The best XV of players from any school

I was trying to find the post that had the Marist Canberra best possible XV but this one will do as its similar (ish) . couple of replacements I would make out of this would be Marco Caputo in for Saia Faingaa. Yes Saia is a current wallaby and has a bright future ahead of him, Marco Caputo is a far more accomplished hooker (from a career point of view) from the Kookaburra's/Brumbies golden era - he went to Daramalan. He had one P. Kearns ahead of him keeping him out of a permanent spot in the Aus team.

Also - Josh Birch (ex Marist/Brumbies player from the late 90's - played centre at school and wing for the Aus junior rep teams and for the brumbies) - I would replace either winger you have mentioned, probably only Lewis Holland as I haven't actually heard of him! Dean Zammit would have to get a mention too , ex Marist/vikings prop, cult figure in ACT rugby who has international caps for Malta of all countries!

As you can probably tell my picks are from the 90's mainly. My era in schoolboy rugby was the mid nineties. I played in the ASC and ISA comps in my senior years (thus my user name) .

What about Stephen Larkham (Lyneham High) and George Gregan (St Edmunds) for an ACT team?

Was the sarcasm not apparent?

That Nudgee team would beat all comers - it would not be the worst team ever to play for the Wallabies

Its a good side that can leave out Darren Junnee, both Jorgensons (Michael in particular, even if they did come from newington) and both Kellehers.

Just read the part saying- "Judged on how they played as senior players".. i stand self corrected

Chris Roche also went to BSHS going on same Aust Schoolboys tour as Wally Lewis and Ella brothers

This was 1982 - came with Flemons - not centenary though. Brook also won 84 85 94.

Also Ricky Stuart from Eddies

Ya I would include those two - but are we splitting hairs and saying they must be playing today?

Both valid points, however if you look again, the team quoted was a Current ACT XV. Larkham, Gregan, Stuart and Caputo would obviously be in an all time XV.

Easy to say RR, while compiling that Nudgee team I had a little glimpse at the would be GT line-up and wasn't too impressed. By all means have a go but I think in terms of QLD GPS it would go;

Nudgee, Brisbane State High, Terrace, Churchie, TSS, Toowoomba, Brisbane Grammar School, Brisbane Boys College, Ipswich

Ah ok - i thought we were talking all time judging on the other teams posted - overlooked the word "current" in your team. Plus i was probably more referring to the earlier team someone posted, I just happened to click reply on your quote rather than the one earlier.

You could probably add Jordy Reid somewhere in that list. Interesting to note that in his final year of school he was originally in the 3rd XV, but worked his way up throughout the year.
