As always we should not be too analytical about which players are chosen for this tour match or that one. By the end of the Fiji game every player would have got a start, and four would have two of them. The selection goal is to produce the best 15 and 23 for the fourth (and final) tour match...

That is harsh - though no denying that it would be interesting to see the 125 kg Helu play 8 one day. He can't be that bad as a prop: he was picked in the Green and Gold Rugby GPS Team of the Year in 2015 as a prop - though very raw in the position - and was the unanimous choice from the...

^^^^^ I'm not sure if he played the whole game but they had three reserve backs and TT came on early. The reserve scrummie came on later and I noticed that the starting scrummie, Jordan came back on, for blood or concussion maybe - so chances are that he played in the whole match. I haven't...

From the maul it was skipper/hooker Faessler who was my MOTM - though Pietsch, who scored a brilliant individual try, got the official award for the best player for Oz. Edit - no he didn't. .

Yes quite a bit because Orpen had to go off early - he underplayed his hand too doing just-in-time passes. .

That was harsh - I thought he played well for a chap that is back at school next year - and the coach thought he played well too. Nevertheless Mohi should have been called up if he was ready to go, in my opinion. .

1. There were programmes available in the cafeteria, a fact that was mentioned several times on the PA after I arrived about 15 minutes before the match and no doubt before that; so I sauntered over and got a copy. 2. I'm not sure when the holidays are in each state - even in NSW; but if...

Faessler is a gun player - definitely a Barbarians' type. I liked the looks of him in the nationals. He is certainly good with ball in hand, but it is the other general and particular attributes that will define him in rugby when he leaves school. .

Teaching at Newington, where he is 1st XV coach. .

Was always a flyer/finisher in his young days. His future will be defined on how he can do the other stuff - and the NRC is the arena where he can show it, or not. .

8 Sunia Finefeuiaki Marcellin College VIC If there had been a Player of the Tournament at the national championships I would have given it to this bloke - though as for other no. 8s, the ACT 8 was terrific in the mud. I didn't think there was a standout 6 but Sunia F was sometimes on the...
