He looked ok playing 12 for South Coast in the game that I watched him in. He is also playing Prem Colts for Sunnybank and they are likely to be the top team after the weekend. From all reports he is playing well for them.

Went out and had a look at the Qld U18 State Champs at Sunnybank this morning. I only managed to stay for a couple of hours as I had a 2 year old in tow. The day started with Northern taking on Met West on the main oval. Northern had a lot of speed in their team and took most of their chances to...

I have a theory that Props think more about the game than people who played any other position. The posts here are proving this theory correct.

Backrow from the start till U13's when I thought wing looked like fun. Played every backline position apart from halfback at school in the lower teams then in grade 12 moved back to the backrow and progressed up the ranks and played 1st XV at second row. In colts I played mostly second row and...

I'm going to try and get out to Sunnybank tomorrow to have a look at the Queensland Schoolboy Trials for CSS. Should be an interesting day. I will try and do a write up if I do get out there.

I read somewhere that they are rugby mad and he was named after the great man. Funny he ended up being a prop. He may even tackle.

And I don't think there is any height in the Reds Academy. Samo would be good to have around.

Re: Rebels deadline ends, update here on what you hear. I am very excited for Tessman. He is a Hooker who plays LHP due to James Hanson playing at Uni too. He has really trimmed down a lot of the excess fat he has carried in the past since joining the Reds Expanded Training Squad. I haven't...

I played for a season in Ireland (a long time ago) and there was a huge amount of excitement during to 6 Nations not just about the test matches but the "A" and Under age games as well. I think if the ARU could get a Women's comp and U20's comp going it would add to the excitement and the...

Nothing better than a Rangger Mullet. It will be missed by all.

Re: Oz U20 squad Yeah that is the case. if it wasn't a lot of these guys wouldn't make themselves available. Someone like David Feao would be looking at a Super 15 contract in the coming years but he can play for Tonga U20's and have a great experience and if he doesn't make it at Super 15...

Very true spectator. He is playing very well at the moment and have developed rapidly since joining the students. Still only 20 so lots of years ahead of him.

There has been a change in the coaching at Uni with Paul Healy leaving to take up the role of Rugby Coach with the NT Institute of Sport. He has been replaced by Pat Howard and James Holbeck (returning to the role he held last year). Not a bad back ups in my book.

Good to see Hanson on the bench. I also really hope that Quirk gets at least 20min of game time.

Keep the info coming Amanda as a lot of us are very interested if following Women's rugby. I would love it if in the ARU would be able to run a couple of Provincial comps under the Super 15. A Women's comp and an Men's U20 comp. That would be great exposure for these players and would make for...

Yeah it will. I think Souths may suffer due to how well the Fainga'a brothers have been going. Also there will be quite a few clubs missing players to the U20's teams. There are a few players in the Fijian and Samoan teams that play in Brisbane from what I have been told.

Best news I have heard in a long time.

I don't think the young Lucas is ready to be in a Super squad just yet. Maybe in a couple of years time. I've seen him play 1 colts game this year and while he was good he wasn't at the level that I would feel comfortable with putting him on the field against some real men in Super rugby.

Any port in a storm :lmao:

Thinking of getting tickets to the Ireland game at Lang Park. Quite excited about the test matches this year.
