While I like the idea I can see a few issues. Schools will not want to loose any power that they currently have in the elite pathway. Australian Schoolboys have a long and strong tradition of developing talent and providing the first real opportunity for many to play for their country...

Probably the wrong thread but ABC iView has the 1989 Lions tests available for the next 2 weeks.

While the Wallabies will be better for the game last week I think the same can be said for the Lions. They had immense pressure on their shoulders and I think it will be slightly relieved this week. Bowe is a big advantage. He was a threat in the game against the Reds and offers more than...

I'm not a huge McCabe fan but he's a tough SOB. Was watching him on Saturday night getting treatment in back play and was obviously in pain. He saw the Wallabies were short in defence so jumped up to fill in and made the tackle before being stretchered off. Really hope he has a speedy recovery.

Brumby Runner The Kimlin v Simmons spot was the biggest issue I had. Could have gone the other way easily. Understand the Beale v JOC (James O'Connor) debate and I know both will be in the starting team. I just think Beale needs to be sorted out and it has nothing to do with the quality of rugby he is playing...

My Wallaby team for the weekend (from the current squad) It's not going to happen as Deans has a boner for Palu and Beale. 1. Robinson 2. Moore 3. Alexander 4. Douglas 5. Horwill 6. McMenimen 7. Smith 8. Mowen 9. Genia 10. O'Connor 11. Tomane 12. Leali'ifano 13. Ashley-Cooper 14. Cummins...

If anyone didn't tip this weekend I will accept their previous tip for R2 with the change in handicap taken into account.

From the horses mouth. Good that you could clear that up Reg.

The QRU seem to be running as the Reds. Was told Qld Schools are paying $5K for the honour of playing at Ballymore. As I mentioned before this is what was told to me so would be happy to proved wrong.

Only 1 game this week. A replay of Norths v Wests this time at Toowong. Interesting to see if the result changes.

I think if we learnt anything from the UJ experiment it's that these young guys should be given a chance to play at lower levels to develop and not rushed into higher level stuff.

Was told the QRU are charging the Queensland Schoolboy Rugby Union to play this at Ballymore. Seems wrong to me. Would have thought that they could play it at a club or school ground and save some much needed money. The amount is apparently more than the Roar pay to be based at Ballymore, not...

I'd be keen to see an internal tournament. More of a chance to see all the talent. Could have a Qld, NSW and Combined U20's as curtain raisers for the early rounds of Super Rugby. Play each other twice means 4 games for each team. Would provide more reasonable feedback in my eyes and exposure...

QRU should post something in the next couple of days. It's a shame the Qld Schools Rugby Union website isn't used any more as it provided a great deal of information in the past.

Gill and Hooper are both in the position Smith was 12 years ago. This series could be the making of one or both of them. It doesn't matter now as George is out of the first test. If the Wallabies loose and Hooper and Gill don't preform then he'll come into contention, if fit.

On the first point Jeremiah Fatialofa has been great for the club. Came across form NZ last year and played 2nd and 1st grade before sitting on the bench for premier in the finals. Has worked hard on his fitness in the off season to cement his spot in Premier. He's the son of former Samoan test...

They asked. Robbie seem to wait an age to ask the club is George could be released.

TD managed to tip the round this week and Red Heavy bounced back with 4/5 to take back the lead on his own. TD 5 Red Heavy 4 Will 4 Jets 3 leakytap 3 crackers 3 Elmasri 2 Pauly 2 Rugbywatch 1 East Coast Aces 1

I was surprised that Connor Mitchell from UQ didn't get a gig. I've only seen him play a couple of times but have been very impressed.

Lance and Harris are playing for Uni apparently.
