In 2006 the Qld I and NSW I teams had the gun players (including Q. Cooper and K. Beale respectively) but Qld I lost to NSW IIs by 15 points in their pool match, and NSW I lost to Qld II by three. NSW I won the 3rd/4th place by 27 points v Qld 1, but Qld II won the Championship v NSW II 14-13...

I thought hooker Ongosia was outstanding in the mud yesterday. .

Sorry the G&G report was so late but I was struggling last night. The writers did a great job - thank you all. .

NSW I meet NSW II in the final on Saturday. NSW I unbeaten - NSW II thanks to their bonus point loss to Qld I - by 6 points and not 8. .

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This reminds me that we should get some Queensland input in our match reports which are too NSW-centric, naturally enough. There is a game on tomorrow today that doesn't have a writer. 1:00pm - Qld II v ACT - How about somebody doing a match report on the game from...

Wow - I had no idea it was that good- haven't had a chance to watch it myself (I assume you don't have to watch it live.) So how about it guys - there's a couple of great games available tomorrow - send me a convo now, don't miss out. .

Guys there's been a few changes in the teams from both before the Championship and no doubt from yesterday. For the benefit of our writers can people list the people they know have been called in - and if possible what number the wore yesterday - and who they replaced. Or maybe you know just...

Spot on and the ACT was superb also. But expect NSW Is and Qld Is to improve during the week: they nearly always do. NSW Is had some good backline moves but too many were guilty of ball-hogging; something they get away with in their school games (where it is often acceptable) but not in the...

I'm really stuck for writers: I may have one writer tomorrow, but nobody else and the rest of the week is not peaches and cream either. People have dropped out for no fault of their own. We may have to miss doing a report tomorrow though I could post a few photos with some words around them...

There is a blog on Day 1 of the national champs here: http://goo.gl/Qoy5qq Give it a click. .

Ha, ha - not as bad as when Rugby Reg was stepped by Quade Cooper in a bit of fun at training - and that was after QC (Quade Cooper) told him which way he was stepping. Yeah HH's family when down there when his dad got a teaching or head master assignment. .

And is a natural lineout manager as well - that's rare in a young fellow. .

I first noticed him in his U16 year but we heard about him in the forum before that as a rising star. Not many players recognised so young shine as professional players but Kurtley Beale, who gob-smacked me as a 13-year-old did, and later so did another Sydney wunderkind, Henry Hutchison, when...

I haven't been following the fringe players of the Reds so I was amused that the TV captions had Tuttle in the starting side and the reserves. Everybody makes mistakes, I thought, then bloody hell - I realised Jack was starting at fullback. I didn't even know he was back from the NRL. Jack...

It's hard to get excited about a game against that opposition but what odds 20-year-old Andrew Kellaway being Aussie rookie of the year? He overplayed his hand a couple of times in this game, as young players do, but, as in his school days, he is playing with a maturity that is uncommon, has a...

Horne at 12 - interesting. A pity he's not having his 100th at home. .

Hugh has written an excellent preview of the 2016 National Championsips here: http://goo.gl/Rfda7M Give it a click. We still need writers for the National Champs and it may come down to our reporting on just two games per day. But if you can help please say so here. Thank you.

National Championships 4th - 9th July Green and Gold reporting The National Championships start next Monday, July 4th at Riverview, and end on Saturday 9th July. Depending on how many writers volunteer to help, we will try to write brief reports on all the Division I matches. These will be...
