    Any score update? The social media interns from QLD reds are at lunch by the look of it.

    The Roar is saying the 7s job has gone to Liam Barry from NZ after Chucky Stannard took a role at the Force.

    2024 Super Rugby Under 16 and 19 series (29th Sept - 3rd Nov)

    There will be a big brumbies core in the squad but there is depth in every position. Morrison should be there but move to 6, Enasio, Wilcox, the hooker will be there with King from QLD (great watching those two at each other the whole game), plus the blond 2nd row. Jonno Ryan is a chance as...

    U18 Academy Games and Australia U18s

    I think out of that team we will definitely keep the majority of players. The tight five will stay and at least Robinson and Cleverley from the backrow. Grover and Fowler, Goldsbrough and Fittler are locked in. I think Lomoto will be a bigger loss than Makasini but right now he is far more...

    Wallabies 2024

    We are missing the good old days when most of the backline was over 6ft and 100kgs. We have the smallest backline in the pro era and our lack of penetration shows. Paisami tries hard but doesnt have the bulk for the narrow game plan Schmidt runs. I think Foketi was doing well under Renni (France...

    6-2 bench. Thought Fittler might start at inside to defend against the early attack and draw some defence onto his large frame on offence. Takai looks full of running but might be better suited to a more open 2nd half.

    I wonder how much 2nd division league players (playing for mounties or Norths) get compared to union. It is very hard to compete for these young kids.

    I could be wrong but i believe they are too young to sign a league deal yet.

    About the same as keeping Lomoto. Buckleys and f**k all. I cant see how a contract like Fittler's is appealing to them. Bugger all money to be semiprofessional and play colts.

    Lipina Ata is a solid unit and maybe Langi could shift in, big boy and former backrower.

    Uys is from Qld and still in year 11 i think. With Goddard, Uys and Delutiis in Qld the Wallabies have some real, very large, front row talent coming through.

    U18 Academy Games and Australia U18s

    Throwing long constantly in windy conditions wasn't smart but the kiwis marked the front of the lineout well to force their hand. Still, throwing to 6 and not 4 was weird. Also, the positioning for kick receipt was spot on. Shout out to the commentators who were enthusiastic.

    Fowler made some good tackles on the huge number 7 from the barbarians. He was their main go forward man and Fowler (plus others) started to line him up.

    U18 Academy Games and Australia U18s

    Uys and the backrow were immense. A lot of dropped ball and communication issues but bucket loads of talent. Defence needs some work though but the big game will be interesting.

    2024 Super Rugby Under 16 and 19 series (29th Sept - 3rd Nov)

    Doyle, the captain and 8 for NSW is a hard lad and Brendan Palmer on the wing was electric. Toughest choice for higher honors will be in the centres as there were a number of good players, including both Force boys. Silas Pilot was awesome on attack, super quick, tough and a big lad who really...

    Waratahs 2025

    He did it against a team that is yet to win a game (dead last on the table) and has leaked over 290 points in 6 games, so not exactly NPC standard let alone SRP (Super Rugby Pacific). Good on him for taking his opportunity, although NH has also only won 2 games. Always saw him as a solid inside centre option though...

    Wallabies v Springboks, Sat 17th August 2024 Perth

    The bok chop tackling was super effective, especially from the front rowers. Valetini, LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) etc were targeted and shut down very effectively. Playing with more depth (not Lolesio's strong point) would certainly help and create more space behind the D line.
