Yes I saw the u18s Aussie team and only a couple of Qlders are in there. It's literally a scandal how this bias holds back Australian rugby from progressing. It's essentially the NSW team with some support from the other states. Always has been. Shocking that it continues until today. Yes the...
What will be interesting will be the World Schools Cup with both Nudgee and Barker being short listed to represent Australia. I personally think Barker should get the nod even though they are not as well known internationally as Nudgee but it will present a great opportunity for Barker to gain...
Yes, it's what I heard. The size difference was significant with that extra year to grow. They were the top team in Australia.
Once the u18s came in on the weekend though for the Qld schools team, Qld beat the NSW school boys with that size/age differential removed.
Yes they name all the national competitions after themselves with no self awareness that this is a national rugby union and not a Sydney rugby union but it is great when we are on level playing field, whether its League or Union, whether its school boy or open teams, and we own them on the...
Good to see the Qld u18 Academy teams beating NSW, Victoria.
With Qld being able to benefit by bringing in people who finished year 12 the previous year due to the age imbalance between Qld and NSW it evens up the imbalance we see when it is a top NSW grade 12 school team v a top Qld grade 12...
It looked like a great day on Ross Oval with close to full grand stand, which I guess is one of the reasons Nudgee were the school chosen in the NSW locally hero named cup, the Manu Sutherland Cup (like the Ella Cup in the England Wallaby match). I wonder if Queensland rugby will ever get a...
The Church school will destroy the State School, and therefore in the bank atm are Nudgee and Churchie.
Ipswich might give TSS a scare so this match might be an interesting one to watch as Ipswich have caused TSS a lot of trouble the last few years, so it will be a nervous one for TSS.
I'm...
BBC v BGS - Grammar to school BBC
IGS v TSS - A tight one but should be a TSS victory albeit Ippy have some recent history with TSS as being giant killers
BSHS v ACGS - A great day for Churchie. A shame it's not at their home ground for their OBs to celebrate
TGS v GT - The boys from the...
So it will be almost certainly a 3 way tie for the Premiership this year. Well done to Churchie and TSS for putting themselves into the position to join Nudgee as Premiers. I think probably Churchie have been the team of the season with that win against Nudgee in the second round.
Barker...
I hope your are right RedOrDead and no offence meant. I just thought with the season over when they play, they might blood some younger players or give some other players an opportunity to pull on the 1st XV jersey.
It will be great to see these two schools play against each other at full or...
Nudgee played Kings from Sydney this year in the under 15s and made a pretty easy meal of them.
Nudgee will wheel out their 2nds and 3rd and some under 16s. The open teams are a year younger in Brisbane i.e. 17 year olds in grade 12 v 18 year olds in grade 12 in Sydney. When Nudgee won the...
IGS v NC - The humble Ashes urn rests in the Lords Cricket Ground Member's Pavilion regardless of who wins, but the Qld GPS Rugby Premiership silverware will go home to rest for another season in the Rugby Museum in the magnificent old Ambrose Treacy boarding house overlooking Ross Oval at...
A big Saturday next weekend for Nudgee who will win the Premiership if they beat Ipswich away from Ross, so an exciting day for them at Ipswich. The following weekend will be a chance for both TSS and Churchie to join them as Premiers so a couple of exciting weekends coming up if Nudgee do in...
Yes well done to Terrace for hosting what looked like an outstanding day of rugby. I was off regarding Tennyson not being a great venue for the 1st XV. They positioned Nudgee in a large temporary stand to square off against the sideline and I noticed that the main stand is also squared off...
