- Warm winter sun greets the Millfield First XV as they arrive at Wellington College to kick off their Schools Championship campaign. Despite a rocky start to their 2022 season, Rugby Director John Mallett prepares the team for the upcoming St Joseph's National Schools Festival as the team looks to defend its title from the previous year. Returning First XVer Ioan Emanuel warns the youthful squad of the pitfalls of the two day tournament, while school life continues for the students, as academics and sport blend seamlessly into a busy Millfield Term. #TheSeason10 #Millfield

Go to a couple of urban school in London and make a rugby team out of a bunch of inner city kids,now that would be worth watching.
It’s always London, give somewhere else the spotlight for once
@@Tom-ms7epwhat fucking Liverpool?
@@Tom-ms7epLondon has a large population of athletes that’s why all our best sprinters come from there now hush
I went to school in a London suburb only a few stops away from Stratford and there was 5 rugby clubs in a small radius but we had no rugby in School.
Half the kids at Millfiled and the like are from inner city estates. - the schools get the fastest biggest kids and out them on scholarships. Schoolboy rugby is now an arms race.
Just over 10k a term as well. Absolute bargain. It's a game for everyone! 😂
seeing this just reminds me of the class and north/south divide in English rugby... Everyone who has addressed it is just swept up Only redeeming factor is Sale's great season under the local Sanderson
Well, why do you reckon rugby league became a thing in the first place?
@@willch.2259 I agree, rugby league was a direct result of classism in rugby resulting in a schism, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be built up again, expanding it by making more opportunities for schools and teams to play to broaden the audience is the way to go, but the RFU just doesn’t seem interested in that
sedbergh would probably beg to differ
Sedbergh exists
a school from Yorkshire in the north of england has reached the final of the schools cup the 3rd most times,
The St Joseph's Nation schools
Wakefield Reached the final in 2017
Newcastle won in 2018
The big issue for north south divide is rugby league, the VAST majority of Rugby league national competitions are won by Yorkshire teams
just seems like a big advert to go to millfield
Assuming daddy has a spare £50k a year
@@neill392just an actual question are those rugby boys paying that or are some of them on a scholarship type system
@@JD-tp8uq some of them will be for sure. Millfield don't play in the national cup because they have rules about how many players on scholarships you can have in the squad
Then it’s done what it was suppose to do
@@JD-tp8uq they have a massive scholarship programme now, one of the reasons fees are so high
Need to follow some of the SA 🇿🇦 schools
When’s the next one looking forward to the rest and can’t wait
very specific, great
The facilities here are better than any club I've ever played at. Unreal
Great episode as per. Always the same though, far too much insight into the private school demographic, why isn’t there a drive to shed light on the other 93% of general population that attended state schools.
Our free half term camps for state educated children are a small statement to drive change ⚡️
I agree, a series demonstrating the struggle faced by state schools, in gathering adequate budget to put on a programme at all, and how limiting factors such as poor facilities, equipment, multi sport coaches, low socio economic status of students and their families, effect running such a programme.
As a South African I am surprised at the lack of spectators. Here The two top schools playing each other will be watched by 30 thousand people and of course both schools doing their school chant.
We have international schools tournaments in SA, would be nice to these 2 top schools come play. We have had a number of English schools out in recent years together with NZ schools and U18 teams from Italy and Argentina (they don’t have schools rugby so they selected a team from clubs to play our schools)
I think our school boys are bigger than these guys. We eat a lot of meat.
Football is the main sport here
Yes Schools rugby SA is a notch up at top level...
Unfortunately in the UK professional Cricket and rugby players are always from private schools as most normal students dont get the opportunity to play rugby or cricket for enough time to become excellent at it
You guys could go to Rosslyn park
School rugby in Britain doesn't attract anywhere near the intrest that South African schools attract.
Most school games will attract a few parents perhaps and some pupils . Even the larger tournaments are not well attended.
Rugby isn't a big sport in the UK and that's reflected in how few schools play it.
I don't know about how big school boys are. Although I did notice that Baby Boks in the U20 rwc were not noticeable larger. Mind you compared to the French side most teams looked small.
I do not understand Europe's lack of interest in College athletics.
I've seen larger crowds watching college rugby here in the states where most of the student body doesn't even know they have a rugby team.
Support your lads and girls.
firstly millfield is the equivalent of a us high school. but to answer your main question, many of the BUCS (the british ncaa) uni rugby teams pull decent attendances. overall though you're not wrong about the importance of us collegiate sports vs europe
There isn't a draft or age limit we use academy systems unlike in America and this is highschool not college not hard to understand
@@TejuLayiwola9 You ever see the crowds attending High School sports here?
Didn't think so.
considering this is a 30,000 a year private school id ont think most the uk could give 2 fucks about going see them tbh.
its because of the proximity to and the availability of professional teams in the UK compared to the US where for many the highest level of regular sport is college level so they sort of take that place
It`s sad that money has infiltrated sport and junior level. I reckon if you took a poll of all professional rugby players from the home Nations, 80% plus would have gone through fee paying schools. The exception would be in Wales as it`s a working class sport here but a fair few of our boys with affluent families go over the boarder to these schools/colleges. As a 16 year old promising and talented player from a working class family, you have to go out and earn a living at 16 and 17. If your parents are worth a few quid, there isn`t that pressure. Just look at the Irish/Leinster/Dublin system.
😃😃😂mind blown rn
Many future chaps who work in the city ya.
As an American that played rugby in college in the late 90s/2000s I love this -- BUT -- how easy would it be to recruit with these facilities? We literally did sweeps of our pitch pre game to get glass/batteries/random stuff off of the pitch. Moderately jealous.
The parents pay £10k a term to send their children there, you'd better hope there's no glass on the pitch. And these are schools not universities.
Should do hartpury ace
Loves
So far, what I am hearing from the coaches speaking to the players is "Get up for the game, etc etc, Morale angle." "Spartans, what is your profession?"
That morale boost can work for players who are fully trained, and they just need to be encouraged. There is no way any of those teenagers believe they are better now than they would be when they are 30. Instead of getting the boys a morale boost, I would give them an intelligence boost.
I would say to the boys "When you are out on the paddock, before kick-off, what is important to you?"
You don't want to embarrass yourself?
You don't want to let down your mates?
You don't want to let down the coaching staff?
Let's be real, you are boys, and you have to learn.
Instead of trying to be the best now, let's all agree that you are learning, and let's play a style of rugby where you can learn.
The most fun I ever had is when I was trying out new moves.
Obviously if everyone plays risky, then we may lose games we should win, so my job as a coach is to find a way to let ppl try new moves in a structure that still wins the game.
Who tf wants to get up in the morning and come play for me boys!?
"On 3 say FK YEAH! 1 2 3..."
"Hands in the middle, ALL OF YOU! on 3 say FK YEAH! 1 2 3..."
(Don't stifle the boys with boundaries, open them up to the idea that they are allowed to learn.
It is your job as a coach to see who breaks what boundaries and put them in a position where they can do that and still help to win the game.
Coaches' jobs are dependent on the results, so coaches are inclined to rev the boys up to win just 1 more game, but that is not how you create winning men out of boys.)
The coaches' job should be hard. If your coach is not doing their job for the team, then I want to inspire the players to do the job for themselves.
loved the episode, although, watching this i couldn't help but feel like it was produced exactly the same as "Last chance U" but worse.
because they’re not Netflix to be fair, not the same funds
@@boshman2978 true, and its a shame tbh.
All of them are like this tbh
@@orz1325 i ain't even watched those, but it makes sense ig
American football is not even in the same conversation as rugby /rugby league .. lol No pads , no helmets , body to body contact .. that's a real man's contact sport 😂
When is the next one
Grey College next
Most rugby union top pros are northern?
Sedbergh is the leading English rugby school
When is The Season coming to South Africa
I thought they already did a season in South Africa?
Rugby pass has been trying to do one in sa but i think its up 2 the schools
Would like to see how any of these schools handle a irish school in Leinster
Blackrock a nothing above ....best Sedbergh the best UK schools easily in England a fortnight ago
Episode 2?????
Oakham school are the reigning Uk U18 school champions after beating Trinity at Twickernam,. So surely they are the the best rugby school
Few top teams in that competition.
Do grey college
We need more working class kids’ teams and not just in posh schools like this one.
We need South Africa!!
Do a following of Grey College South Africa
Grey college
Can we follow an SA school next? Or have i missed it
they did it
There is no power there though so how would they be able to film it?
@@josh9143 🤣
🤣🤣@@josh9143
How old are they?
16-18 years old
Hartpury next up 🙏
Grey college of SA will give them 50 points
love rugby but it’s makes it so hard to support England when you remember they are all toffs
‘Millfield is diverse’ hmm, got nothing against private schools as long as the kids realise how privileged they are, at the end of the day without money a lot of these things/opportunities wouldn’t be there, who’s going to pay for the top class facilities/coaches wages/videographer etc? State schools have to budget more because they have less money, and they are free to attend. However, don’t start talking rubbish about being diverse, this is a very select group of kids from the social and economic elite, no matter what nationality they are from, I would argue two rich people from different countries would have more in common than a poor and a rich person from the same country
Wakeling. Look up the various meanings of diverse.
Is diversity a good thing?
Hahaha the posh boy accent future Tory’s no doubt
All these posh schools producing ??? Wigan comprehnsives produced Shaun Edwards,Andy Farrell and Owen Farrell plus many others.Never played RU.Draught players showing chess players how to play chess?????
To be honest Keith, the 'posh' schools do produce an array of talent, but there simply needs to be a bigger focus on the state system.
I thought owen Farrell went to St Paul’s?
Privilege RFC, Nepo kids.
I really hate the moaning about class in the comments, there's nothing stopping someone from a poorer background getting down to their local team! Rugby is not a ringfenced sport.
people are just jealous. its really that simple
A private school which costs 15k a term talking about diversity is a joke.
Why is that
Our 2nd team were one try off beating millfield first 💀
And you are…?
why u lying 🤣
But sedbergh are better
Its not about better, its about being there
Nothing new here,same old stuff .
Mallet is pretty uninspiring tbh.
A good leader isn’t always one that’s shouting and screaming all the time mate
This aint american football...lolzz
@@jr1734 what do you mean by his communication isn’t impressive
so many jealous people in these comments. I didn't go to a private school but my daughter is - my advice is rather than moaning on you tube - go and work hard so you can provide for your family. its really that simple
Because 50k per year on school is something you can earn without moaning
they lost to grey U16 team
Get a grip mate
@@Jeffisawesome536 it's true "mate"
No they didn't, millfield never played grey at the wsf. That was trinity
@@willstinton3255 Did trinity play Millfield ?
@@willstinton3255 well in any case Grey U16 made the finals trinity and millfield didn't
Who and WHAT is that?
Do grey college
