkby, D.Smerdon, H.Summerhayes, C.Watson (CAS), J.Walker, L.Anderson, L.Lough, H.Goddard, W.McRae, S.Afu (ISA)
NSW 2nd XV
M.Laimani, E.Pritchard, J.Sedgemen, N.Gittoes, N.Duffy, B.Freeman, S.Kennewell, T.Wright, J.McGregor, M.Serhon, B.Petterson, J.Woodhill, H.Emery, W.McDonald (GPS); W.Finely, H.Johnston-Holmes, J.Wright (CHS): N.Burkett, J.Williams (CAS); D.Moore, J.Lough, J.Day (ISA); F.Brown (CCC).
Shadows
J.Lotoaniu, J.Nettleton, A.Massimo, L.Swinton, A.Davies, J.Hayson, J.Pierce, B. van Zyl, T.Strang, S.Renton, J.Thomas, N.Yeomans, L.Tali, B.Fontaine, K.Anthony.

This is the AAGPS thread. Debate on the NSW All Schools 1st XV and 2nd XV selections to this thread please:
http://www.greenandgoldrugby.com/co...chools-trial-games-and-selections-2015.15259/
If you want a list of the "incumbents" (those who were selected for Australian Schoolboys championships (NSW 1, NSW 2 or Combined States) and are believed to be back at school in 2015) see here.
http://www.greenandgoldrugby.com/co...-games-and-selections-2015.15259/#post-715505
Note incumbency is no guarantee of re-selection, but it indicates what last years selectors were thinking about last years form compared to the players who were at last years trials.

Saw all 3 games yesterday. Blue V White rained most of game unfortunately,ball was slippery so lots of dropped ball. Blue tight five lead by #2 Hedge dominated the white pack.White pack lost 7 Clifford which did not help as he was best back rower on the field first half. In the second half Blue backs got good go forward ball and outside backs played well.There were no real stand out players here that would be considered for NSW.
GPS '2nds.
Stand out players were #2 Dylan Woods- Brundenell was everywhere , fast with great ball skills and high work rate, Horton in GPS 1's will have to play exceptionally well to keep this kid out.Tim Clements 15 was all class and cut above the others.Once the forwards got on top the backline ran rampant through tiring defence. #14 Tyronr Taukamo entertained with some strong runs and terrific palm offs and #5 Nick Brown was impressive with is work rate and all round skills as was prop Story.
GPS 1's What a thrashing, Well led by #9 Strang this is a talented team. Gittoes terrorised at #6 well backed up by #8 Doyle and #7 Smith. The pack dominted and gave this slick backline great go forward ball.Strang's great service let McGregor pull the strings running at the line and creating lots of opportunities for the outside backs with Kennewell and Prindiville dominating ,although all the bac.ks played well. However i suppoose one has to take a look at the opposition who were totally outclassed. Not one CAS boy could you consider for a NSW spot on yesterdays performance. look forward to the next game against CHS to see how the team performs under pressure.

This has been discussed in the NSW trials thread.
But since I am here, there is a blog on yesterday's matches:
http://goo.gl/2UInZF
As Hugh Jarse says: discuss the NSW trials game in the other thread and not here unless talking about changes to the GPS sides and matters just GPS.
Remember that on Friday please.

Predictions for GPS vs CHS tomorrow? Thinking myself it will be a good game.
I think will be the same result as cas game.

If this rain keeps up, anything could happen. Slippery ball and field, points becoming gold, skill and technique taking second place to luck and grunt work up front; time to head over to one of those illegal betting agencies who run a book on schoolboy rugby.

Not sure I agree that luck takes over in these conditions, rather, as the darkness show us yearly if not weekly those with the best fundamental skills prosper

Reminds me of the stories about the late, great, Greg Davis practicing on his own for a long time after training. Just dribbling the ball up and down the sideline, getting ready for wet conditions.
Something he brought over from the Land of the Long White Cloud no doubt!

Which is quite often the case in the dry too. Note to others the emphasis and high regard that the SJC rugby programme has always placed on the fundamentals.
