it's still better development than smashing Tier 2/3 nations

For this to be worth the money, I believe that the matches have to be at least the standard and intensity of Super Rugby and I am not sure that a tour match against Japan or the USA is at this level.

Uni leading 36-3 in 2nd Grade.

The Reds forum says that Chapman is a free agent which would suggest to me that he is not required.

Although that must be tempered by the fact that their 1st Colts missed out on a Top 8 finals series.

Gillespie is a talent but not a rookie.

Yes, I forgot Horwitz.

I heard a rumour that Horwitz is going to the Rebels. Can anyone confirm?

Link can't help you given that he plays his club footy in Canberra.

The Catchpole Medal function is normally the week of the GF.

No such policy but you are correct that he is not refereeing Shute Shield finals this year.
