Yes, agreeing with you on all of the above Vegas. It is probably the timing of the introduction that I was concerned about. Definitely support it when the first cohort under the new system commences (and for it to apply to that year level and all that follow it) so there is no disparity...

After watching a couple of the interschool trials and performances by individuals at the State Trials, I think this year could see some very close results through out the comp. I sincerely believe that any team on its day can win their respective matches and we may see some upsets / close...

Yes, Samo was excellent when he came on for his cameo last night. His tackling was dominant. He also provides a back row / second row option as well.

I think Grace will be starting in the 16's for the time being and Leofa will miss most of the season with inury.

I heard Rodwell played in the front row. Has played all his high school and rep rugby at flanker or No. 8, so do not know if this was a permanent move, which seems very strange or just the ability to trial boys in new positions before the season proper commenced next week. Maybe why NC were...

Have to disagree with you on this Vegas. Playing in year levels at this point would lead to a very big imbalance in ages across the schools if played at Year level. At the moment, most schools have a calendar year intake for their students. However, there are a couple of schools who either...

What a finish!!! Loved it. Thanks Gareth Delve for gracing our shores. I hope this team continues to build on some great wins this season.

Also, an outside contender from the u15 age group may be Tom O'Toole from Padua.

Only one 16 year old that I know of in the TSS squad - Toby Greenup (prop) Other TSS players in u16's that may be a show include - Cooper Mackenzie, Callum Ball, Chase Perkins, Carl Gooch.

Lee, the GPS teams have only had trial games to date - season proper commences Saturday week. The AIC schools had just completed their full season before the QLD Trials and have provided more players to the Aust Schools than the GPS schools this year.

Many of the GPS A/B teams from ACGS, TGS, GT and TSS playing in a rugby tournament from 13's up to Opens on the Gold Coast this week at the TSS grounds.

A big big thank you to Lee Grant and George Smith for your blog reviews and photos for each day's games. To yourselves and others who provided the forum updates and posts, your contributions and insights provide great "vision" for those who cannot attend and provide the stories behind the...

Please tell me that there is too much enmity between RG and JOC (James O'Connor). I don't think I could handle the JOC (James O'Connor) brand playing for the Reds. After the rebuilding of the pride of playing for the QLD team by McKenzie and the new Board, surely they would not even think for one second that JOC (James O'Connor) would bring...

Hey, can anyone on the ground shed any light on the spat between Beale and the Lions players after the second or third try was scored? Unfortunately it occurred just off camera, but seemed extremely petulant where after the try was scored, Beale shouldered the Lions player, another Lions player...

I have to agree so much with this. While I acknowledge it is a different game today than 25 years ago when the u19 scrum rules were the same as the Seniors, I am astounded by how little the schoolboys actually practice scrummaging. From the information I hear about school training, is that...

First, congrats to those selected. For some it may be a goal they have pursued with intensity we will never know and every young man deserves their selection. In recent years, it has always been a challenge of mine to keep those boys who have not been selected for a team to keep going and not...

Congrats to the BI Lions. Played the consumate game and left no doubt about the result. What else can be said.....

Is that Alexander's last game? Or was he a victim of ref's perception? That first 30 or so minutes was just diabolical for the Wallabies. That run by Mogg sparked a turnaround. It is going to be tough finding that extra 10 points in the last half.

Mogg!!!! Beautiful first test touch

That scrum effort has just set wallabies back four years. Every team we now play will take advantage of perception.
