It looks like the Suburban Colts had a dominant performance! A 68-17 win with 10 tries to 3 against the Country Colts is pretty impressive. Must have been quite a game!
Pretty sure they were wound up at the end of the financial yearWho owns the Melbourne Rebels IP at the moment?
MRRU haven't officially wound up yet right?
However, the Melbourne Rebels continue to operate under the current structure, with no official announcements regarding the winding up of MRRU at the end of the financial year. If any major changes happen, it will likely be made public via official channels like Rugby Australia or the club itself.Pretty sure they were wound up at the end of the financial year
Yeah, it’s frustrating to see Gordon's success not reflected in the U19 NSW team selections. You’d think a team that performed so well throughout the season—beating USYD twice and pushing Easts to the edge—would have more representation.Great to see some Gordon Players in the U19 NSW team. NOT!
How can a team come 2nd in the competiton
Beating USYD twice
Randwick 3 teams
And having 2 narrow loses to Easts until the grand final.
Yet there’s 6 uni players , 5 from the beasties and 4 from Randwick.
is this the tahs not being able to select outside of their eastern suburbs bubble you tell me?
Or ..... Colts is U20 and this is an U19 team. Maybe all the Gordon Colts stars are U20 and not U19?Great to see some Gordon Players in the U19 NSW team. NOT!

Sounds more like the case that Colts is U20 - and the U20s were a very strong this year, with a number coming through keeping some U19s from last year out of the starting line-ups at the pointy end of the season. Gordon U20s players [mainly forwards?] were certainly strong, but no match for Easts U20s at the end of the season.Or ..... Colts is U20 and this is an U19 team. Maybe all the Gordon Colts stars are U20 and not U19?
Gordon actually got 6 in U19s the extended squad of 35, including some who either play seconds colts or play 1sts off the bench. Also, Aden Ekanayake is ineligible due to Aus 7's. Be keen to hear which Gordon U19s eligible Colts you thinks should be picked over those in the named team.
None if you have read Amanda Lulham’s column in the Daily Telegraph.Or ..... Colts is U20 and this is an U19 team. Maybe all the Gordon Colts stars are U20 and not U19?

As a Easts supporter who would you pick out of the Gordon Boys?Sounds more like the case that Colts is U20 - and the U20s were a very strong this year, with a number coming through keeping some U19s from last year out of the starting line-ups at the pointy end of the season.

"Be keen to hear which Gordon U19s eligible Colts you thinks should be picked over those in the named team" - also intersted to know which U19s from Gordon may have lost out. Looks like the U19 Easts players were Colts 1s players.
The Gordon Front Five - how many were U20 rather than U19 though?As a Easts supporter who would you pick out of the Gordon Boys?
There's the [Forwards] U19 selection answer then, if 7 out of 8 Gordon Forwards were U20. Looks like Easts had 4 U19s in their pack.
7 Going of team list and intern
7 were U19.The Gordon Front Five - how many were U20 rather than U19 though?7
Ah - you answered it differently to the question - well that is curious then as #1 #2 #4 and #5 were strong, #6 and #8 were relatively weaker. Similar happened last year when the U19 side was Sydney Uni centric.7 were U19.
No 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 16 & 28
Ryan is definitely a good player. Probably more all-round skills than Durbidge, but Durbidge's pilfering skills are just next level. The other Brumbies backrower who looks the goods is Beau Morrison, who is rangy and quick. Next years Wallabies U20 will have no shortage of talent and skills to choose from, but not that many big bodies though, which has been a recurring problem in recent years. Here's hoping some emerge through this tournament.One to watch for the Brums is Jono Ryan. NSW have gone with Durbidge but this guy was as good through Gen Blue as him IMO.
