Brief Overview of State Champs - u14 The results from last year's u13 comp is as follows:- BJRU Red BJRU Green Gold Coast BJRU Blue BJRU Gold Sunshine Coast Townsville Darling Downs Bushrangers The Green team actually knocked over the Red team in the pool game, but there was not a struck...

Brief Overview of State Champs - u13 The u13's are sometimes an unknown quantity, as you don't really know how combinations are going to gel until they turn up. Last year a depth to the Div 1 programme in BJRU provided a pointer, but this year a lack of Div 1 depth and therefore talent coming...

Great stuff. Missed the obvious. Thanks for the link QZ.

I am trying to find game times for the Qld State Champs in less than a fortnight and cannot find anything anywhere. No updates for a long time on the QJRU website. Does anyone point me in the right direction or do I have to wait until I get a programme when I turn up at the event?

I have had a re-think about my comments on coaches and short-sightedness. I think I found it too easy to slag off with one or two coaches in mind, when there are hundreds of others out there that did not deserve that. To be fair, most coaches are in it for the love of rugby and to "give back"...

On the big boys, it is something that I have seen many coaches struggle with over the years and get the balance on what will get points for the team and what is in the long term interest of the player. Sometimes it is from just not knowing the body shape that player will end up, but most times...

Correct. In 2012, Redlands were in the Green Region with this team comprising of mainly Sunnybank, Redlands and Souths being Grand Finalists in the QJRU State Champs. Some rubbish occurred during the regular season that saw it best not to include the Easts and Redlands players in the same...

This year they will be selecting City (Brisbane) teams and Country teams for all age divisions from u13 to u17. These teams will be announced after the respective age group finals at the State Champs being held at the Albany Creek Jnr Rugby Club fields at Brendale between 23rd Sept and 25th...

u15 Div 1 Final score 28 to 21 u16 Div 1 Souths v Ashgrove - I believe that Ashgrove won convincingly. u17 Div 1 Sunnybank v Ashgrove - Sunnybank were well on top, but Ashgrove hung on by their fingernails and scored two late tries to clinch the match on the bell.

Good luck to all the teams playing in BJRU finals this weekend. Some players never get to finals, so it is a special day for those who do. Should be some great rugby at the Churchie grounds on Sunday. The u15Div 1 and u14 Div 1 games should be crackers. Some intense rivalry between the...

Mistakes have been repeated. Just saw appointments for this weekend and there are at least three conflicts of interest in the ref and asst ref appointments that I know of. The officials are quite good in my opinion, but the perception of bias may now arise if there is anything controversial...

Have to agree with you on Reuben Wall. Have seen him play for Brothers quite a few times and he is everything you say. Also note that this is behind a v. good forward pack. Have seen him on the rowing course over the years as well and he is probably the toughest kid I have seen in this year...

Aarghhhh!!!! Why don't we learn from our mistakes? BJRU and QRRA should have put their heads together before the finals match appointments last weekend. By my count there were at least 3 match officials appointed to games for clubs they were associated with. It does not help the officials...

True

Angus is son of Sam Harry is nephew of David I believe Do not believe Brodie is any relation to David.

Heard news (which is not a big surprise) that BSHS are parting ways with their head coach at the end of the season and looking for a new one for 2014 and beyond.

Seems that Isiah Grace has also fallen off the map. Is he still at GT?

Here is a breakdown of the representation by schools with greater than one player... Anglican Church Grammar School 6 St Josephs College, Nudgee 6 The Southport School 5 Brisbane Boys College 4 Ipswich Grammar School 4 St Josephs College, Gregory Terrace 4 Brisbane SHS 3 St Edmunds College 3...

Some in on reputation rather than form. But that does happen with a lot of rep selections. I understand Injuries may yet cause some changes. Congratulations to all who were selected.
