Durbidge started strongly but then got caught out defensively in the wider channels (admittedly against fleet footed runners). Given they both went off perhaps he and Goddard were already carrying niggles? Doyle was strong in the last 20 but had, by his standards, a quiet first 60. Whether...

Probably expected more from the Tahs today but they still looked like a significantly dominant team. Reds had moments of being OK but discipline at the Tahs end and the fact the Reds struggled at the set piece kept the Reds in the game. This competition helps develop/showcase talent but the...

He'd be in grade 12 next year so it would be pretty reckless to take someone away from their final year of studies. Probably fine in league but not where union should be positioning itself. I'm not saying there isn't upside in the kid but at the moment he's got some real work to do scrum-wise -...

Hopefully we get to see him pack against Goddard - if he can pass that that test then we can get excited. There were definitely moments in those 18's games when he looked shaky against what appeared to be an undersized NZ front row. While he continues to wear 1 on his back everything should...

Jaques & Brial injured. Le Maître is quality but probably had a lesser showing on that day and I think size will continue to be an issue there plus if the likes of Walsh, Jaques etc were there then maybe game plan changes and he’s an option. Not sure what the story is with Poynton - I would have...

Ata guess and by position: Prop: Langi/Hill Hooker: Kruger Lock: Thomson Backrow: Langi 9: Grover 10: Fowler (the younger) Wing: Possibly Hartman Centre: Takai Fullback: Poynton

I think My thoughts were that some (and only some) of the Aus 18's were good and clearly deserved to be there but there is a critical lack of depth in some positions (won;t mention which ones due to the fact it identifies certain boys but safe to say they are largely in key positions) and more...

IMO Goddard should have been in the squad from the beginning. Interesting that four replacements = four Waratahs. Was there nothing at any other franchise across these positions?

Ignoring the above bias towards schools located in Spring Hill a more accurate prediction based on trial results and squad composition (barring any major injuries) would be: NC TGS BBC ACGS TSS GT IGS BSHS BGS
