THIS IS A GREAT SERIES ALREADY

Great episode again. Still question how much the game would progress when there is even a touch of investment and care around players in the state system.

i think the current England team has a 55/45 private to state school player origin. so it is alot more even than it was before. I would love to see more State school players. working class heroes.

@@NSYresearchwon’t happen, it’s already controlled by private schools, it’s the same in Ireland and then when public school players are good they get scouted into pro teams and then can’t compete in school games. Happened to me in Dublin. Cause you can’t play cup games for Leinster then play for schools team which is a joke. (U20)

@@cabraonropes5622 OK.. kind of odd that we have a few lads who were at pro academies who played for school... a couple of them in this series . But I get your frustration.

Our grammar school played Millfield at U14 and drew, we beat Bryanston at U14 and U16. We couldn't touch either at U19. Bryanston did offer our scrumhalf a scholarship for the sixth form! Money talks, and wins.

Brilliant mini-series this!

Strongest rugby school, surely that is Oakham school, they are reigning Uk school U18 champions after beating Trinity at Twickernam

Enjoying every minute

Love the series

I’m quite surprised they rescinded the red card. Would’ve been a good lesson to all the boys. Maybe it was a silly rule to have a red card carry through the rest of the competition. Now nothing has been achieved. Better to give him a one match ban, and then review the footage and give the tip-tackler a red as well. They’re school boys - they should learn the lesson that retaliation is not acceptable.

Even though I commented above about it being sour grapes that the card was reminded because it was Millfield. I agree the player should have had a ban, one match would be good. And knowing the lad involved he would have been very understanding of the punishment.

It wasn't rescinded until that night so could have missed the last game of the group stages. I suspect they also used the team footage we saw to show he didn't throw a punch, but rather lots of pushing following the tip tackle. If no punch is seen then the game ban was sufficient and the right call.

great series on a great school

How can a punch in the face be overturned? 😂😂 Joke

Mallard is dull af. One thing this team lacks is real characters that you would see in a state school, not many of this bunch stand out (aside from the dancer guy).

I don’t think you’ll gain an accurate perception of these boys characters from this documentary. The fact that they don’t go to a state school also doesn’t make them dull.

Sour grapes again... what makes you think Millfield have any more influence than say Sedburgh.... ?

You know what I don’t understand is that you are essentially giving more and more attention to these high fees private schools who are already very well known instead of looking at maybe a public school which would be a better story

Yea, yawn. Rugby needs to use it's platforms to push awareness away from elitism.. Obviously a £10k a year school has a good sports program.. The state school that is over performing on the pitch would be a much better story..

@@Makethemostofit1I went to a state school and in youth and younger rugby we would compete with the private schools, and I remember once playing blackrock and they played their second XV to end up loosing like 20-0 half time and bringing first team players in to play the second 😂 of which they still lost like 32-10 and then after getting to older years the difference between public and private shows. In a public school we would train but not every-time would the full team show up plus we all played club rugby some even for Leinster so I got banned and a few others from playing in schools rugby which is a joke.

Very surprised Millfield took part in this, school comes across with a lack of humility and is tone deaf to it's privilege at a time when independent schools are under such scrutiny. Reinforces many negative stereotypes of rugby, independent schools and Millfield itself.

What cost of living crisis?
