Grammar's rugby approach has placed a huge emphasis on the program as a whole, a not particularly indictive of the first XV at the moment. Their strategy of bringing in high quality coaches of top quality, a boy or two here and there will eventually reap rewards as we have seen there sides...

"Dropped out of the race" and we haven't even had trials?

I'd have Tuipolotu in front of Jooste as a 12

Interested at the selection of Riley at 13 given he's such a good player. I would've thought he was more likely to end up a starter on the wing when Perese comes back in so was hoping he could get some game time there to try claim that starting wing spot come georgia (as he has mostly played 13...

Some misreads here. Hearne isn't a second rower although if Wilson jumps, so too does gassman and they will find a nifty 3rd jumper. It worked last year with Tweedy, Webster and co in the backrow. Matchett has some major competition at 9 with Kirk and Siolo also plays there. Same with Lo...

I was thinking maybe Hutchinson, but any reds u20 player works well ;)

Did Kennewell play centre at school? I remember Hutchinson having unbelievable hype around him, he just seemed graceful along the surface. A real class player. Obviously with the comings and goings it's going to be hard to put a team together and get some proper combinations before Georgia, but...

The more ball in Perese hands the better is my reasoning. I watched him play there at school too and loved it. Obviously my backline was everything being ideal with sevens players being released. I find the possible case of McNamara the most interesting one. He played 10 and 15 at school and...

9 - Nucifora/ Goddard 10 - Stewart 11 - McNamara 12 - Tuipuloto 13 - Perese 14 - Hutchinson 15 - Madocks

Very off topic but does anyone think that with the culling of a franchise ( :( ) it may actually help the wallabies on a short term basis? We hopefully get our best players playing together and creating more established combinations, hopefully winning a lot more games and helping develop a...

for example?

Higginbotham has been great this year but his defensive read at 56:22 oozes fatigue and laziness. It's obvious that his man is the next guy and he jams in and makes a soft read opening up a whole heap of space. This puts McIntyre into an awful position having to sprint up and try make a 1-1 v...

The thing I don't get about JMac is how much Premier grade rugby has he played? Is he better then the 10's running around there? I don't think so. Surely after being involved in the last 2 season the reds could clearly see his deficiencies in straightening the attack and his inability to take...

great to hear as I was on the bar!

Perese played centre at school

Wests at home at the new Colosseum this weekend, should be a spectacle to behold

Also king, where is that team list for the Aus 18 7's? Would like to see the team

what level is this though? Maybe he's playing SG Ball

Great prospect but that does seem a tad of a stretch. I hope it's true but he wasn't named in the 23 and isn't on the club profiles for NYC. Where is this from??

Pat Tafa is a big boy who graduated from BSHS last year. He's only ever played at number 8 from memory so I think that's why they have reshuffled. He can really make impact with his big frame and they rate that highly at the u20's. Word is that sometimes can get a little lazy but isn't that part...
