The Wallaby team announcement has been moved forward to tomorrow morning (11.30am) from Thursday, for some reason.

Absolutely shocking news about this lad. Tragic accident. Everyone was praying for a better outcome but it was not to be. Thoughts are with his family and friends, and the UQ rugby community. I'm sure the GPS boys will be devastated as well.

I was at Yoku Rd today for the Colts match GPS v Uni (GPS got up). I didn't see the Premiers game but reports have it that one of the Uni players was very seriously injured in a tackle. Actually stopped breathing and they had to give him CPR. Rushed to hospital. I very much hope that he pulls...

Interesting that EP are contracting Kiwis to play in the Currie Cup (Newland & Kennedy)? You don't see that too often. Re: JP & Ruaan Smith. I don't think they're near Super XV quality just yet Paarl but maybe an Academy somewhere might be interested? I reckon they'd go well in a CC or NPC...

Lee Waita Setu is playing league for the Brisbane Broncos U20s and O'Reagan union for Norths Colts. Heard he was playing OK in a new-look team.

Will be good to see some team lineups. Hey Paarl, the two Smith boys (JP and Ruaan) are doing well for the GPS club in Brissy. JP was selected in the Brisbane rep side the other day. Both making a mark in club rugby.
