    2016 Under-20 Rugby World Championships - Manchester UK

    ^^^^^^^^^ Not that I know of. All I had was a NSW Under 20s roster which carried onto the Oz Under 20s - maybe it was Tim Rapp's personal spreadsheet because he's an Aus selector. Anyway it had a section blocked off with the text "Oceania Under 20 3rd and 7th" (in May). And because Aus are...

    2016 Under-20 Rugby World Championships - Manchester UK

    Some comments on your list (Post #260) NSW Front Row Sean Dillon is a THP and has played Grade and was doing OK when I last saw him. THPs Francis Brown and Jordan Lotoaniu are overweight but one may be picked. Harry Johnson-Holmes, Sama Malolo and Will McRae are all schoolies, as is...

    2016 Under-20 Rugby World Championships - Manchester UK

    That is out of the original 64; so one in three. But nobody knows how many U19s will make the cut for the competition; so it could be a storm in a teacup until then, though many of the props are schoolies. And not quite to the point, but it's difficult to assess the younger players at...

    2016 Under-20 Rugby World Championships - Manchester UK

    The Reds U20s will be a strong team and I would favour them to win the comp. The Tahs U20s are training well under top coaching and will be as fit as trouts but they don't have any real stars in their galaxy as they have had in the past couple of years, especially with Hutchison devoted to 7s...

    2016 Under-20 Rugby World Championships - Manchester UK

    I rate the aggressive Leota highly but he was at school last year and may be at an age disadvantage to older lads, though he is massive for his age. He was not so dominant at the Oz School Champs in 2015 as the year before because of injury but he is made of the right stuff alright. Watch...

    ^^^^^ It will be interesting to see if Harley has lost some weight because he had a lot of fat around his waist in his last year of school though he played decently for Aus Schools despite it. Someone forwarded some photos of the U20 nationals last and he was still overweight, which is not a...

    It was "TBC" but they're only a couple of hundred metres away from each other; so if they aren't at one then you will be able to see them at the other if you look between a few trees. The Bus Loop is where the buses turn around (doh) in Driver Avenue and is behind the Ladies Stand of the SCG...

    Thanks - the dates I used in the blog before Xmas were from an U20 schedule I got from the Tahs months ago and is obviously outdated. Eyes and Ears has given me more details: SUNDAY, 7TH. FEBRUARYJohn Dwyer Oval, Burraneer11.00am Waratahs U20 v. NSW Country U20 v. Waratahs U19 (3 way)...

    It's not the case. The ARU media guy asked me to delay my blog until the official launch of Super Rugby proper with a view to making a bigger impact. .

    Waratahs 2016

    It wasn't the best kept secret. Hooper has been laying it on thick reviewing the practice sessions in huddles at the end in an articulate and forthright way. He is an impressive young man. Dennis will handle the off-field side of things and it will work well because Dave is all Tah and...

    Adrian Thompson has given me some information on the Super Rugby Under 20s competition but the ARU want it quarantined until the launch of Super Rugby proper on Feb 17th to give it maximum exposure. Believe me, there are no big secrets but I am just saying this to tell folks when the details...

    ^^^^^^ No - and Rapp told me yesterday that there were still about 40 left and that looked about the number that was there training. I thought he said earlier that a lower number would greet the new year, but never mind. Last year the number was 36 at about Feb 1st but that had one or two...
