ARU Junior Gold Cup - National Junior Championships

[Lee Grant]

QRU will also broadcast this weekends final live on RedsTV as well

Thanks

Will it just start streaming from the main page when it starts TOCC, do you know?

From the last post I understand that the Under 17s final will be between WA and Victoria in Perth starting at 11am local time.

Which teams are in the Under 15 final—and where and at what time?

And will RedsTV show a final if Queensland teams are not involved?

Timings are AEST so broadcast should start at 5:45 AEDT. They have only broadcast the matches at Suncorp Stadium so far, so it might be linked to the infrastructure they have there that isn't available elsewhere. The finals are played in the state of the top team aren't they? So I can't see the QRU streaming a game which is based in another state or featuring other teams.

Thanks for the results GaffaChino and congratulations to WA and Victoria.

I see the ARU are a little behind in posting the previous results so I wonder if we will have another web page of incomplete results like so many I have found.

This was an absolutely fantastic final. 2 really talented and committed teams.

I have attached a few photos below.

Congratulations to the Victorian team, not only for a terrific game but also for the grace and good will with which they took the loss. The last photo shows just how much they wanted this title!

Done us proud WA U17s was amazing victory, thank you VIC team for putting on a great grand finals

Sydney Grammar opens team (about 75% of the likely 1st XV) played the WA U17 side at Cottesloe Rugby Club yesterday afternoon.
Very close to the best setting for a rugby ground I've seen.
After leading 14-nil at half time Grammar succumbed 17-14.
Grammar u16s played WA15s and lost comfortably but courageously.

repost from the AAGPS thread

The question HJ, do the ARU know what they are trying to achieve?

The ARU Junior Gold Documentation States:
Appendix 1: Junior Gold Cup Aim, Objectives & Guiding Principles
1.1 Aim
To develop a national model of talent development and representative programs and events that evolves the current pathway, aligns programs and organisations and creates quality and attractive Rugby options for talented young players.

1.2 Objectives
- To align and combine talent development and representative programs across the country and stakeholders to create a quality, attractive and sustainable initiative
- To reduce the large financial costs and time commitments faced by youth players in the current player pathway
- To increase the access of a larger pool of players and coaches to high level national talent development and representative rugby program opportunities
- To recruit and retain rugby players at the U15-17 year age group
- To select players with the attributes and development potential to progress to higher levels of rugby
- To build opportunities and the capacity of coaches, referees and other management

This is what they set out to achieve. Did they achieve that?

Many of the objectives are full of gobbledegook that is not measurable, or subjective in nature.

 

[rams]

to achieve the objectives the program needs to have the buy in from players & essentially parents, quite a few 14's playing in the 15's & quite a few 16's playing in the 17's. If this was a fair dinkum rep program how many kids are really good enough to make a rep squad playing a year up? This is a new program so hopefully it grows some legs, I think the old nepotism & politics has once again crept in to junior rugby.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Hopefully people have sent their constructive feedback in to the JGC coordinators on "opportinities of improvement" in response to the emails being sent out from the Centre.

At worst, the response should be to suggest that the ARU Coordinators read this thread.

 

[Fat Cat]

and the decline of the SJRU thread

 

[Quick Hands]

I'd be interested to know if they think they met this objective (my bold):

To reduce the large financial costs and time commitments faced by youth players in the current player pathway

@Delphy, Congratulations on getting one of your photos (credited to G&GR Forum) published on the Schools Rugby Tribune Report on JGC.

 

[Shane Smeltz]

Great photo Delphy, definitely.

Did anyone read the article and notice that it states "inaugural U17 JGC (teams drawn from clubs)"?

No, the teams are not drawn from clubs. Not exactly.
They are from private schools, league, soccer, AFL - and yeah, a few rugby (union) clubs.

@Hugh Jarse thanks for the heads up.

I am still learning to "drive" this camera so any time someone gets some use or some fun out of the results is a real buzz.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

^^^ That is false modesty @Delphy.

I have just seen some of your work from last years National U16 Championships Thread.

You have posted some very good photographs from that tournament for us all to share.

Keep up the good work.
