Dear Mr Yates
I can only help with an opinion on point 1. I don't have access to the records from 2008 so I can't say for sure re points but my gut gives it to BSHS. maybe a SH aligned poster can assist along with a Churchie fan?
On Point 1, that BSHS side with its 8-9 Aust Schools reps including Curtis "the Freak" Browning in an Aust Schools forward pack as a Year 10 Caucasian were a galaxy of stars the likes of which I don't think we'll see again until Churchie buys the entire Aust Schools team at the end of the forthcoming NZ tour and convinces them to repeat in 2015.
All jokes aside, that BSHS team were well coached (and by this this I mean well managed to have so many stars play within a team pattern. Tuapou the captain was a real leader the other boys looked up to) and by the sheer weight of their representative roll call, they have to be said to be 3x as good as the 2014 Churchie XV who "only" had 3 Aust Schools players.
I can not say what numbers of scholarships were in the BSHS team but if the figure was minimal then that would further enhance a claim for the 2008 side to keep bragging rights as the better team.
Both sides were a pleasure to watch, both would have been a terror to have to play and from what I know or have heard from those who do know, and perhaps most importantly, both sides had humility by the bucketload.
Hard luck igs this year mixed year overall for the school , should go well next year in the firsts as they had so many year 11 players , I hope somebody looks at the following who is connected with rugby at the school , how about a bit of effort in the weekly grammar word , basketball gets a not bad write up but when it comes to rugby , hardly nothing show the boys done respect , anybody who wants to check it out on the igs website , I also heard that the igs u 13a s playing for top position today their game was not on the main field, again a little respect

Interested in the pics from the Churchie Vs GT game. The lineout jumper is clearly lifted on the legs where the tape is. I'm not being critical of the school, because I have seen many other photos involving a range of schools with the same vision. Why do the coaches obviously coach it and why don't the referees penalise it if it is against the ARU U19 Variations?

Brodie Croft will be the Churchie #10 next year
In relation to Churchie only having 3 Aus players this year what I can tell you is the boys had to choose between rep league or union this year and only play one.
The 10,12,14,15 choose league.

I knew they were doing well, I had no idea they won. What was the rest of the ladder like?

I know it is big set-up to 1st 15 from 2nds, but it has made me think all season, given the 2nds defensive performance, if some of the 2nds should have gone up to the big game. The 1st backline was like Swiss Cheese ever since the IGS game and did not improve, especially after giving away a big lead in the second half to TGS:- adjustments should have been made - comments!

From memory every child won a prize, both forwards and backs crossing the line in the second half, but I lost count of the number of times BBC outside backs scored in the final 35. I seem to recall from my vantage point that #11 (Chris Veveris?) had plenty of ball and opportunities for what would end up as memorable game for him, crossing for a hat-trick of tries. A number of Collegians wondered out loud why they couldn't have played like this earlier in the season, I too asked myself the same question...........but there's always next year.
