Holy crap Tom Wright and Charlie Smith selected in Barbarians. Was not expecting that.

Unsure. But Izaia Perese being called up was certainly not a mistake. Best 13 we had last year.

QLD II. Max Baker (Villa) crouched shirtless far left. Justin Sikimeti (Pats) standing third from left back row. Tom O'Toole (Padua) standing far right backrow. Lawson Creighton (Padua) in front of O'Toole.

QLD I victory over NSW II. Michael Wood (Padua) standing far right with arms crossed.

Yes it's true the Q1 boys aren't too good at the scrum. It might also be a problem with the second row, as the #5 from BSHS constantly collapses and bends. Michael Wood is a better scrummer, lets hope he gets game time tomorrow.

I meant throughout the whole game, not just against Mcclennan.

Unlikely. He was dominated by Q1's number 8 and I believe the N1 number 8 is very talented as well. Last year they only picked 2 eights so yeah unlikely I think.

Would be a great mix. I haven't heard much of Sepesa though. Is he performing well for NSW or has it been ordinary for him this year?

Thankyou for posting this. Honestly, recording in HD and then uploading to YT is a heck of a lot better than the crappy livestream. Great footage, Ngamanu was on fire. He's a sure fire for the Aus 15 jersey. Hewat was looking good too, as was Kalala Meni at 6. NSW dominated the scrum though...

I'm not in any position to justify this team but I think it will be close. 1. Harry Johnston-Holmes - N1 2. Tom Horton - N1 3. Gavin Luka - Q1 4. Ryan Mccaughly - N1 5. Tom Pirrodi - N1 6. Nathaniel Gittoes - N1 7. Angus Allen - Q1 8. Reece Hewat - Q1 9. Harrison Goddard - N1 10. Jack McGregor...

Awkward question but I don't suppose you know the height and weight Pirrodi is? I've heard he is quite a giant but from looking at his Newington rugby photos he looks deceptively small. Perhaps it's a photo thing.

On the small side? Hewat is around the same size as Pirrodi is I'm pretty sure. He was also a solid set piece in the Aus schools team last year, scored a couple of tries if I remember correctly. We'll see anyway in the finals.

Schwenke is doing great for QLD 2, pesky in the breakdowns as he was for Padua. I think O'Toole started for QLD 2 today, unfortunately the team lost to NSW 1 by 20 points. Haven't heard anything of Sikimeti, Baker, or Wood. QLD 1 will face NSW 1 on Saturday in the finals for National...

Agreed, could be a second row issue. QLD 1 have their premier Aus schools lock Reece Hewat at number 8 this year. If this issue persists with the Aus schools team this year, then putting Hewat back in the second row and having Lachlan Anderson at 8 would be a good decision.

I'm putting my money on QLD 1. Will be a very close game. I can see most of the Aus schools players coming from N1 and Q1, backed up by N2 and Q2. Anyone think there will be any VIC or ACT selection? I know Jooste? is quite good for ACT.

I don't want to sound like a buzzkill but the Iona comment isn't entirely true... the competitiveness of 2013 was WAY ahead of this year. Also I thought there was only 3 Padua boys selected?

Combined States: Josh Schwietzer - SEC Andrew Richardson -SEC Phillip Hunt - SPC

He is in year 12 this year but has left Churchie and moved up north for his Cowboys scholarship.
