If any of these boys make the final squad (3 - 13 Sept) they will be out for the last 2 games (Rd 8 & Rd 9) of the GPS season. How would NC go not having Hewat and Mosely for 2 games?
I got it right last year (see below) and this year is just as easy .
The results will be:
1 NC (and undefeated);
2 "daylight";
3 TSS
4 BBC.

Page 23 of 150>44There is a difference between "talking" & "talking it up".
I have consistently said that on paper I pick:
1.Churchie;
2.NC;
3.BBC or TSS)
Anyone know if any BBC GPS 1st XV team members got letters?
Country or School? If the player is at the school on a rugby scholarship maybe there is some merit in saying that, but it would be harsh on the conscience of the coach to say no you may not represent your country at the Commonwealth Games.Given their 'investment' in these boys, would they 'allow' them to participate??
Surely their 'agreements' would require the school team coming first.

Go QLD GPS! Well done!Little Bro text me and said two from BBC got letters-Jaydn N & one other.
Raroren or Veravis ? I presume.
Hewat has declined the 7's as a busy year is ahead of him I heard . To much interference with GPS comp and Nationals which I believe he is focusing on selection for the the OZ schoolboy side but still a great honour to be put into the 24 man squadIt's not only the last 2 games of the GPS season those that end up being selected will miss; there are also clashes with the individual school rugby camps, trial matches, also with the schoolboy trials, the nationals, aus school rep stuff etc... Busy year for boys with school work supposedly the priority.. and big decisions to be made if they are lucky enough to have options.
Lots on his plate that's for sure. Don't know how some of these guys manage their school work or a life outside sport. 24/7 stuff and they are still at school!Hewat has declined the 7's as a busy year is ahead of him I heard .

I'm hoping the sevens boys will have some system in place to be eligible to play gps if required. That's why they are at these schools isn't it?, can anyone inform me bout the policies. Not really sure how it works??Do they have to choose 15s or 7s.? Bit sad to see boys dropping outta 7s to gain OZ schoolboys, I just hope they get selected!

Oh to be that telented and have that many options in front of you!!
It would be a huge shame to drop out of the Australian 7's opportunity, then miss out on 15's Schoolboys though.. ah the gamble you take... I wonder how many boys would be in serious contention for both, given the different skills, fitness requirements, body shape etc. Obviously Hewat fits both well.
