Will be tough escpecially after a strong IGS performance defeating TGS pretty convincing

I feel like he has worded this wrong as I feel as though he meant something more along the lines of that the college is fresh off of a loss so they will be hungry for a win whereas IGS might become a little bit complacent as they are fresh off of a convincing win against TGS. So if BBC can start hot i feel like they may be able to catch IGS off guard early and hold momentum to win the game.

The BBC Rugby program is second to none. The coaching staff will definitely have a plan to bounce back this week.

Both sides have star studded back lines so the difference in the game in my opinion is how well each team controls the rucks and how IGS can unlock Tyson walker and James Grey. Whereas BBC will need to get it to Gun inside centre frank howarth and how they involve him in the game. Possesion is key in this games

That is exactly right mate, and from what i've heard, BBC's Fullback Nate Barnett won't shy away from a challenge. Dark Horse of the game.

Quite frankly, I don't understand all this BBC slander within the forum, although they have had a rough start to the season, the only lost by 1 try to a well oiled and premiership contending state high team, without a doubt in my mind they will be able to bounce back not only due to their good team, but the depth they have in the program cannot go unnoticed

Although Finn and James have quite the names for themselves, Andreas has the determination of Tiger hunting prey. He was in the 16B's last year, and to make it to this stage it sure must take some serious skill. I think he is fit for the matchup. And having Frank Howarth on his inside is almost like having Payne Haas in the backline. Outstanding. Pure Muscle, speed, and grit.

The X-factor is simply just there for the swish, BBC unfortunately don't got that.

BBC centers have the physicallity over IGS whereas it will be hard to contain there speed and if James grey gets any room to move he will use his rapid pace to his advantage. IGS centers will find it very hard to take down 6'3 Frank howarth

I feel as though BBC will be able to win the centre battle as the experience of Frank Howarth in the GPS comp and the experience of Andreas Ayache in the melbourne competition. I feel as though it is this experience that will give the college the upper hand.

If you get a chance, you must watch the 14A's for Nudgee. Played only one half against TSS last week and ran through them with 8 tries. They have the brother of Rob 'Razor' Toia in the form of Mana Toia. They have the brother of Ex-First15 player, Will Heaton. They have the biggest fullback for u14 I have ever seen, who would be edging on 7ft in the form of Tane Crampton. Despite my exaggeration of these guys, honestly, they play a great brand of footy, and would encourage you all to have a gheez if you cna.

@rugby.jacko It will certainly be interesting to see how Churchie shape up against Nudgee this week. Key player and fullback Treyvon Pritchard making a return for the blue and grey will certainly assist in bolstering their chances. Furthermore, Nudgee is going without dangerous fly half Charlie O'connell (blue card) as well as inside centre Carter Welfare. Keen to see how replacement 10 Archie Mesritz fairs. However, if last weekends demolition against TSS is anything to go off, I wouldn't be surprised to see another 45 point deficit going Nudgee's way.

Is Archie Mesritz under 16s or opens, either way I'm excited to see him play hopefully he can fill the role of Charlie O'connell! Seems like Churchie Vs Nudgee might be the game to watch this weekend...

I think games between IGS v BBC and TSS v TGS will be more off a closer outcome and worth the watch. Archie is Opens aswell played seconds last week

Good to hear from some familiar forum patrons
My predictions for tomorrow's games:
TGS V TSS - After a big loss last week, TSS will be primed for a big performance on old boys day in front of a rowdy home crowd at Southport. However, TGS after 2 straight losses will be even more hungry. I see this game being an absolute grind with some late tries for both squads. TGS for me are the harder working team, with the likes of Joey Gray and Tom Bailey in the backrow. I think TGS get the win here in a very entertaining battle
TGS 24 - TSS 17/MOTM: Tom Bailey (TGS)
BBC V IGS - At Brassal this game will be a good one. A great centres battle with Finn Kendall and James Grey facing up against Frank Howarth and newly imported Andres Ayache. I personally think IGS will give BBC a great run for their money, however after a loss last weekend i would be very surprised to see a 2nd competition front runner open their campaigns with 2 straight losses (TGS already begun 0-2).
BBC 26 - IGS 14/MOTM: Gray O'neill (BBC)
GT V BGS - Gregory Terrace have a bit of momentum heading into tomorrow's battle against BGS up at Northgate, after taking down ACGS in a surprise victory at home in round 2. BGS have had a while to prepare for this matchup, but the late injury to young gun inside centre Harper Enasio leaves a big whole for BGS to fill. Max Romer is back from injury this week which adds another layer of depth to the backline. But nonetheless a big loss for this inexperienced BGS team. I see Saia Poese exploiting this throughout the game well. Even without Oliver Nasser, GT should get the win. Conditions will be challenging with 14km/h winds at kickoff time, which will allow BGS to play their style of footy, similar to that of England's international team. A grind is what this Grammar squad wants, full of kicking and errors to stem the momentum of Terrace's spark out wide. I still see Terrace winning this game in a closer result than most would expect.
GT 26 - BGS 18/MOTM: Charlie Hollyman (GT)
NC V ACGS - Nudgee are without key playmaker Charlie O'connell which will without a doubt impact their cohesiveness as a unit. Alongside 'Chuck' on the sidelines will be Carter Welfare who scored an impressive double whilst assisting on a length of the field special late in the game last weekend. Nudgee's reshuffled backline will rely on 2 year players such as Sam Watson, Nick Conway and Jacob Johnson. Big news for Churchie is that Treyvon Pritchard is back. This completely changes the game for Churchie. Call me crazy, but i see an absolute masterclass from the likes of Blanch, Austin and Pritchard in front of a packed home ground down at East Brisbane. I reckon each of them scores a try of their own, and this will ultimately get ACGS over the hump against a heavily injured NC team.
ACGS 34 - NC 28/MOTM: Treyvon Pritchard (ACGS)
Cheers lads
