Forgot Goldsborough in centres, drop out Jorgensen probably

Good squad! Strong options at 9 and 10 with Martens, Sharples, Nason, and Fowler. Centres look solid with Pakeho, Grover, Fakafanua, and Jorgensen. Fast wings with Palmer, Rubens, Pilot, and Klem, and versatility at 15 with Wilcox and Harvey. Exciting lineup!

Expected one way traffic in the 16s at the moment between NSW and ACT.
They barely look the same age. It’s fairly uncompetitive unfortunately.
Haven’t seen Rat park look this green in a long time.

A lot to like about this 10 for the Tahs. He’s a big unit for this age and can do it all.
I expect someone to tell me he’s playing with the Eels or some shit.

49/0 to NSW
NSW 10, 11, 15 are exceptional. Entire pack is doing there job. Hard for a pig to shine in a game like this.

Issue with these kind of drubbings is that it does little for the development of the team dishing them out. Watching the first half and the Tahs 16s were walking over the gain line and cutting the Brumbies to pieces. In defence they weren't troubled much.

Think the argument has to be made in the 16s that NSW should split and field 2 sides.
Bring them down even a little bit and get at least 2 good games in them v QLD and NSW (other side)

Yeah, there's surely another teams worth of players in NSW that are capable of providing more competition at this level.

Very rough start by NSW here but ACT playing with real grit and keeping it simple giving them the early lead.
Brums giving the ball back to NSW to march back into their half and eventually scoring.
Sid Harvey looks like he could be anything in a couple years time.
Ref is a tedious one at set piece but it’s a free for all at ruck time…

Brumbies doing EVERYTHING right.
Tahs clunky and disorganised. Dillon best player on the field atm. Putting outside backs away.

What a showing by the Brums.
Forwards stifled NSW at every moment not letting anyone outside 12 do anything for NSW.
Dillon pulled the strings to perfection,
Gotta be a few side eyes amongst NSW admin that he was named for NSW initially then you assume let go play for ACT when they asked/picked.

Half the game spent resetting the scrum

I wouldn’t think anyone’s coming off the ground particularly exhausted. Plenty of rest.
The rucks for me was the mess. It went both ways equally at least but they were a mess

Bonus point win for the Brumbies and no BP for the tahs means they're up against it to miss the finals:
-Brumbies finish on 15 points (bye next week)
-Reds are on 5 points with 2 to play (against the Force and Rebels), for a max of 15 which is likely
-tahs currently on 9 with only one game left for a maximum of 14
Reds need to win twice with bonus points to guarantee it, but based on the Brumbies and tahs results against the Rebels and Force that shapes as more likely than not. If they can do it tomorrow against the Force that will be most of the challenge sorted.

ACT Brumbies U19s Match Report
The U19s would start red-hot as they looked to dethrone the Waratahs at home, in just one minute of play the Brumbies would manage to nab a beautifully executed five pointer as number 10 Joe Dillon floated a pass over to winger Silas Pilot for the opening score on the right touchline.
Following their opening try, the Brumbies would then camp themselves on their own defensive line having to withstand an attacking onslaught by the Waratahs. After countless brave efforts from the ACT side they finally turned away the home side to escape their own 22. After a relentless 10 minutes, the Brumbies finally would have a scrum penalty to get the ball in hand once again.
In the 22nd minute the Waratahs would break the stalemate through number eight Eamon Doyle crashing over the line just one phase after a line break up the right sideline. Following a conversion by Sid Harvey, Waratahs would take a narrow 7-5 lead.
The two point lead would be a short lived advantage for the Waratahs however as the ACT boys would respond almost immediately, heading up the other end of the field and setting up a long-lasting rolling maul. The effort would prove a perfect setup for Lipina Ata to show his brute strength and barrel over the line leaving multiple blue jerseys in his wake.
In the 31st minute, Lachlan Smith would put his pure pace to work, darting upfield 40 metres and looking certain to score before a Waratahs Brendan Palmer would make the tackle but fail to release the ball and receive a yellow card for his troubles. Capitalising on the advantage, the Brumbies would score in the very next play through recently signed top-grader Shane Wilcox summing up a short side with a try of his own.
The visitors would continue to make the most of their one-man advantage with a second try to Wilcox in the 40th minute after slick hands in the mid-field sent the fullback away once again. Converted by Sam McLachlan the Brumbies would head into half-time with a 22-7 lead.
In the 47th minute the Waratahs would cross through winger Tom Klem in the right corner making the most of early possession from a scrum.
The 52nd minute is where the Brumbies tireless work would pay off once again, after pinning the Tahs' in their own end Bailey Buesnel would manage a charge down before recollecting the ball and strolling the remaining 15 metres to score. Converted again by McLachlan the ACT side would lead 29-14 after 53 minutes of play.
Buesnel's effort would prove the final blow in a 29-14 win in Sydney.

Brilliant to watch a genuine playmaker like Dillon do their thing. I’ve seen him do it for years and been looked over for the prototype athletic distributer 10 by many.
Give a guy like that a platform and some weapons and he’ll pull you apart.
