All Blacks were immense last night but I agree with everyone that they seem to get away with blue murder at the breakdown. Thought the yellow card at the beginning of the game was soft. Nothing in that. Dagg's try was brilliant. Muliaina's replacement right there when Mil's decides to go...

Well, it's evident why Uni sits comfortably at the top of the Premier table. Just too much class in the team. Went out to Bottomley to watch the Tigers take them on, and whilst the Tigers were brave and took it to Uni for a good part of the game, the size of the Uni forwards and the class of...

There's no doubt something silly happened that night however, he's been through due process and a ton of media scrutiny and is now out the other side. Everyone should just move on. Unfortunately for QC (Quade Cooper), he seems to be someone you either love or hate, with plenty in both camps by the tone of...

Looking forward to Uni v Easts at Bottomley this weekend. I know Uni are stacked with quality players but if Easts can repeat their effort against Brothers on the weekend then who knows? Significant injury toll at Easts with at least two top line forwards and four starting backs out with injury...

Leroy got 10 minutes in the bin for deliberately taking a man out after he had kicked through. He was quite awesome though, and contributed a hell of a lot more than I have ever seen him do at club level. everytime he ran the ball he was a handful. I said it on the Brisbane club page but I do...

Great work Whispers. Am endeavouring to be there for the Friday afternoon games. Obviously Qld (either I or II) will be in with a show, but that NSW side who put on 70 odd might be the team to succeed. Have to see how the other teams go against that opposition though. I will be interested to...

Cracker of a game down at Sunnybank with young Matt Lucas kicking a dropgoal on fulltime to snatch a come from behind win against Souths. Plenty of good players on the field and the forward battle was quite intense. Leroy Houston had some enormous carries and Holmes was also dominant. I wonder...

The current squad was good enough to win a World Sevens leg, and came third overall, so I reckon they deserve the chance to play at the Games.

Some cracking games and matchups this week, Uni v Brothers the pick of the round. How many games have Uni now gone wthout a loss? Souths v Sunnybank should be another good one and it will be good to see Ben Tapuai up against Ant Fainga'a in the centres. Sun Coast will also be desperate for a...

LG, Not so sure I am totally with your comments. Aus has won schoolboys two of the last three years, so there has at least been parity or more in recent times. Perhaps it is more the pathways after school, but quite a few of these Aussie guys have only been out half a year. I do think the age...

Well done to the Aus U20's, best finish in three years of the Under 20 format, and first time finalists. Just happened to come up against a bloody good Baby Blacks side. They were awesome, and their forwards in particular put on a clinic. Not all doom and gloom however. Just about every...

Trials for Qld schools are next week. Bit out of touch with schools footy these days but might venture out to Ballymore. Anyone got some names to look out for? If seasons past are any indication the GPS sides will be too strong but it would be good to hear about a few non GPS boys who might...

I see that Robbie Coleman is one of four nominations for the IRB Under 20 player of the year. Good choice, he has been outstanding! I hope he has one more big game in him. Quite a number of this squad should be playing S15 next year. They have been really impressive.

Disappointing result. I was waiting for the Wallabies to go up a gear and they never did. Fair play to England, they outenthused us and were the better side on the night.

Tipped the wrong upsets didn't I.... Brothers had a killer second half yesterday to take the points with Donelly outstanding in his 100th club game. Apparently he also scored his 80th try. It was a game of two halves with Sun Coast dominating the first and going into the break 17 - 0 up. They...

Pretty sure I heard he is going under the knife. Damn shame to see him cop another long injury lay off.

Well, back to club land after the long weekend break. It will be interesting to see how many S14 players are on the field today. Thinking of going to the Sunnybank/Easts game althought the Brothers v Suncoast game at Crosby Park might also be worth attending. At Oldmac, Easts will be without...

It is great to see the U20's through to the Grand Final, but going on semi form the Baby Blacks will be hard to toss. Their 8, 10 and 14 look particularly dangerous. Thought that the OZ side looked in control of their semi against England but it was a bit scrappy in parts. The lineout definitely...
