Out of interest Rich, who won 16As at Bellevue Hill yesterday?
Hopefully, they will reunite in the 1st XV for 2020.2020 will be significant year for both Newington and Kings, as it is the 150th anniversary of the first game of Schoolboy Rugby played in Australia, starting with these two schools. One would hope that both schools celebrate this event with some importance, together with Australian Rugby. Last time in 1970, I believe each team player was given a medallion.Two of those New boys playing 1sts and another one playing 2nds. Think how good the 16As would be if they were still in it.

Maybe a televised match would be an appriorate means of recognising the event. Particularly, if both schools are fielding strong 1st XVs based on their performances over last couple of years.

Wow .. I see Darcy Clifton didn't make the President's A team . I would hate to see how good the centres are that are better than him!
Agree. Hard to comprehend. That said, i think the Pres A 12 - Will Penisini from Kings, has played some 1st and 13 - Kaeo Weekes from New is definitely in their 1st. Check out Weekes try in steppa video above. Clifton is playing 2s at Scots.
.
darcy is only 15 this year, still plenty of time for him but i see him still getting a Nsw schools spot.
both Kaeo and Will are first class footballers both deserved there spot

One question . for the Newington supporters out there . how is that you guys start off so dominant in 13s and 14s . and then come the Opens things aren't the same
Take for example this year's Opens Cohort .. unless I am mistaken they were the team to beat in the 13s and 14s . what has changed? I think Wilson the star 10 has moved to Auggies . but other than that . I don't know the individuals other than Bell who was part of the strong 13A and 14As.
Is it a student retention issue , kids dropping out, or is the coaching the issue?
Joeys on the other hand . I thought they were weak in this cohort . yet 6 years on, and despite a few trial losses, they are a decent chance in 2018

Does anyone know how High went against TAS this weekend?

Not saying Kaeo and Will dont deserve their spots. They totally do. But its still hard to comprehend someone as good as Darcy making 2s. He would surely make 1s in most other years. Is a testament to quality of Kaeo and Will and evidence of great strength in GPS midfiled in this age group.
.
Will is good enough to play GPS1 opens , I’m sure when u read the match review of kings v Riverview this will back this comment up.
I would not hold your breath for a Kings Riverview report. Neither school has interested enough GnG followers to do a report, despite me asking on numerous occasions.
