Something for the younger colts to aspire to - pathway to NSW Juniors XV that represents club rugby at the Australian Schools Rugby Championships.

Just disappointed that i can watch live-streamed a 3rd Grade game from a Division 2 Sydney Subbies comp, but not 2nd Grade from QPR?

Is there streaming to watch lower grades/colts in Hospital Cup similar to what Shute Shield do via NSW Rugby TV?

You'll find plenty more info at https://www.nswjuniors.com.au/ - there are multiple articles on this stuff in the news sections.

As per previous - NSW Schools selection is not the only criteria to make GEN BLUE. It is entirely possible that he didn't have a spot in GEN BLUE prior (but i still think he did if it is the same kid we are talking about). But regardless - if not - the GEN BLUE selectors may have seen he...

I think maybe you are a little confused about the new pathway. Yes there was a prelim U18 Academy - this was part of the talent ID process for the GEN BLUE guys. It didn't guarantee you a spot in the GEN BLUE Academy but gave selectors a chance to look at players. The GEN BLUE selectors then...

Think you will find he was already in GEN BLUE so withdrew from selection for schools.

The NSW Schools sides were only 1 part of GEN BLUE alongside NSWJRU U18s and other already identified players. They can invite in whomever they like really. Not that it matters but how do you know he didn't withdraw from schools selection prior to the NSW sides being picked? There was about a...

Western Force play their first Academy game tomorrow against NSW Gen Blue Academy - which is one of the selection trial games for the eventual Australian Schools & U18s.... so they probably more focused on that. The GEN BLUE Academy team is the NSWJRU I team (club Rep pathway)

This is the NSW Pathway explained https://www.nswjuniors.com.au/post/clarifying-the-junior-rep-pathways-in-nsw

Unfamiliar would depend on where your involvement in the game is :) There are some truly talented boys in this team and a great opportunity for them to be included in the pathway. Hopefully a couple go a whole lot further.

No truth at all. State Champs is still an important part of the Club Rep pathway. The Academy model covers both school and club players all the way thru to the Australian Schools & U18s team. Schools and Clubs really only crossover in the U16 and U18 ages anyway. All other ages there are...
