Looks like the ARU has seen some sense re the Junior Wallabies. Bryant, King and Annan named on bench for Souths. Only HMP not turning out for the Magpies.

Just checked Rugby Xplorer and no Max Craig, so I assume no backflip on Under 20's.

Under 20's as well???

I have a huge amount of faith in our team but I believe that, now that their rep. duties are completed, it should be the players' decision, in consultation with their Club coach, whether they turn out for their club. For example: Taj Annan didn't play in the 5th place play off on the weekend and...

Just heard annoying news that the ARU has directed that the returning Under 20's Junior Wallabies are to stand down from Club rugby this weekend. WTF!!! Are the ARU on a mission to absolutely kill grass roots Club rugby? Clubs have been without these players for five weeks. I certainly don't...

Thanks. I forgot about this aspect of Under 20's World Cup. I was thinking it was like RWC where teams not making finals flyout immediately.

With the Junior Wallabies missing out on the World Cup semi-finals, it will be interesting how long it takes for these players to get back to their Clubs. Souths will be very pleased to see HMP, John Bryant, Taj Annan and Trevor King back earlier than expected although they will be disappointed...

My Club is Souths. Our 1st grade teams that have taken the field over the rounds since the trial began have ranged from around 70 points value to approx. 80 points when we had nearly our full complement of Super Rugby contracted players and our Junior Wallabies playing. Based on the players...

I did the calculations on behalf of a particular Club. A list of players who had played 1st grade in the early rounds was provided by the QRU and it took probably a total of 15 minutes to allocate the players a Category and identify relevant discounts. The QRU then each week identify players who...

Would be good to see the QRU publish the points cap values of each 1st Grade team each week throughout the trial of the system, so that the public can get used to how it may be applied next year. With the Super Rugby players returning to QPR over the next couple of weeks it would be good to see...

I think Theo Fourie, who is with the Rebels and with whom Lukhan played at Souths, will be a strong force in ensuring that he comes back to the Nest.

The QRU is trialling a system that has been used in the Shute Shield in NSW for a number of years. Every player is allocated a points value based on their level of experience e.g. Wallaby player or other International, Super Rugby contracted player, Academy player or Premier level player. Each...

Clean sweep of all games for the Souths Magpies at Norths yesterday with some big scores recorded. This puts Souths back at the top of the Club Championship.

Souths this weekend stands at 65 points with two bench spots to be filled. They will be well under the 100. They were well under even when the Under 20 players were playing.

The trial of the "points cap" system begins this weekend. It would be interesting to see the points tallies for each of the 9 Premier Grade teams for this weekend.

Really!! You've got to be joking.

Souths this year know how to win "ugly" which hasn't been the case over the last few years. Sunnybank played well but not well enough. Souths have 25 points(4 wins and 9 bonus points) so they are really in the mix this year and it extends across the whole Club. They are leading the Club...

Under age selections especially in the Under 16 age group have been a joke for decades. My own experience goes back to 1997, when the Metropolitan East Under 16's won the State Championships held in Toowoomba. Not one single player from the victorious State Under 16 team was selected in the...

H How about we get back to discussing the Club Rugby on field activities and let all Clubs look after their own off field affairs as they determine is appropriate to the circumstances?

I assumed they would have gained the dispensation but playing within a four year age gap? What could possibly go wrong?
