King, that just goes to show the strength of this comp over the years.
There really does need to be a National Schools Final to be televised on Fox. Top Brisbane GPS Team Vs Top Sydney GPS Team.
Surely the cattle coming from both comps over the years mean that could be a viable initiative.
Get a couple of European Car Brands to sponsor it and have an expensive sports jacket with leather arm patches given away to the most vigorous supporter on the day. Done!

Thanks for the scores Taipan.
I think St Kents (NZ) thumped a Nudgee College team by 50 points with Magnay, Mafi and Tuttle in it a couple of years ago in the semi-final - so the BBC lads will have their work cut out.
But you never know...Go Bris Vegas!

BBC is through to the final of the Sanix World Rugby Youth Tournament, following a resounding 34-8 win over Scots College New Zealand. They will be facing off against Paul Roos Gymnasium from South Africa in the Final.

Given that the ARU has a 1,000+ reasons to be grateful to GPS rugby in NSW and QLD for producing a vast number of its players, it's simply laughable how little they do to build on it and promote it. And the standard of rugby is remarkably high for 16-18 yr olds. The folllowing from the schools and parents is pure rugby passion, mostly of the best kind.

wow . what a massive upset .
Scots were not only NZ schools champs but had 3 Nz schoolboys including sons of Tana Umunga x 2 plus John Schusters boy . go Aussie rugby
And I hear they did it without star 10 and 2nd year 1st xv player Sonson Raroren . Is BBC finally getting some depth ??
I hear they are the walking wounded at the moment with the 13 out as well . If they get within 20 of South African boys it will be s good effort as many of them are in the Sharks academy .

It was their 1st game of the tournament against probably the strongest Japanese school in the comp. The BBC team looks big and strong though a little rusty and maybe not as match fit (or big and strong) as the SA team at that same point in time.
Also strange referring and opposition team tactics but the BBC team seem well drilled on the laws of the game and very professional in their post game practice (not surprising as the Aussie schoolboy coach is the team coach)
I would still put the house on Paul Roos for the final by 30, but would really love to proved wrong yet again.
Win or lose against Paul Roos, I don't think this makes BBC a shoe-in for the QLD gps title at all (every school will be lining up to beat them and most schools on their day could)
Despite the weakness of the national side, I think the QLD and NSW GPS schoolboy competition is right up there with the best schoolboy rugby in the world.
The English have their semi pro academy schools..and look how that has turned out at Sanix
The South Africans and the Kiwis have a system where rugby is the number 1 sport and they send their national champion from the previous year.
We don't.
Go BBC!
Two teams step onto the field, one wins and one looses.
Play your hearts out and walk tall at the end.
Green, white, black....proud no matter what

Yep, I just watched their youtube highlights of one of their games - huge indeed. I would imagine their average age would be higher than our Qld schoolboys because they definitely look like older as well. Oh well, good challenge for BBC, they've done exceptionally well to make the final and I would expect they would be going into the final game to win. So good luck boys!!
