    I wonder how many of the current Wallabies went to a Private School and how many of those wouldn't have if they weren't given a scholarship or assistance. Maybe investing in the club structure would open up a much wider pool of talent !!!!

    They are professionals. If you look at it from a business viewpoint, imagine you are a sales rep in a company that have had shit sales results even though yours were the best, the management are all leaving and all they can offer is a few overseas business trips and in a field that is not...

    The amount of country talent that is not seen is disgraceful, my nephew is in the Country U16 boys squad and they only get seen one weekend a year at the state championships. There is no development officers in the New England area anymore and they can't field a u16 team in their town anymore...

    CAS Rugby 2023

    Was at the game and for what should have been one of the 3 biggest games of the season what was sad was the lack of supporters, both parents and students from both schools. I feel this is the turning point in the decline of schoolboy rugby. If the students aren't engaged enough to turn up what...

    As a Barker parent it always concerned the lower rugby programs were not well supported, my boys ended up playing Volleyball with one now in the NSW U21 team, interestingly my daughter played Sevens and still plays for the Armidale Blues. The difference today is schools are marketing machines...

    Methinks there is some discontent regarding sport in the CAS and GPS https://staloysius.e-newsletter.com.au/pub/pubType/EO/pubID/zzzz6405541c2dc1c087/?aid=0a72e9342e425332&#0a72e9342e425332

    Rugby schools, their players, and the pathway to Seniors

    In my experience I had 2 boys who liked the game but were never going to be worldbeaters. This was OK in the junior years when they were in a team with mates but when teams got graded they lost a bit of interest. However they still got to play with players of similar standard. When it got to...

    Size of the school will also effect the number of teams. Based on the number of years and students Knox has nearly twice the pool of kids to draw from than Alos, Cranbrook and Barker (I know its a rough calculation) Alos 1277 3-12 Brkr 1794 K-12 Crbk 1608 K-12 Knx 3123 K-12 Trnty 2196 K-12...
