^^^^^^^^^^ The Aus U20s would have priority over anything below Super Rugby and I am sure that the players would approve of that. But Super Rugby? They are contracted to the Super Rugby outfits. I remember that CFS was withheld from the Aus U20s by the Reds in 2013 with the proviso that he may be...

It took me a while to realise how funny that was. One of your best P. Paddy. And are Nigels really Englis? .

It was a good shirt in the early 60's but Old Spice was the go as the aftershave - and you'd put the Trini Lopez or Buddy Holly records, which the girls seemed to like, on the record player and feed them an Indian curry on rice that they had to wash down with a lot of chilled white wine to cool...

Since we don't have a 2016 thread - Munster is very interested in Horne. http://www.rugbyweek.com/news/article.asp?id=45126 .

This is getting bitchy - stop now please. Lets talk rugby only.

^^^^^^^^ Bugger - the Tahs are already taken.

^^^^^^ And, since you were talking about the Marlins, what were you doing about the other hand? .

He would be a good "get" for England but no.8 is not a big problem for them: Morgan played well against us and Billy V seems to be coming good now. He would be good in a squad though, to cover 7 or 8 - any backrow position really. He's a South African type of backrow: you have to see the...

It's odd that Ellis A missed out as he was in the 2014 NSW U20 team in his U19 year. I'm surprised a few of the big boppa's from Souths have been omitted. Lukhan L-T is big and made the squad. This training will be good for him but he is still just 18 (or was at 31st Dec) - and is still...

I didn't understand this bit "I like".

From Aus U20s 2014: S. Croke, A. Kellaway, C. Orr, M Sandell * Others from NSW U20s 2014: F. Fainga'a, N. Hanigan, J. McCalman, H. Jones, A. Deegan ** From Australian Schools 2014: E. Craig, V. Fifita, N. Yeomans. * Called into squad later to replaced injured player. ** Chosen for Aus...

So that was a Tahs thingo? (don't know what the word is). .

Generation Blue Colts (NSW Under 20s) This is their training group of 35 now - to be reduced to 28 before the National Under 20 Championship Hookers E. Craig N. Koutsakis F. Fainga'a Props F. Brown V. Fifita C. Orr M. Gibbon M. Sandell (also hooker) 2nd Row L. Cannell N. Kellaway H...

I didn't respond to the query yesterday because I was asked not to mention him. The Tahs will be making a media release. It's a good story about him they say. But he is crocked actually and is having trouble walking. .

This is simpler than the BS I wrote. But it doesn't explain why Kerevi did not qualify on residency in 2013 since he lived in Australia since he was a boy. He was chosen for, and training with, the squad at Narrabeen in 2013 and the ARU staffer said they were hoping the visa would came...

Do you have a link for this? The reason I ask is that I have been advised what the NSW Under 20s trial series is and their last match is on 7th April. .

Disagree about his being a bolter, I think he's a natural captain. Colby is arguably even more so - but McMahon is more likely to be starting in games. .

Its a very shaky area but residency doesn't seen to be an issue because Will and Cameron Skelton were able to play for Samoa U20s, though both were residents of Sydney and born in NZ. But note that Samu Kerevi couldn't qualify for Aus U20s in 2013. An ARU staffer told me then that he had visa...

WA is having trials next Saturday. Whether it will choose a training group for the Southern States' Tournament as the ACT seems to have done or the final squad (with unnamed train-on players) as Victoria has done, is not mentioned. .

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Maybe he's only 18 though which would make him less desirable as an U20 tight five player in 2015, however big. He could have turned 19 in the last few days (in the new year) but otherwise he wouldn't have been eligible for Aus Schools in 2014. You never know though - if he...
