[Jack De Guingand] would of been a certain to start Aussie schoolboys if he wasn't in Gills year.
I think you're right, especially with Hooper not there either, and Jack was in the Oz A team, wasn't he? Good player.
Not to the point but what would have happened if Hooper was fit enough to play last year? I reckon that Hooper would be picked as the 6 and Gill as the 7 - an opinion which may bring a few squeals from BSHS connections about the merits of Tuapou. For me it would have been a no brainer.
But by far the best players this season have been Jack De Guingan and Tom Boidin both have a bright future

Can't you call them GPS 1sts 2008 instead of Sydney Uni 1sts Colts?
Hickey is top class. Makes a mockery of all the schoolboy stars picked above him.
