in previous years the Aranmore side would have thumped 90% of public schools and it would ahve been a semi close match against the psa's tops school.... theres used to be a Public V Private school rep game that was played as a warm up match to the test rugby in perth. This was canned cause the private school principles didnt like to see there students getting smashed !
Didn't mean to throw the cat amongst the pigeons there. Agree that the current crop of Aranmore 1st Xvers would probably struggle against Hale, but would still happily towel the other PSA teams.
The fact there aren't any in the State Schoolboys really doesn't hold much water given that none actually registered to trial this year. A few rocked up but didnt get much game time.
Having said that however, the boys in the final 23 is still the best 23 at the schoolboy level in WA and I wouldn't swap any of them for an Aranmore player (well maybe that Zac Holmes and his dodgy shoulder :-) )
Haven't seen their Year 10s and 8s play yet (July - September), but their Year 9s are going very well.
They have great depth and offer rugby scholarships, but then again Barra's probably gotta a bit of coin so fees shoudln't be an issue!
Come the revolution, the backs will be the first to be lined up against the wall and shot for living parasitically off the work of others....
Last time they had that private vs public i think was the Boks vs Wallabies in 05 and Hale was playing JTC and Hale won.
gotheforce how do you know so much the Hale 1st XV? Are you in the PSA competition yourself?
Agreed Zacko!
Every forwards dream is to become a back...
I've already left school some time ago. I'm in the coaching group, Shaun. I've been coaching different schools, both PSA and CSC, for the past 3 years. And thus, i know the some of the teams, players and the other coaches as well.
And I also watch Hale play quite often enough to know how the team plays. I've got to say i think your fullback, Dane, is a quality player, & could prob go the distance.
Yeah Dane is a really good player. What do you think of Rory #13 if he just built himslef up a little bit he could go far.

You've gotta love a GPS thread.
Where are these precious petals in rugby WA pro ranks?
Controversy corner
U r to right i halian now and the first beat trinity 120-0
I believe you to be 100% (if not more) correct in your assertion. I now attend Hale School and our 1st XV defeated Trinity College, the score being 120 points to nil.
This is, of course, full of factual inaccuracies and should be disregarded as some sort of "sabre rattling".
The best thing to grow Rugby in WA Schools is to send all the best to Hale for PSA and to Aranmore for CSC . Here the boys all learn to win by 100 plus, reckon they're top dogs and waiting for the call from Robbie of Vern - Then they leave School and "Oh Dear" they don't getthat call and what's more the prick of a head coach has not given them captaincy of Premier Grade - In fact they have to play with Under 18's or even under 20's... OMG, they are shattered, Mum and Dad too - They never learnt a darn thing did they??
If I were president of Nedlands and had to put up with that, after all I'd done for them, I'd withdraw all logistic and coaching support from the public schools and refuse to allow their kids to play for Neddies.
That would learn the whining, wingeing ungrateful sods.
So why do you supply them with all that support if they're nothing but trouble?
