Brayden Law (#20) in Qld 2 doesn't play in the GPS comp and in QLD that means it is very very difficult to get picked in the QLD team. But this boy scored 9 tries (yes 9) in the last two First XV games for Marist College Ashgrove's undefeated premiership team. So he should have been on the...

Ash defeated Villa 9As by 19-14. Congrats to both teams for an epic game

71-7 to Ashgrove at Villanova Park

That's the funniest thing I've read today.

Villa result - wow! Sounds like Peters have a gulf to close and Villa are huge improvers. Anyone have a match report? HLF, you're right. Lamin should be on one of the wings in the firsts unless he wants to play fullback (where he played in the 16As?) because he has no chance of unseating the...

Trials today before competition starts next week. St. Pats v Eddies Villa v St Peters Ashgrove v Lauries Padua v Iona

Soccer used to be a niche sport. AFL too in some states. The fact is both have gone past Union since we won Bill in 99. Rugby hasn't run itself holistically on and off the field. Full of factions and agendas (that Soccer used to be plagued by until they removed the ethnicity from team names) and...

Yes, spot on Galloper. Ashgrove's early ball movement was very impressive. The #1 would be the most skilful schoolboy prop I've ever seen. Phenomenal. Like the majority of trials - a few positional experiments today - intensity was patchy - plenty of rotation - a few dropped balls particularly...

Well done to Padua on winning the Ballymore Cup. First round at Banyo should be a very competitive game if Padua are as fit and well drilled as claimed. Ashgrove will have a trial against Lauries at home the week before to gauge where they're at. Despite being written off by many, I still...

Yes, I believe both Ashgrove teams have had a good tour. Anyone know how Villa have done in NZ?

There's some general information on the NSW rugby site if you're interested. Says that JGC will run for 3 weeks 9th -30th Sept. I'm sure QLD rugby will do a similar summary on their site eventually.

Not sure which of my friends to quote.

Ok, let's go back. The club reference was to compare the ability of boys in the current u15 age group, last season being a relatively good reference. You said and I need to quote "It's a little different in the age group below because the best rugby kids are already at GPS schools....." The...

Okay, no bickering or snipes (leave that up to the Wesleys of the world) No argument with the relative strength of GPS comp. And no argument that a GPS laden under 20s did well against another GPS laden state on Saturday. Good on them and their coach. The big boys not so well v Lions with...

Not sure about Reds squads, but there is a great under 15 development squad at GPS Rugby this year and the U16-18 GPS Ashgrove Rugby academy is about to launch with an information night on Monday 6th at the club. Lots of AIC and GPS players across the board will participate. The under 15 boys...

I think that's the whole point of other posters from within the GPS fraternity. Boys do work hard only for their place to be taken by a Johnny Come Lately from RLA RLA land. One school apparently had 11 arrive in year 10 this year. In an earlier post, you told me to come off my high horse and...

There is an alternative. Where dreams in year 8 and 9 are still firmly in your sights in year 11 and 12 if you're good enough. It's called AIC. The squalor-ship system in GPS might be warped but it's not yet broken. Give it 2-3 years to see the real damage!

Cracka, don't forget the Grammar boys. They have GOt some very strong players that will GO all day. Throw a few of them into this team and you have GOt a very strong side. But will GPS boys even be allowed to play? Last year's very good 12 from BSHS went to this carnival and his 14A side...
