Just so you know, Barker is not the best rugby school in NSW, by a fair bit. Barker is in Sydney's CAS competition and were the winners of that competition in 2022 and 2024 (in recent years), while the team that came last in Sydney's AAGPS this year (Riverview) beat the top CAS team Barker earlier in the season. That goes to show that Barker is at least about 6 teams (the whole AAGPS) behind being the best schoolboy team in NSW. The best team in 2024 from NSW would be Shore or St Augustine's, which both schools beat Joeys this year (Nudgee is the QLD equivalent to Joeys from Sydney, just likely not to the same level - St Augustine's beat shore by 4 points in a friendly during the school holidays, however Shore took it as a friendly when they were up by 10 odd at one point and put on a team that was more than half of 2nds players as reserves, while St Augustine's left their starting team on to try and make a comeback, which they did -
). The last time Barker beat a Sydney AAGPS school was Joeys in 2021. I think in 2022 Barker beat Nudgee, but in 2023 and 2024 Nudgee beat Barker. Also, at the start of the season Shore beat TSS 50-0 at Southport. Only if there was a competition were the AAGPS winner plays the CAS winner, then the winner of that game goes on to play the winner of QLD GPS.
