My mummy said I shouldnt meet strangers of the internet.

Very few schools buy kits. They play in their PE tops so they wash them themselves. Much easier and ensures they fit!!

My school plays both as many many do. Not seen any scrum machines IIRC at any state comps in the last 6 years Ive been teaching.

Its not cost at all that determines what schools play. Its either tradition of the school, especially for the grammar schools or old grammar schools or it is the preference of the PE staff in the department.

Both the RFU and the RFL run their competitions for free unlike the FA who charge for comps entered. Doesnt hamper schools football - though the behaviour of footballers in general is damaging schools football massively

Chubbs you've got as much chance of seeing him at the game as Iolo.

could that be something to do with him not actually being a scorpions fan?

Surely not!!

We used to use the second XV for mauling practice


League is a better option for schools due to the scrum.......ie, insurance on kids packing down can't be cheap. I am sure there was a story a few years back about Harrow School looking at switching codes due to the whole neck injury thing.....
