Who here plays?

Has this sort of thread been done before?

But if you do play, what school\team do you play for?

Many years ago now Mal, actually only 4 years ago. Played in the GPS comp in Brisbane but went to TSS.

Ahh another TSS boy!!

I went to TSS many many moons ago, in the same era as Mat Rogers and Nathan Grey.

Ahh the memories

My kids play for Marist Ashgrove, origin of John Eales and Daniel Heenan.

I played in the the CAS in Sydney, Morgan Turunui and Adam Freier were only a few years ahead of me, and Owen Finegan is a product of my old school as well.

Are they private or public schools ? Just curios if all RU players that play in Aus do come from a private or public school which is the impression I am given from posters on this site.

Yeah the big schoolboy comps are mainly private schools.

What competitions are those schools from? I'm only aware of GPS, CAS, ISA and CHS.. these associations normally play each other in trial games before the actual comp starts.

Timbo - We use to have a regular fixture with Waverly back when I was in year 7, think they got cancelled when all our teams lost by 50+ points :lol: I play at the school, "with the best grounds in Sydney."

Mine was CAS and we were usually champs.

Our pre-season games were against the GPS boys though.....We'd get slaughtered by Joeys and Kings then beat the stuffing out of High, Scots and Grammar

And what's this school with the great grounds Mal?

In QLD there are the GPS, AIC and TAS comps (in order of standard), but also there are some small state school comps.

Oh the order of standard in Sydney goes:

1-GPS
2-CAS
3-ISA
4-CHS
