The IRB have a strict age window of 2 years for the tournament. Players have to be born in 1990 or 91 to play. I think Gill is born 92. They tried to get Shatz special clearance 2 years ago and were rejected.

On second thoughts Gill might be to young to go to the U20 World Cup.

Kingi to start a game for the Reds and have a blinder Mitchell to play 13 for the Tahs for most of the year JO'C to play15 all year for the Farce Quirk, Shatz and Gill to be the Aust U20 World Champion backrow

And who did the Chaplain have a difference of opinion with? ;)

Having not really seen Shepherd play since he broke his leg against France in 08 I don't know if I could pick him at 15 for the Wallabies. But as this is a thread about Diggers I would like to see him start on the wing for the Reds with a roving commission with Morgs at 13 but if Morgs decides...

I was talking to one of the guys at Uni who told me they didn't have a big name 10 for this year. Also Liam Gill played in the Darwin 7's for Sunnybank last weekend.

The funny thing is that league is played in almost every school in the state but they have this huge chip on their shoulder that it isn't played in a GPS comp. IGS play in a league comp in term 4 every year so it's not like all the schools are against it. And trying to get rugby played in some...

I think part of the issue for the government is that they own Suncorp and the Gabba. Why would they want to help out someone to take business away from their assets? Also the local residents are a bit of a pain in the ass. They like to live near a sporting venue where they can use the park land...

In terms of what clubs offer players there are quite a few things. 1) Money - Not as popular as you would think due to tax laws, there is a bit of under the table payments that go on though. 2) Cars - has been used by a few clubs that I have come across. Not always the best quality but they...

He missed out on the Premier gig at Wests. It will be quite interesting to see how Brothers go this year. Zane Hilton has lost both assistants from 09 and a couple of key players but they had some talent in an underperforming Colts team last year that they might call on. Wests should improve...

Melbourne and NSW would also be able to hook him up with some business contacts that would make his transition into retirement quite easy. I think this is a huge year for Simmons. He developed really well on the Schoolboys tour in 2006 and with the Aust U19 in 07 but seems to have stayed at the...

Thats a good number of players for the Rebels to target. The QRU would never let that happen though, would they?

I would say that Taylor would be ahead of Schatz if Houston is out. I think that Schatz could get a run off the bench. I hope that he develops into a star of the future but I think that this year maybe to soon.

I think Lucas would have been a better option to go on the Spring tour than Kingi. While I think both have a great future in the game Lucas is much more likely to be of value in 2011. Here is some footage of the 2007 Brisbane GF. From memory Lucas only missed one shot a goal, after his first...

I am more shocked than you Scarfman. Another reason for you to hate the All Blacks?

So if I pick the Barbars score exactly it is the only way I can win?

Former player with a law degree. Think he may have laced on the boots for NSW at some stage.

I think the first half against Wales saved the tour for the Wallabies. They are a much better team with Ioane at 13. Cross I hope has played his last game in the gold jersey. He seems happy just to make the advantage line and has no interest in breaking the line. Cooper is a much better player...

3 Pocock - Set up the win for us 2 Giteau - Welsh had no idea about him 1 Smith - Lifted the team after they switch off in the second half I thought Wayne Barnes had a really good game. i think he is the best ref going around at the moment. Unlike in most games every time he penalised us I...

There was a big issue when Adidas changed the AB's sock to have three stripes not two.
