Hutchison 14, Jones 11.

Very even and the lead just kept switching. The Baa Baas dominated in the scrums. A few dropped balls and miscommunications in the Baa Baas, but a great hit out for both sides. I was surprised QLD wasn't more dominant, though they had fewer mistakes overall. Played with good spirit but very...

What's the web link for the source of these team lists?

Huw, this is exactly the system used by Subbies in Sydney.

So, who are the Qld squad hookers - Lyon and Webb? What about Zac Shanks? And while Mafi is injured, will he be okay by the National Championships in Canberra, or possibly fit for selection after Canberra and in time for the Oceania comp and then World Cup U20s? By the chat here, sounds like...

Hugh, no counting of chickens in Chez Sideline. And our connection to the team is merely thrilled to be in the coop with the other chickens, with little expectation of anything more (typically self-deprecating). Nevertheless, we've been taken by surprise in the past, so might do as you suggest...

Sounds like the props have a number of good options. But the hooker spot sounds like there are injuries and, apart from Folau Fainga'a, no obvious understudy who is fit. Given there are three Aussie sides in The Canberra trials, and presumably 2 hookers a side, and 3 hookers to go to Italy, who...

Hugh, here's the mail. Gibbo is out, Ned and Tyson had a week off but are fine now.

I believe the NSW 20s squad is having this weekend off - tapering for next week's games. They had good hit outs on Thursday, Sat and Tuesday to mimic (roughly) the 3 games in 5 days in Canberra, so now just some fine tuning and strategy.

Harrison Goddard given accolades in the Hills Shire Times a few weeks ago: http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/newslocal/the-hills/harrison-goddard-is-hills-shire-times-junior-sports-star-luke-millican-is-young-achiever/story-fngr8j1q-1227225190878

Not sure where to post this, but given Crighton would have been likely to be in this NSW 20s squad, this is probably as good a place as any. Starting No. 12 for the Rabbitoh's this weekend.

And there's a new hooker line-out throwing box on the top oval.

I understand Eastwood has about 60 boys, mostly local lads, turning up to colts training currently.

Update: 3pm kick-off for a 40 min half, 40 mins off, then another 40 min half.

You could probably put another team of those left from New South Wales and Queensland final sides. And possibly one from the country sides . While also maybe another from those who didn't make the southern states side. But as you say, you still have to cut back to one squad for the National...

The above is pretty much correct from my understanding. Vuni Fifita also seems to be out, along with Andrew Vatuvei. I think Francis Brown has retained a position.

Wow, fantastic birthday timing for young Jamie if that's the case :) As you say, getting this far in year one of three is experience you can't buy...
