He also bemoaned the competition finishing short. Said we are missing a trick by having nothing for the remainder of the year and that something needs to be done to keep the teams together for longer in the year.

Listening to the press conference sounds like Leota almost no chance of playing this week coming. Coach said he’s just not quite there yet. Sounds like he’s not far off but they been cautious and the season ending a little too soon for him to participate in. Kellaway had Covid earlier in the...

Knowing us we will sign Hoskins so we have 4 TH props lol

Not that it’s any sort of surprise but those comments from Eddie indicates Kerevi can book his ticket to France

Looks like a link supplied here https://www.allblacks.com/news/new-zealand-under-20-team-named-for-first-match-against-the-junior-wallabies/ Honestly both unions look like amateurs with the coverage and accessibility of these games. Game starts at 12

Jorgensen gone for rest of super season. Artcile in SMH also mentioning Faulkner and Latu heading off next year

Will have to check if Louwrens is eligible. 10yrs accumulated makes you eligible. He’s had 2 stints in WA and 2 in Vic. Would be fairly close, not that I’m calling for him to be near the Wallabies, just wallabies eligible for TOTW

No other mentions. Just said those names and then “others”. Didn’t indicate if others was in the match day squad or not. Hodgey also mentioned several times when pressed about his thoughts on his last home game, that you never know after his stint in France. So would not surprise me to see him...

For the record both the Rebels and Reds also travelled overseas 4 times this year. Reds the only team to play in 4 different countries. Rebels - Chiefs, Moana, Drua, Highlanders Reds - Highlanders, Chiefs, Moana (Samoa), Drua Obviously for the Force the travel is a burden, there is no way...

Coach basically indicated Hardwick is off in the post match interview. Said the players were up for it because of how special it was for Hodge, Hardwick and a few others.

Every team travels to NZ 2 or 3 times.

All Victorian tight 5 on now Kailea, Uelese, Fa’amasuili, Hosea and Canham

It’s been said a million times but if Uelese can improve his line out throws a little more, the wallabies hooker spot is his. He’s slightly improved over the years but needs to be better still to be a realistic chance. But he’s a weapon at scrum time

5m push over try for Rebels. Uelese is having a strange match. The scrum has been dominant, he’s been very good with ball in hand but typically the lineout wonky at times

Nice hands and try from Rebels for Kemeny

Been a little sloppy in the red zone and could be more. Force looking okay when they do have limited opportunities but if Rebels can execute a little better should hold on

Very strong start from the Rebels. If they executed the line out earlier that lead to the Force been able to kick down field could be more

I know he was highly rated as a school boy but haven’t heard much since. Hopefully playing well

Leota had played 7 a few times for the Rebels at the start of his career. So wouldn’t be the worst.

Back row is going to be a nice problem. With Leota back we are loaded with 6/8s. I can see a big future for Kemeny and believe he will one day wear Gold. So could see him getting a lot of starts at 6. Only issue in the back row is no.7 if Dickie leaves. There isn’t much behind Wilkin.
