School sporting scholarships/recruitment

At overload level? How can that be - it's a contradiction in terms.
As ILTW implies this school sport started out as something to fit in around school work, now it so wags he dog that you need an extra year to finish year 12.

Bearing in mind that there are around 150 professional rugby players in Australia, and that the average career is around two seasons, anyone who advises, counsels, encourages or convinces any boy to put playing GPS firsts ahead of school is grossly irresponsible.

And I would encourage people to read today's story about Jack Maddocks, who played 3rd XV at TSC to concentrate on schoolwork ahead of rugby has now been called into the Australian under 20s rugby squad. Wonder how those boys and parents who put rugby ahead of school work feel?

Apparently there are parents and school communities that "LIKE TO WATCH" their boys play rugby perhaps at the highest schoolboy standard in the world.

You're normally a sensible and rational constributor NIS, but I think you're stretching it a bit here.:)

That's the kool aid that the Lambert acolytes drink.

I did say "perhaps".

I will say, the teams that Scots have fielded the last 2 years and Newington last year are best school teams I have seen. And I am pretty sure they would be on par or better than any other school team anywhere.

Some has a little secret that Waverley offer sporting scholarships. I have a little secret that they don't.
