Clearly facts are a moot point.
Interesting to note Kurtley Beale is out supporting & promoting Lloydies this week. Hopefully his input gives the boys a current example to aspire to and stay in union instead of switching to league like the majority seem to be doing.
Agreed. The fact of whether the schools in question really are "elite" or "better" was not the point I was trying to make. Nor did it have anything to do with whether a Rugby player's parents are rich or otherwise. I said Rugby is still, IMO anyway, demographically and elitist sport in that most players come from the schools you mentioned. I made the reference in the context of the percentage of Indigenous Australian potential champions who are not finding their way into the game and was thinking that the ARU could do better find programs to attract them
On a more positive note the Force might help add to that Wallaby potential if the latest Mungo scuttlebut is on the money. Dane Nielsen will probably be looking elswhere because another indigenous superstar is likely staying at the Storm
