QLD GPS Rugby 2018

A lot more spilled ball in the 2nd game - players seemed to struggle more in the conditions

Agree that CSS 25 really attracted notice ( I think he’s a kid from Marsden High - Izzy Folau’s old digs ) and CSS 10 really seemed to have his way whenever he wanted it - moreso in the first half

Nothing really seemed to trouble CSS in the backs until LTW got the ball. He really is in a different class to everybody else

Was impressed with AIC 8 - good strong tough game

Navy got up 19-10 over Gold .

Quite an even contest, with Navy looking a bit more cohesive and think played better as a team . Plenty of willing contact from both teams . No Carter Gordon for Gold and was missed, Pasitoa from Navy had the better game of the 10s and combined very well with his midfield who both had very good games . Probably made a little easier by the Navy forward pack marginally getting the upper hand.

The wet weather added a little to the error count, but overall the standard was very good considering.

Think the teams in the second game will struggle over the next two days. It was nowhere near the intensity of the first game and full of errors and rolling substitutions. Didn’t seem to have much flow at all. Nil all at half time , missed the full time score.

Good luck to all .


No Gordon (BBC) at 10 or Paretta (TSS) at 10 leaves big holes in both teams as the NC boy was named at 12.-also I see the top ranked winger from BBC did not play either.'8 from TSS looked big-real big.

Bailey Tautau ( NC ) my forward of the night tonight - was everywhere in the 2nd half - even on a big score line and kept the intensity and work rate up . Good stuff

Louis Maritz ( SPC ) best of the backs

Can't tell you a lot about them other where they are from and position they played.....

Aaron Prosser is a 9 from Churchie , he came off the bench for the GPS Navy team at the Qld trials, as did Alex Davies who plays mostly 2 from Brisbane Grammar.

Thomas Gore played 13 for Combined Schools at the Qld trials , big hard running kid from Downlands College Toowoomba.

Thanks Nomad that was of great help. Most feedback on the Australian Schoolboys Championships thread were surprised how few QLD players were selected in Combined States. Can you shed any light?

No worries, can't really shed any light on why so few from Qld in Combined States.

Would normally expect a few more , plenty of talk up here about a couple of outside backs for AIC that many thought were unlucky to miss out on Qld selection , think most thought they would be in CS , but not the case. One is even from the same school as the coach, so at least no claim of any bias I guess? However not sure who does the selecting.

TSS v Sunshine Coast Grammar school rugby trial 15 July.

View attachment 10108

Do we have a result for this game, to me if Rugby wants to expand it's reach and depth, the Sunshine Coast would one region of investment by both the national and state bodies. So a competitive result would be great. By the way does any one know how many teams does SCGS have. Any Info would be appreciated.
