Im new to this forum and don't want to step outside boundaries that i am only briefly aware of but .... are we assuming that the Scots has imported allot of players in the 16's ? do we have proof of this ? Why do we assume that Scots have when New has lost by a similar margin to Joeys? ... its no secret how very few of the New first 15 started in year 7 ..same for last year i believe .... I don't want to get into a debate about imports but as a father of two boys in the prep at Scots and an old boy I can tell you that the appointment of Marcus Blackburn as director of rugby at Scots several years ago has brought about a complete grass roots up development program from year 3 in the prep to the first 15... the rugby program has been planned and implemented from the ground up and the results are starting to show over the past few years, it seems to me that this is the way all of the GPS schools will need to go from now on if they want to secure the holy grail.... wether thats good or bad i'm not sure.......
First answer ....... Yes
Saying "I don't want to get into a debate........." You are not going to get the last word here by that fairly lame tactic but don,t be too surprised if after six years of paying school fees you realise a couple or three or four New South Wales U 15 tuen up in term 3 of year 10 or year 9
