1954 was actually a four way tie, hopefully never seen again. All due to washed out rounds because of rain.

White provided perfect fodder for the Boks to play their best " in your face" rugby. Seemed like everyone out there wanted a piece of the opposition, but particularly White. Mapimpi yelling "shut -up" at him and the ref telling Slipper to do the same were stand outs. There was a moment during...

UQ should never have got themselves into that situation, up by 10 with 3 minutes to go. Lots of little errors during the game, passes going behind support players, handling errors, goal kicking yips and some poor game management/decision making. Why didn't the restart when Wallis was binned for...

Uncharacteristic handling errors from UQ have given Wests too many opportunities not to score off.

Yep , didn’t for a second mean he will run rampant, just the options it gives Twidale, who I rate as a clever ball player. Should be a cracking contest .

Like the options Twidale and Thomas have this weekend, flat ball to Siakisini running the 10/12 channel or out the back to Campbell feeding Jooste/Grealy/Oats. TJ will definitely make the inside defenders hold. Henry at 13 will have some tough defensive decisions to make . Has he played much 13?

They aren’t completely aligned , not all final year students turn 18 in Qld. Those born before June 30th are still only turning 17. You end up with a large Opens cohort as it’s all of Year 12 and approximately half the year 11s who turn 17 that year. Having said that , the majority of First XV...

Thomas named at 9 in 1st Grade on Rugby Xplorer. Could be a late change. No Vunivalu for Wests , all the Vaihu’s out injured as well as Carter Gordon. Isaac Henry named at 13.

That’s the last week of the season , do Nudgee have the bye?

No doubt will be a league talent scout’s dream, although guessing many of them would already be signed .

They won the RWC final by monstering England in both defence and at the breakdown. Basically had that game won without having the ball, kicked off to England and just kept belting them. That’s what’s coming this Saturday, or at least what the game plan will be.

Smith and Vermuelen on in the last 20-30 minutes gives them punch from the bench. The first 50-60 minutes is going to be a set piece and kick-athon. Not surprising given our lineout and to a lesser degree our scrummage woes. So we know what’s coming , question is can we stop it?

Who’s available for the Wests v UQ game could well be the difference. Carter would likely unlock the talent Wests have out wide. Likewise Jock will have a big impact for UQ if still available.

QRRA ref , what are you suggesting? The score on the scoreboard was 13-10

^ Wins over Nudgee’s 2nd XV are rarer than wins over their 1st XV for Terrace. Cracking game with GT the eventual winners 13-10.

Was looking promising for Terrace , up 12-10 at half time and turning with the wind at their back. Looked like a different team ran out in the second half , too many errors and couldn’t win a lineout . Nudgee capitalised on the opportunities they were given .

Here’s the run sheet , great to see the whole day with no supplementary games. Must make it a lot easier on the Directors of Rugby for the schools, although Nudgee probably do have to find games for some of their teams . The St.Joseph’s Cup goes to the school with the most wins across all...

Not sure they will take the foot off the peddle, form can be tricky to turn back on. My suspicious nature does have some reservations about this game . 2018 UQ played GPS in the last game of the regular season and then again in the Major Semi for two strong wins only to lose to them in the GF...

No Michael Richards for GPS tomorrow . Was on the team lineup last night , but not today. Hopefully nothing major this close to finals. Who is likely to captain ?

There are quite a few from a dominant Div 1 Wests team from a couple of years ago, they are 17 year olds though not U16. Some are only in year 11 and will be back next year , problem is they are not going to get a lot of reinforcement from the current U16's.
