- While famously competitive, the Brisbane Boys College First XV rugby team has only achieved a single GPS title - a shared premiership in 1954 - and coupled with the rampantly passionate rugby culture at the school, its anticipation of an outright victory is feverish.
This award-winning series follows the BBC First XV throughout the 2019 season, experiencing the ebb and flow of the team’s fortunes, through the prism of high school sport. While concentrating specifically on the rugby program, the school’s vast co-curricular menu becomes a character in the story where each boy benefits holistically from all opportunities provided by the school. The First XV is motivated to secure that elusive premiership, however as the season evolves, it becomes obvious that greater life lessons will prove more valuable than any trophy or title.
In the first episode, the audience is taken to Round 6 of the Queensland GPS Rugby competition where the only two unbeaten teams in the premiership race come face to face in the effort to gain ascendancy over the other. In the confronting aftermath, we journey back to the foundation-building pre-season where the coaching staff have decided that mental fortitude should work hand in hand with physical development. And as the team prepares for 2019 kickoff against Churchie, the cameras look inside a traditional part of BBC’s match day experience.

Whenever I feel bad I remember at least I’m not the BBC kicker.
feelsbadman
bahahahahah
i agree
BBC kicker didn't loose that game. He shouldn't feel bad at all.
@@TimKellySportsHighlights except he definitely did hahahaha
this kicker was havin a rough day
Bruh in England we have like a medic coach and some kid named Darrens parent watching, I wish we could play with crowds like this 😕
Urmomguay Boi I think the crowd was only big for this game because it was a big game. It would probs be an average size if it was a normal game
Rugby is like our national sport here man..
@@arza0932 in Wales rugby is our national sport and we don't get crowds this big, we get like 30-50 odd for like an adult rugby club game in terms of like amateur rugby, like club rugby. Though for us in the UK mostly school boy sports and college sporfs aren't that big, and pretty much unless you go pro or playing a final for like a amateur or semi pro team you will only ever see crowds of like 30-50. I do think premiership (which is like the league under the pro 14 in Wales like that's wales's top league) you may have like 100 because of the quality of the club's and because most clubs that play premiership the reason they are so good is because everyone in the communities live and breathe rugby so it means most the youngsters from there end up playing for them or going pro so obviously the crowds will be bigger but crowds this big is mad, would love to see that at a game, the atmosphere must be unbelievable
James Lindemann oh, well yeah, probs why crowd was so big
James Lindemann well holy shit that’s massive, way bigger than NZ
The production quality on these videos is unreal, second to none
Yeah it's insane. I loved watching the NZ one and I like this one too. And I'm not even particularly into rugby!
These series are fantastic. My only criticism is having to wait a week for the next episode!! This is something I could binge-watch.
It is honestly not very big except in Brisbane. Most of them end up going to NRL as well because there are way more opportunities to a make a living from it. Kalyn Ponga a prime example of rugby talent gone to NRL.
Nah mate, big in sydney aswell, better schoolboy rugby here aswell
Ponga like most of the guys who get scholarships to play union in high school started off as a league player. Don’t complain when a league player ends up playing NRL, stop giving them scholarships
It’s more like the other way around right? Vunivalu, Radrada and Koroibete all started in Union and then went to league and back.
Wdym NRL , this is Union
Sad because most of them will go to NRL. Not leagues fault though. They have worked hard on their brand and driving revenue for their sport.
Non one cares about union in aus, thanks to fox sports
@@breadandbone7928 haha.. Spot on mate
Such a shame :/
doesn't help that in the race top the top last league/team standing competitions in the northern hemisphere don't give a crap about what is best for the global game.
NZ and the pacific islands are turning more toward Rugby League
League is better than union anyway
Awesome, such a successful rugby series...top notch production as usual, a quarantine treat
You need to Do SOUTH AFRICAN schoolboy Rugby or Even Varsity Cup Rugby
Maybe about Grey or Glenwood
Obnoxious safas stg
Will ask my local PED dealer to get some info on the boys
or Craven Week
That would be pretty epic
Rugby is a rich man's game in Australia. Most Public Schools do not compete at high levels here in Australia. Private schools have a monopoly on Rugby. Rugby League is a working class game. Played across all schools and local competitions. Rugby is for the Elites and it's suffered because of it
Very true
it's the same for every country tbh.
if Australia rugby is to succeed at the top in the world of rugby and to be as good as the New Zealand All Blacks on a consistant bases it needs to get out of this mind set at school boys high school level that rugby is played in private schools only where it can be played at all schools both public and private just like in league the best of both worlds and it can be played in the elites classes and the working classes rugby can be played by all classes of society no matter open to every one and look after club rugby as well and in the other states like Queensland NSW ACT Victoria South Australia Tasmania Northern Terratory Western Australia from, the grassroots up thats what Rugby Australia should be doing stop chasing after league and AFL and other sports codes and ratings Rugby Australia must invest in grassroots rugby from the lower ages to school boys and up to club levels focus on rugby itself get your house in order every thing else will follow
couldnt kick a drunk in the gutter
hahahaha fuck
U couldn’t do any better dick head
It's good to see so much young talented Rugby players in a school boys Rugby since Onion tv season 1 you can see all the culture School Boy rugby shows by having that bond and comradery in local footy, but one day most of the top of talented players will wind up in Europe or Japanese Rugby..
The reason NRL is kicking Super Rugbys ass is all about TV deals, i grew up watching both codes NRL(Arl, nswrl and Superleague) and Super Rugby(Super 12s,14s,15s), NRL was ok cause they showed delayed Friday night game and one Sunday footy match it was ok product but Super Rugby was the best it had all the best players starting in 1996 it still showed all games live on Fox Sports which meant live in pubs and etc so ppl could watch it @ home and pubs before NRL kicked off and then channel 9 started showing live games on free to air tv and that was the game changer, Super Rugby got left behind and the two reasons which is people stop getting Foxtel and 2nd All Blacks and Wallabies got selfish by stop letting best talents out of Pacific to play for their provincial sides rather telling them to play for them or else, and "else" came calling which was Japanese, French and British and Irish clubs, pacific islanders and 30yrs+ ex Wallabies and All Blacks made more money for European clubs and the game more popular there then it was and now Super Rugby is fielding club players who back in the days wouldn't get a call up to Super Rugby so now there is a big hole left by not just by older players which is 30yrs+ ex All Blacks or Wallabies but also now current players leaving for Europe and Japanese Rugby, Super Rugby has gone from A+ Product to now like a B Grade, lots of South Africans now play in Europe and Japan, it's not just hurting Super Rugby but the national team as well, South Africa made a big difference by choosing players from Europe and Japan for Springboks and look what they did won the 2019 World Cup, Wallabies does the same with 60cap+ players.... Make Super Great again, sell rights not just to pay tv but also free to air tv just like NRL does, let pacific islanders and other internationals play, 7 internationals maximum per team, you only gonna field 23 All Blacks and Wallabies so there 5 and 4 SR teams to fit them in plus have them okay and train with best internationals not with backup Club players, you can only be the best by playing against the best....
The sad sad greed of ARU and Bill Pulver killed not just Super Rugby in Australia but also Rugby Union as a whole. Look at the NRC, Club rugby and Uni levels. It's so sad the only decent comp left is Shuteshield and Qld Premier. Even Shuteshield is only limited to some North shore clubs.
Agree chand but the level NRL built to was because Afl was our rival we all know how selfish all blacks and wallabies are they killed the game for the Pacific islanders and shit there bed. People say league is money hungry mate Rugby Union only care about money lifestyle after parties and didn't know what the word junior development meant.
@@fatbadboy329 brother under 20s and rugby not taking it seriously is what killed union, the moment nrl started paying massive amounts for younger players it changed everything. Only recently has it leveled out again and shut shield get some massive crowds, it's good to watch down at rat park battle of the beaches and easts vs randwick
czcams.com/video/EAMiYpGiJtw/video.html
It’s massive people just look at Super Rugby and think Australia don’t like rugby but it’s thriving in the lower grades
Respect to the number 22!! Great sportsmanship. I love this sport. Saludos desde Paraguay, Asuncion.
Landed back to the UK from Brissy 2 weeks ago and miss it already. Why couldnt i have been quarantined there beautiful part of the world.
not for a black guy like me lool
@@chrisc4365what Chris? That is ludicrous mate. Brisbane is one of the most multicultural places in the world
These are put together so well! Say it everytime. Would love to see a doco on gps rugby in Sydney and follow the whole competition and get your break down of everything
anyone else have a giggle inside whenever they said "BBC"
No because I'm not a child
Favorite serie! I love all the work you put in your channel, hopefully it will one day blow up!
Highschool rugby amongst private schools is absolutely massive
Thank you for introducing Australian High school rugby (BBC) to your audience. It’s bit of like U.S. High school football game when school band playing at the game. In U.S rugby is growing in high school level too. Cheer’s for video during this quarantine time in Oklahoma and U.S
Hey Jay. Great to hear that Rugby is growing in the schools in the US! Is there a schools league? Which states play Rugby at High School level? And does it happen in the same season as Football?
@@2MileMen Hi Jacq, rugby in each state as own state championship. Like high school, each state divided into size of the population then end of the season best teams will play for state championship. All High school rugby’s funded by own H.S Club with a support of parents. Currently, I split my residency between Oklahoma and Pennsylvania. H.S rugby structure is the same in both states. All the coaching staff is volunteers.
In Club Rugby part of USA rugby, it has Division breakdown Level I to IV: Div I is one of the best and none of these players get paid for playing rugby. Unless you play USMLR.
@@JayGoonetilleke The California Golden Bears(Cal Bears) is my favourite rugby team in Varsity Cup and the San Diego Legion is my favourite team in Major League Rugby (USMLR).
@@C.K75 Cheers I like United Rugby NY
wow , makes me miss school so much
Auckland Grammar School across the ditch would be a great episode, especially if they followed the Grammar vs Kings rivalry
fuck both grammar and kings
No actually I think they need to do the 2 biggest schoolboy derby’s in the world AKA Paarl Boys vs Paarl Gim and Grey vs Paul Roos 30 000-35 000 spectators
@@rugby3653 I doubt that highly some all blacks games dont have that much spectators ur delusional
Joshua Ashford The Paarl derby is around 30 000+ spectators yearly. The Grey vs Paul Roos derby could be anything in the range of 15 000-25 000 depending on the year. Not to mention the millions back home watching on their TV. I have been to both and I was part of one of the derbies for 5 years.
This is so good! Could you do South African school boy rugby?
Joshua W what I also wish for
Personally I'd prefer they don't cover a SA First XV team because too many cynical and envious knobs like Canvas Bed above will ignore our skills and just say its steroids regardless of the boys' capabilities and even though guys like this don't even know the boys from a bar of soap and would rather just be slanderous towards them.
Funny all the Grey College 2019 boys with local and overses contracts got in no problems after being tested. France took about a dozen of our top boys from last year. Not single one failed - the SA schools team gets tested every year and is no different to any other nation.
I can foresee a weekly episode on Paarl or Grey will just be full of horrible finger pointing comments and will likely be somewhat unpleasant. I would rather we just get on with our business in SA without that negativity and slander - our kids don't need that.
They know what they are capable of and can get the job done without a TV program.
We have approached a couple and fingers crossed one of them agrees. We’ll keep you posted!
Nah don’t do South African school boy rugby, there all frauds pumped up on steroids unfortunately.
@@OnionTelevision Glenwoods unbeaten 2018 team.
You guys should really check out south African schoolboy rugby
10:10 he has blues jersey on in Queensland
I’m a blues fan
Go the chief's
Go the canes
Do a story on schools that don’t offer scholarships like BBC and TSS do. It’s sad what QLD GPS has become. They play “barge” rugby with their monsterous scholarship teams. It’s been going on for 20 years which has coincided with the slide of Queensland and Australian rugby union.
fair
Mate 10 years ago the thought of BBC offering a scholarship was laughable. TSS and Nudgee have been doing it since Jesus played full back for Jerusalem.
Welsh School Boy Rugby - the hype isn't there but the talent definitely is.
When they were crying after their loss, i wanted to hug all of them. Poor things
it's brisbane high school rugby for godsake, it's halarious
Hope to see y’all out competing at the worlds in 2021 guys!! Stick in and I’ll see you in the arena✨
Im fro from South Africa and I tell you what Australian schoolboy rugby is just as competitive as SA schoolboy rugby 🏉👏
Guarantee the NRL is in the background just waiting patiently, to snatch up their best performers and leave the crumbs for Union lol.
Chur good to this type of passion for rugby
Last Chance U-nion.....who needs Netflix
Kezlarr the intro killed me
good doco, i went new plymouth boys for a year, rugby was real big" n they were good. just cheers to those cant afford it" cos still can play local rugby n make it" not that i did haha cheers to ya all"
3:21 my guy went flying
the kicker definitely copped it after the game ahahha
Y'all should definitely come to Sri Lanka and see how school Rugby is in here
Geshan Pethiyagoda hahahahhaha
🤣🤣🤣mate
I've been, people who don't know wouldn't believe how big it is
Jomigo i cant lie i actually have a few mates who r sri lankan and r literally dedicated to the game💯
Yeah, I've seen it on youtube. Amazing how popular it is over there.
DO WELLINGTON COLLEGE
I think they did already mate
Bro I feel that and I won’t be able to wear my schools badge on rugby jersey for my last year😢
do one on south African varsity cup
Nah sa school rugby
It's tough. I remember winning the GPS in prep (Under 12s 1st XV) undefeated, having our Colours awards presented to us individually by David Campese, heading up to QLD on tour and winning and then losing the last game on tour (we went to WB Movieworld the day before..) to TSS. 5-0. Was hard to take. We got to the sheds and every one of us cried our eyes out... except for one. He became a 4 time Olympian and national team captain. p.s. Wasn't me!
i go to Brisbane State High School but ive gotta admit bbc is good!
Not as good as TSS
Thats the worst feeling ever to lose to someone you know who you can beat.
I loveee this series
Awesome efforts boys! You guys can play and are very fast. 👍
Come to kings college next season in New Zealand
Jackson Brown na Grammar
@@sebatmant2204 we thrashed grammar lmao.
YESSSSS FINALLY AN AUSSIE SCHOOLS VID
Sebastian Grob see Series 1 - we followed Nudgee College
@@OnionTelevision will do!
@@OnionTelevision Yes I saw that. Great job doing that.
"We could've wooooon" 🤣🤣🤣
Nice touch by their 22
You should come to Scotland I know we aren’t as big as some other countries but a few of the schools here have some really promising teams in the country who have beaten some of the top schools such as sedberugh etc
merchie are pretty good!!
Could you try and do Northampton School for Boys in England? 🏴
F A L L E N yeah maybe if they weren’t shit
Is that Gavin Henson in the thumbnail 😂 🏴
I went to BBC and must admit - the bagpipes made the 20+K AUD worth it
only 20+?
Imagine getting 'piped onto the field' from a BBC. Sounds dodgy to me
You should do it Ireland for the senior cup
whimps my old man would belt me if I cried after a game
That's pretty toxic mate not gonna lie.
I play both rugby codes and love both, the difference
Union - discipline both crowds and players
League - no discipline both crowds and players
The best performance by a schoolboys side apart from the other schoolboys side.
The difference is about 50 IQ points
dip stix whoever started the myth that you need to be intelligent to play union is a moron. It’s got lots of rules, that doesn’t make it “smarter” just worse to watch
There’s a reason coaches can be on the field during play in league because it’s very predictable unlike union
Not as bad as soccer where players are allowed to scream abuse at referees.
Would be good if you can do a school in Fiji. Schoolboy rugby is hugee here
They have schools in Fiji? Nice one!
@@randyschwaggins Yep, there's alot of schools here
Do one about south african school boy rugby ,do it with affies or grey college or parl roos
Bruh what the heck didn’t expect to cry...
Unfortunately this doesn't seem to really exist up in North Queensland. League was the only choice at my school and most of the other nearby schools were the same.
Needs to be something like this but for football
If your looking at the UK, you have to do Sedbergh School. It’s the brown and gold and then everyone else.
George Bailey we did approach them George but they weren’t interested.
OnionTelevision ah fair enough. That’s a shame
Unfortunately schoolboy rugby is limited to the elite in Australia, which is union's demise and what makes league thrive outside of the private school system and in the suburbs.
Rugby Australia would rather ignore the failings of their grassroots entry and invest in the top end, which has hurt them for almost a couple of decades now.
Tom West they give a lot of scholarships out, around 50% of the first 15 squad is generally imported
skorzo .::. Exactly! The only way to get in is with a scholarship, usually only offered 5-8 kids at each GPS school.
Just like Summer heights High.
Hope some day we have these crowds in Spain
Rugby is nothing in Aus . Private schools mainly play it. Crowds for national comp are so small .
Ye its all about league in Australia
Union is huge in tasmania queensland and new south wales but league is bigger in nsw than tasmania and queensland
Man i wish people in the US knew rugby existed lol
TSS is solid under pressure as always:)
Daniel Unjo yea use to sticking together through all the sexual assault and rape charges
Come to Sydney and do joeys rugby
Go to France and watch the top 14 or pro D2 youth academies. Seriously good rugby.
C300 or BM ursa? Production is incredible
Narrator makes it sound like a geographic channel
omg dad went to nudgee in the late 80s early 90s, and it's exactly the same
I hope nobody chipped a nail, that would've been game over.
BRUH THE COACHES HOUSE?
Should also check out the AIC comp
Rusty Bull haha nah, aic is shit
Should of interviewed the wining team hahah
Intro lookn like Last Chance U on Netflix 🤣💯
Your Dad nearly died of laughing
South African school boy rugby is the best in the world.... come to us
I play rugby but i don't cry when we lose
It’s cause that was to win the premiship
Please travel to South Africa , We have the best school boy rugby
what happened at the beginning? why did the other team win?
The scored more points?
Should've given the kicking duties to the prop
any1 else think the try at 0:52 was a knock on?
Why Howie....why!!!!!! hahahaaa
BBC cracked bro
Everyone blaming the BBC kicker (singular). I noticed 15 and 14 both missing shots.
I blame the dude that cried
@@farqueue They all cried?
Played southern sky’s at BBC years back we come from a small country town in New Zealand not even from top division school boy rugby and we beat BBC first XV twice and only lost to Takapuna grammar in the final (any other nz school) and BBC are a “prestigious” rugby school in Aus.
u want a medal?
Lmaoo you do know that wasn’t the 1xv right? We were off in England playing Sedbergh etc that was our 2xv
Love how i'm half Aussie and half Kiwi. o_O
You need to go to Glenwood High School, Durban, South Africa.
Imagine being the worse kicker in the league for the best team in the league. When my team played them they had a younge bloke who could hit a 5c in the air it was great to watch
club rugby is where its at
In Ireland we don't ever n have a team until fourth year and seven then you have to quit after thet but the club is strong
do ardscoil ris senior cup next in ireland
You guys should check out irish schoolboys rugby
Go to Ulster and do Methody College
Btw are any of you from Ulster and know about Methody, if so im 14 dont know much about first XV rugby so if you could tell me what schools are better id love to hear it
Zinb i’m from the rhondda in wales and we go on tour to ulster every year and beat them theres nothing to them mate, not sure about other schools but methody are not the best
@@jaclewis6376 .... did you read my edit? tbh armagh are probably better
The kicker was injured btw
Sam Stanley are you the kicker? Lol
Need to come to Scotland
Bro as if these kids are balling their eyes out in a round game lost🤣 show some resilience rich kid’s ahahah
Show some respect
that was the premiership game ...
M S If they won the game, they would’ve won the premiership which they haven’t since 1954. They’re not wimps, they actual show culture and respect for the school
