Wallabies (Including Overseas Players)

Brock James is from Adelaide. He moved to Sydney to get a start as there was no high level rugby in Adelaide.
He is certainly not from NSW.

Thought he went to school at Scots in Sydney.

The statements are not mutually exclusive.

He was selected for Australian U16s while at school in Adelaide, then got a sports scholarship to Scots.

I see James Hildenbrand is now another from the rugby nursery that is Adelaide who has managed to obtain a professional rugby contract.

I'm pretty sure he then went back to Adelaide and played seniors, then played for Uni in Sydney.

Both states clearly have a stake.

Brock James definitely came over to Sydney for a short time when he was about 13. I played a couple of club games with him at Easts around that time.

Maybe he was just checking out Sydney (or maybe it was while he was being wooed by Scots) because he only seemed to be around for a couple of weeks.

Obviously enough to be considered a South Australian success story. You learn something every day.
