2017 Under-20 Competitions including Oceania & World U20s

Brumbies u20 squad 15. Alec Sheldon (Uni-Norths)

Interesting to see Alec Sheldon nominated at fullback.

He is little-known even to staunch schoolboy rugby fans in Sydney as he played for Grammar in Sydney GPS rugby, and their 1st XV played against the 3rds of the six big GPS rugby schools.

It says a lot that he was chosen for GPS in 2016 ahead of the eventual Aussie Schools flyhalf, Nick Wilkinson, who was picked at 12 for GPS.

But he was injured in the GPS v CAS trial with a serious knee injury - as he was for his school the year before - and was out of contention for all other rep honours in 2016.

His best efforts in U20s may come next year when he has a full season of healthy rugby under his belt, but he is one to watch.

HTC I can count 7 ex-Queenslander's in the run-on side and it sounds like there maybe a few ex NSW'ers as well? Is there many actually from the ACT born and bred? (This is not your kind of question to answer, but have a crack! ).

 

[The sage]

Yeah I saw him go down and grab his thigh in the tackle just before he went off but it did not look that serious. That said it gives us a good look at what Moseley has to offer?? Looking forward to the game. Go the Brumbies (only because Qld is not playing this w/e).

Angus Allen is from the Riverina (south west NSW) but comes under the ACT banner. He had a season or so playing juniors in NZ (Waikato) than played for the Leeton Phantoms.

Played senior school boy rugby for QLD. TSS

Ok gentlemen, I notice Moseley is in the starting side so I'm gona go brumbies!, just hope the bloke performs well. He be looking for a big comeback so this is his moment to shine and stay there! Yes I recognised a few ex qld boys in the mix. Rebels should have a comfortable win if they consistent on defence. 9 & 10 play well.

Sheldon and Rasch are the only 2 in that list I know went to School in Sydney.

Anyone know what happened to Luke Gerowski (not spelled correctly I know) Aus Schoolboys captain, was listed last week as starting. Not listed this week

 

[Lee Grant]

Anybody got a link to the streaming of the two games on the weekend?

I'm hopeless at finding them and can't see anything on the Tahs website as I read this for the one today, and they are the home team.

I found the Force one last week thanks to help in this thread, but thought I could watch it after the game - as with the Gen Blues v Force stream in Rd 1.

However I got to see only the last ten minutes when I got home and clicked on the link, and couldn't find the other one anywhere.

Can anyone more savvy than me at finding stuff on the internet help?

It's usually found at Rugby.com.au Facebook page. You can also watch the game later there.

Sama Malolo (2) for WA was actually a High Boy for 3 years, playing 1st XV at flanker I believe when he was in year 11.

Though he did leave for Randwick Boys High in year 12 (the year he made it into the Aussie BaaBaas side), us in the High community will claim whatever we can get!

Thanks for that, I'll give that a go.

Just read somewhere that Jooste is playing today, just hope they're not thinking of benching Moseley. If that happens I'll have to change my mind.

Sage they have benched Moseley for Jooste. Please change my stab from Brumbies by 5 to NSW by 12
