i think you are spot on. Qld selectors obviously high opinion of Tamoua- Swain he made GPS 1 without playing a trial match. i hear he had a blinder yesterday for BBC v TSS in front of national selectors Phillpotts and Wallace . i guess it helps being 6 ft 7 and a champion rower. nice kid too .

Reece Hewat. 2nd year back with the boys and 3rd year in QLD 1.

Why? When both teams were beaten last year?

 

[Hugh Jarse]

@Brian Westlake, No reason why they shouldn't choose a young lad from the Illawarra (Wollongong Vikings) as the Captain of the Australian Schoolboys.

NSWCHS U/16's Rugby Train On Squad

Reece Hewat Illawarra Sports HS

Held hostage behind enemy lines by blue and white banjo wielding kidnap squad, along with some others from the 2012 NSW JRU Under 15 squad.

Re Calvin Pritchard: Word is he may be pulling out. So one has to watch-out what they "assume" from the previous year. I think a lot will depend on the trail form then what happened last year.

 

[The sage]

Don't think winning or losing is important for a captain....Don't you think leading is fairly important??? Actually I think losing gives you more of an edge as you would have a fair bit of humility.

I accept your bet and raise you a shekel (or a beer if I ever meet you in person!). I'm on the Queenslander!

Fixed that for you.

 

[The sage]

Too right it's everywhere!! Good one Hugh. Got me singing now!

There is room for you Hugh in QUEENSLAND, your most welcome.

 

[The sage]

Hmmm Hugh I have a hunch we both may not be correct.

I think you may actually find that whilst the Gentleman in question first came to Australia he was in QUEENSLAND first, then tried his luck (which was very good) in the less fashionable NSW, before returning to his preferred nest, QUEENSLAND (NSW is part of Queensland anyways....just listen to the song!).

However in terms of his rugby career you are correct the nether regions on the most southern reaches of the beachie south of Sydney (just before the hills) is where he started.....but that's all in QUEENSLAND!

 

[Happy to Chat]

Fixed that for you.

He was an absolute standout in the Australian schools team, second year captaining nudgee, and third year in QLD I. There's no one else with as much national and state experience as him.

 

[Derick Slater]

Calvin Pritchard will have much to prove having to come off the bench for GPS 3?

Not really. The talent is spread out amongst the three teams. Connor Moroney was Aus schools best player last year and was a reserve for GPS 2.

This is just a prediction of what I think the schools team will look like. Not sure if there's any talent in Victoria or act, so I guess I'm biased for qld and nsw.

Evidently biased. Factor in a few from Victoria. ACT will have some that press claims.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Any reports from the Ponies vs Rebels Schoolboys, @Pablo?

 

[The sage]

That's a pretty good attempt. I don't know of non GPS (Qld) players, but of the GPS (Qld) guys watch for either #6 S Wallis (ACGS) and K Meni (NC), # 10 L Mosley (NC) and #15 G Robertson (IGS). Liam Mosley can play # 12 as well. J Farrell (BBC) has been playing well and solid, but is not a given yet! There have been some good performances from a few other #6&#7 out there.

As I said previously I don't think K Pritchard (NC) is going to contest this year.
