It's symptomatic of an ongoing trend in the concentration of top end talent and then the lack of consistent depth all the way through.
This is true in GPS Rugby across all "A" age groups in the Top 3 teams v the Rest
Then the best AIC team ( MCA ) providing clear daylight over other AIC Teams ( although the 10A SLC is the equal or better of MCA 10A and same same with the Villa and MCA 9A's ) These teams from Opens down to 13/14's probably battle it out for the last 2 or 3 spots (on a comparative basis) against GPS Teams in that age group in these spots
But then the top end of GPS Teams whip the bottom third of the table ( and the top of AIC ) but 50 to 60 points ++
Why ?
More concentration of talent is why .
Talent down the bottom end is there but its thinner than a Champion Ruby rollie and it's not as impactful enough on its own to make a difference
I say Old boy cracking summation of all the good and bad, dark and light, ying and yang et all of school boy rugby. Smashing Job.
Wonderful to see those jolly young men from the GPS System teaching the scummy middle classes a thing or to about Rugger. Pass the pink Gin and toast all things GPS.
