I thought Logan were on 19 (4 wins and 3 BP's) and WA on 11 (2 wins, 1 draw and 1 BP. If that's right, then WA 17's need only to fall over the line in the last 2 games. "Falling" might be all they can manage, given they have today to recover from what sounds like a torrid Logan fixture...

I think Thompson was in Perth for the WA trials, so he would have seen Backhouse dominating there. I would hope Oscar was still in the frame for Oz 20's based on that showing, as well as Barbarians last year and NRC appearances. As I understand it, his injury ruled him out of Southern States...

Apparently 5 WA boys included in the Barbarian squad: Riley Winter Netiinili Fielea Angus Taylor Kauri Kudd Hayden Anderson Some very good players in that group.

Sam Offer (Lock).

WA did manage to finish the job and get over Victoria, though the scores were very close. The ACT game sounded like a titanic struggle, with WA down 21-3 at one point. There was 1 yellow card apiece so all even there. Lee, I refuse to believe there is anything you do not know about...

WA def NSW Country 39 - 7 ACT def Victoria 53 - 20

It's a little hard to say HJ with injuries to key players and lack of trial games clouding the picture. Grayson Knapp (Lock) was ruled out before trials. Oscar Backhouse (Lock) and Tristan Schneider (Hooker/Prop) have been casualties of the training programme and I am not sure if they will...

Venue and match schedule can be found here: http://www.sarugby.com.au/news/southern-states-u20-championships/ I would love to be going too but $1,200 Perth to Adelaide return is hard to justify (unless Qantas want to sponsor a photographer:)).

Nephew of David, son of Garry as I understand it. Harry was a very handy scrumhalf in the Qld 1 Schoolboys side in 2014.

In terms of "generational change" we may have reached a tipping point. http://www.smh.com.au/lifestyle/diet-and-fitness/my-how-theyve-grown-20130510-2jc45.html The focus in elite programs of picking and developing bigger athletes has a way to run yet I suspect.

@jack07, don't get me wrong, I have no particular issue with schools offering scholarships to boys from WA, country NSW, the Pacific Islands or elsewhere, provided: They provide balanced educational and social opportunities as well as the sporting focus; The scholarships are transparent and...

WA has also lost a few to Bris in recent years.

Happy to help if you need someone to take photos for the Perth games.
