St Joseph’s Nudgee College has been called the cradle of Queensland rugby, and the record backs it up. Founded in 1891, the Brisbane school has sent around 25 Old Boys on to play for the Wallabies and is a fixture at the top of the GPS competition, one of the strongest schoolboy contests anywhere. As a Queensland school it sits under the Queensland Rugby Union, and it is one of the sides that came on board as the union put Framesports in the hands of every club in the state.
“It’s helped us get better results while also helping cut down the time we spend on video analysis.”
Corey Braithwaite, First XV Coach, Nudgee College
The challenge: a First XV runs on coaches’ time
School rugby is built on people who already have full days. Video analysis is where the hours quietly disappear, scrubbing back through a match to find the moments that matter, then cutting them up for the team. The ambition is always the same: better results, without burning out the staff who make it happen.
How Framesports helped
- Faster match analysis. We take the slow part off the staff’s plate, turning a full game into the moments that matter without the late-night scrubbing.
- Training analysis. Upload a training session and quickly see what actually happened in it, so the work between games is shaped by evidence rather than guesswork.
- Review and preview. Their own performance broken down, and the next opponent scouted, so preparation rests on evidence.
- Player feedback. The right clips and detail reach each player, so reviews turn into actual development.
The outcome is the one in the quote: better results, and less time lost to the laptop. The coaches get their evenings back and the players still get sharper feedback than before.
What’s next
The habit is what compounds. Week after week, a faster analysis loop means more time coaching and more development banked across a season. It is the same idea behind analysis for schools and academies that do more with less.
If you coach a school side and want your evenings back without giving up on analysis, try Framesports. You can see what the platform does and how teams at every level use it.
