NSW full of confidence heading into Australian Schools Championships
NSW I coach Lachlan White says his side hasn't spent any time talking about last year’s disappointing result at the Australian Schools Championships, ahead of next week’s tournament.
The NSW side started the 2017 tournament as favourites but were stunned by QLD II on the Thursday afternoon which relegated them to the third and fourth placed playoff. They then lost to QLD I on the final day of the tournament and finished fourth overall.
“It’s new year, we’ve got new players and we’ll be taking a new approach,” White told Rugby News.
“From a personal perspective, I’ve reviewed and learnt from our experiences last year and in doing so we’ve changed a number of things leading into this campaign, but we won’t be talking to the boys much about 2017.
“Dean Hargraves was also with us in 2017 but he’s coaching NSW II this year, so we were forced to change our systems and the way we play anyway to prepare for a potential match against them.”
White said
