how do you think this will play out? Can you forsee First XV games played with no crowds?
Not sure they would know yet , depends on what is allowed regarding gatherings by then I guess .how do you think this will play out? Can you forsee First XV games played with no crowds?
hopefully everything back to normal by July 18..
I can't imagine we will be allowed crowds much larger than 100-maybe 500 this year
Interesting comments above re "The Season". I watched both the Nudgee and the BBC series and I thought they were both outstanding and provided very interesting insights into the two schools. They had very different narratives but I enjoyed them both, particularly the cultural and historical backdrops to each school's rugby programme. I must admit I got goosebumps watching the BBC series during the scene where BBC were heading onto Ross from the changing room to close out a very successful season. As a Nudgee old boy, it was great to see the perspective from another great rugby school coming onto Ross. Well done to BBC and to the producers of the documentary. I would also be very keen to see one done on TSS.
The season ahead.wow.Nudgee and TSS Rd 2 on Ross.this will be a great occasion and I really hope the social distancing measures allow a crowd at this game. Nudgee and BBC at Miskin in the last round could also be a cracking event for Brisbane grass roots rugby depending on how the season plays out. Plenty of other interesting match ups also lined up for the season and i wouldn't mind seeing another school do well such as Churchie or Toowoomba who both had very good teams last year.
I really don't know much about the teams this year but I can't wait for the season to kick off!
Rumor has it they are filming "The Season" with TSS this year. Anything to that?
On TSS..
- Flyhalf , Syris Schmidt won a GPS Premiership as a 16 year old joining only 3 other 16 year old #10’s to have done that over the last 40 odd years ( Lynagh , Flatley , and BSHS 2016’s Issac Crone )
Wuhan Virus ?It will be a shame if the Wuhan virus restrictions allow only 100 people to gather in public to watch the GPS rugby. This will be fine at State High and Grammar rugby as they hardly have anyone watching anyway, nor playing for that matter, but it will be a hollow atmosphere at Ross, Miskin, Tennyson, the Shark Tank etc with no crowds allowed.
When I worked in London there was the "Sydney Flu" going around and if I'm not mistaken, the Spanish Flu, the Zika Flu, the Ebola Virus were also named after the region where it eminated from. Onya Hillary.
July 18 unless it gets canned .So when does the gps season start? Is it definitely happening?
