3 teams can only play off for second now, BBC vs TSS next week, and if ACGS lose to IGS then they wont tie for second with whoever wins out of BBC vs TSS vice versa.

Correct me if I'm wrong but did Bronson play at 3 against IGS? If so how did he play?
You must have been at a different game. I have never seen Papworth do anything like you say and i doubt he did that. The things I have heard supporters of BGS say about TSS and their boys over the years are appalling. Bad losers who ring other schools with fanciful stories . Think this may be off the mark from what I saw. Papworth would not have been man of the match doing something like that. Well done to TSS boys, they finished off well.

Maths Sam.
ACGS cannot finish second no matter what happens.
If they win they will end up on 11 points, the same as TSS. If TSS wins, they will finish second on 13 and BBC fourth on 10. If BBC wins they will finish second on 12 points and TSS and ACGS equal third on 11.

Not the sort of thing anyone would have made up. I sat beside the scoreboard, 5 or 6 metres away from the corner where the incident happened. If TSS supporters can tell me it didn't happen from their stand 60 metres away, then fine. I'd like to say that I'm fairly impartial in these sorts of matters. I'll ask around and see if everyone else saw it happen.
Yes he did. Personally I think 2 or 1 is where he will end up (or maybe 3).
He was strong as usual but given that BBC were sloppy in retaining possession all game and struggled to mount the phases he did not have many attacking opportunities. The space was outside 13 all day!
In fact that it correct, as I'm his mother, Clancy, it's sad to see my boy so upset. Sione replaced jim with Anthony Addick making his 1st XV debut as inside centre.

Luke Peterson (BBC's normal tighthead) was out injured.

I know that just I've heard that Brad Saunders (played 2 on the weekend) preferred position is prop so why not play Saunders at 3 and Bronson at 2?

Because Luke peterson was injured, bring Bronson from 8 to fill in at 2, and Ben Gunter back at 8.
Could explain some of BBC's softness down the middle, Bronson played his usual wide game, while Peterson's strength is in the mid field and at the break down- not that it was Bronson's fault but I think BBC struggled in the tight five.

Ippy have some of the best ball runners in the comp undoubtedly. Think they were just outmatched in the fowards and ippy backs took some advantage of poor defence down the middle, but the brilliance of the BBC backs just gave them the win.
For all concerned, it may be better if the series of posts above relating to allegations of foul play at the TSS game were deleted by the Mods as I fail to see they have added any genuine value to this thread.

Like all the BBC forwards on Saturday (apart from Gunther) Bronson--- looked complacent & over -confident

good summary.
BBC looked over-confident & lazy.Every time they got out to a big lead they took foot off the pedal.Forwars tackiling was poor,lineout again poor and backs looked like they were playing 7s rugby. How many tries did Conrad Quick "butcher" by not passing?.Numbers 10,and 4 for IGS were brilliant.
Speaking of BRILLIANT -did josh Bowen-Boyer get 3 or 4 tries.? I do know that at 24-10 Bowen had scored every BBC point!.He will be missed by all GPS rugby followeres -what an exciting ball runner.Why is QRU letting him go to Broncos??
Speaking to Tom Barker afterwards he said the first try by Josh was up there with anything he had seen from any schoolboy-Flately,Q Cooper,K Hunt ,Pocock-etc.Even the IGS coaches were applauding.Someone put it on U-Tube.He caught a kick in his own 22 swereved past 3 defenders without a finger laid on him-kicked over fullbacks head-jumped up over IGS fullback and caught the ball in one hand mid-air(aussie rules style) and raced away to score balancing the ball in one hand..An IGS parent said they knew not to kick to him but were powerless to stop it.
BBC will not get near TSS playing like that.I guess it depends which BBC turns up.The team that beat ACGS or the bumbling mob that lost to GT.
footnote-that BBC 15A team is shit-hot .I think Phil White and David Williams (former Red) have them playing a more structured game than the 1sts.If the QRU does not snap up Syd Smith (Aust 15 league captain) they are fools because the Broncos watched him on Saturday/.
Good summary, BBC backs can really let loose, but they did lack in the scrums and missing some solid defense in middle compared to previous weeks, ie not bringing down Ippy's big forwards.

Boyer was outstanding and scored plenty.
Quick may have backed himself on a few times & the result was not perfect every time.
Defence wise i saw the bbc 9 save 3 certain tries one was in george gregan fashion..Ippy no8 went the blind side thinking he could run over the bbc 9 only to be meet very low and rolled on his back over the side line...looked like Steve Irwin on the back of a 4m salty the size difference was that big between the two of them.
