Noticed Starkey and N Kellaway missing from the NSW team sheet, one is a centre and the other a backrower/lock that should provide adequate cover if required you would think, especially if Kellaway is back on form as suggested by @newbie from Saturday's game?

Any ideas why he wasn't in the side today?

I don't think the injuries are serious - perhaps a minor AC or just bruising, same for hip. Noticed a few corked thighs. I don't think the starting lineup will change to be honest. As mentioned earlier, most look to be in the 'niggle' range and some ice, heat, Physio and strapping will do wonders.

Croke didn't play on Saturday; so he replaced NK today.

Yassmin wasn't in the 23 on Saturday; he took the place of Starkey on the bench.

Ouch. Fiji just scored two converted tries in 5 mins up the left wing.
Score now Fiji 17 v QLD 8.
3 mins left in 1st half.
QLD look tired. Fiji look energised.

As we are in only the second iteration of this tournament, I'll doff my cap to the folk in Canberra with their finger on the pulse. Maybe the usual tournament rules from National Schoolboys, requiring each lad to get a starting game, don't apply. Thompson and fellow selectors have probably seem all of the 3 squads numerous times over the past 6 months, and maybe want to see how the first choice lads do with short turnaround tournament play, more than giving all a prize.

For many a gig at Jnr World Cup is the start of a professional rugby career, and there selections there are based entirely on performance (and injury status!). Perhaps it's time for the real world.

I reckon that all the young men in Canberra are fairly realistic about their chances and there will not be too many dummy spits from the players or their connections that they "travelled all this way and I (or My Precious Darling) didn't get any game time".

Never a good thing to allow a Fijian team to get their nose in front. They are typically a confidence team and can play absolutely sublime football when their confidence is up.

Look out Queensland.

QLD score near the posts- good build up in forwards and about a dozen ruck and mauls after a couple of full arm penalties to QLD taken as scrums.
QLD 22 v Fiji 17.

Nick Kellaway had some sort of injury after Saturday's game. Suspect he's off to rest him up for Wed v QLD, given how well he's been playing.
