RugbyWA announce 32-man State 16's & 19's squads
Good to see recent Western Force recruit, Oliver Cummins (NSW Scots College) playing for the WA U19s.

Not sure of the exact mechanics of it but I know NSW call it 'Gen Blue' for theirs but I hope it's all heading towards a system with U16s, 19s then A teams under the existing professional banner as a way of developing talent in the national interest.
Will take some play nice attitude between organisations which isn't how we do it here but it feels like a good start.

u19 WAR v REB. Both teams were previously undefeated.
38-27 to the Waratahs. But 5 tries each!
Rebels certainly held their own, dominated often, and had quite a few players outshine their NSW counterparts.
Rebels no. 10 seems like a very smart rugby player. Knew how to set his outside players up with good kicking and passing into space. No. 12 also a real handful.
But here's the thing. According to the commentators, at least 8 Rebels players will still be u19 again next year.
The value of this comp is that it will help to keep players in the pathway by allowing them rep honours, exposing them to a more competitive level, better coaching, and better team-mates to play alongside. It's great to feel like you're on the journey towards Super Rugby together.
The biggest issue facing the Rebels and Force Super Rugby teams is that they need to build their team from the ground up, with players playing together through the juniors. And this comp is a small, but important step in that direction.
