I am highly confused. Is the Australian Schoolboys Team just announced the highest representative honours available for schoolboys? Lots of missing names like Tonga and Sharples etc.

Completely correct. This has been a long standing issue at Newington (last year for example had an amazing back line on paper and so did 2021). Unsure why the coaching staff haven’t picked up on it.

Just seen GPS teams. I’m a Newington Old Boy with some family members at King’s so a few observations: 1. King’s who are leading the Comp and may go undefeated have 5 boys in GPS 1s and Newington who have only won 2 games has 4 boys selected. 2. The Captain of King’s was not selected anywhere...

This has been bugging me for a while, what is the pronunciation of the forename of the Joeys Captain. Is it Huey?

Beating Joeys at home? Yes I was wondering about the As, the 14s and 15s were both very strong last year

I didn’t know Riverview were so strong this year. I had assumed it would be Scots and Joeys

Does anyone know what is going on with New? They have a side of experienced rep players with Rodwell, Ata, McLean and the Cleverly brothers, strong wins against Knox and Waves but just can’t seem to get it together. At this rate they may be last in the comp

The big lad Nate Titi, was he 2nds last year at TKS? Can’t recall the name.

The King’s winger Aadesh (I think). Is he a GPS sprinter? Seems this is his second year playing 1sts but haven’t seen him in GPS Aths or any GPS teams but seems to complement their more ‘famous’ winger Tonga quite well.

Newington has HSC trials starting tomorrow hope it won’t impact Athletics. Any other GPS schools have HSC trials now?

Grammar is so self deprecating they even have their own anti war cries. Instead of ‘are we in it? We say yes, we are the boys from SGS’ I’ve heard them use this at HOTR ‘are we in it? We say no, we are the boys who cannot row!’ This was during the time of Mackerras/Townsend when sport really...

Rugby is important but school is importanter

Most schools do this, possibly without the grammatical errors too

Does anyone know why Riverview has essentially closed its campus?

Just saw news footage, nearly everyone face planted on concrete. Doesn’t look pretty

Scots was originally located in that area (Brighton Le Sands). Lots of GPS families there. Most popular schools are (in order) New, Scots and Grammar. Scots Prep however enrollment demographic at Brighton very very different to Bellevue Hill. More into soccer by the looks than Rugby.

For those who still want more schoolboy rugby SA Western Cape school boy derby Paarl Boys vs Paarl Gim currently live streamed on YouTube. SA schools rugby has to be the most competitive in the world. The under 16As of Paarl Boys, Bishops, Michaelhouse etc play at the standard of 1st XV of Joeys...

Gr Great win by the boys today. Billy Dickens as Captain another fine game.
