After the failed (Covid) Rep seasons of 2020 and 2021, we are excitedly looking forward to a return to our traditional Representative Programs in 2022.
The Boys pathways can be found at https://www.nswjuniors.com.au/post/2022-nsw-boys-rep-rugby-roadmaps
To guide the teams through this program we have a number of returning coaches - whom still obviously have some unfinished business. And a couple of new faces who are fresh to the scene.
Selected immediately after Gen Blue, the NSW Juniors XV is our premier side which will contest at the ASRU Carnival.
Ben Rutherford (current 2nd Grade Head Coach at Randwick) will again take the reigns with Scott Hatch (Illawarra, NSW Country and NSW Barbarians) & Graham Stokes (current 2nd Grade Head Coach at Hunters Hill) as his assistant coaches. Ben Kooyman (NSW Juniors & Knox Old Boys) will manage the team.
This teams is selected only from players that competed at the NSW Junior State Champs & didn't make any higher Rep teams. Will contest some feature games against NSW Country U19 and Subbies.
Gary Tunks (Two Blues & Barbarians specialist) will guide this team alongside Ben Molloy (Norths 1st Colts & Catch'n'Pass Head Coach) & Michael West. Johnathan Wallis will manage the team.
This team is selected from the State Champs and will compete at the regionals. Selected from boys that missed NSW Country or either of the SJRU teams.
Maybe it should be renamed the Ex-Presidents XV, with former NSWJRU President & SJRU GM Ben Gregory as Head Coach, supported by Michael Nicoletti (West Harbour), James Wivell (Oysters Rugby & Northern Suburbs) and Edward Gregory (Hunters Hill).
