That is a nice returning group, however they don’t win this year (or last weekend) without Howarth and to a lesser extent Gordon , so it will be interesting to see if any of these can can take the step up.

With the 5 new faces in Nudge 15 A -and the strength of 16 A -it is frightening. They are moving out of sight.

What time are the matches this Friday ??
Just thinking back to the IGS v NC round, NC 15A and 16A teams won by only 3 and 5 points respectively at Nudgee - does that suggest IGS may be able to put some pressure on NC over the next two years. Or is that just a leap to far?

That is not unusual for IGS.
But when they get to opens and they do not have a 3rds-then injuries cause depth issues.
You will see from last 3 years for example that IGS 1st xv always starts well -but as season goes on they go downhill as they cant cover injuries.
Have they not lost last 3 in a row?
Their 14 A team is brilliant -but no B team.

Churchie U15 have gone undefeated this year too I think bar a loss in a trial game. Would have been good to see them play NC to see how they stack up

Was looking at youtube highlights and came across some interesting interviews with players like Howarth and Samuela. I'm not sure who the interviewers are but there seem to be more BBC interviews than any others (e.g. Xavier Savage, Howart, Jack Bowen Boyer, Lucas Ripley). Interesting to hear their perspectives on GPS rugby, how they were recruited etc.

just remember these are 17-18 year old school kids so quite unpolished.

I think another interesting match this week will be Terrace vs Ipswich. Both came very close to beating TSS and seem to have been a bit of a handful for all of the better teams this season. I'm personally backing Terrace, but Ipswich are always capable of winning a match when they put their heads to it. Both teams will be gunning to finsih the season with one last win too, as they both only have a handful under their belts.

A lot of people talking ACGS up this year-it will be very interesting v NC. I say NC by 20.
It will be fitting if BBC win well tomorrow -they are the only school not to lose a trial or a match-and lets face it the trials were real matches -certainly that R1 match between TSS v NC- that i was at -was treated as a real match. As was the r2 matches.

Hey Countryjack. I haven’t seen too many people talking up Churchie. Whilst they have been reliable for a contest, (apart from the red card jokes at Gt,)Nudgee have been the more solid outfit and should have an easy finish to the season running over the top of a smaller pack , with Churchie’s less fleet footed backs. Nudgee forward pack have in my opinion , still not come up against a truely well drilled pack and that has been the secret of Churchie s success. Still their well drilled pack , will not be sufficient and Nudgee should run away with it. They should be brimming with confidence.
It would only be if Churchie decides to dish out Another stubborn viking spirited, Jack “loss” style shock defeat to Nudgee , but on main oval, i think that magnificent playing surface of that ground ( hats off to the groundsman for the finest playing surface other than maybe the Gabba in Qld ) plays right into the hands of the Nudgee backs and at the 60 min mark they should have a field day.
Still something tells me there is some surprises left in this season with one round left. I won’t write the Vikings off but expect an easy Nudgee win. Congrats BBC- at least I can say that with certainty.
