    U20s WC

    Give up Joe James there’s no point arguing with ignorance- once again NZ are showing what a National team looks like with the best picked from around the whole country - not just one province. Arguing with Qlders is like arguing with my wife. No matter how right you are you’ll never be right.

    U20s WC

    From my knowledge both have not played at all this year . They both played half a game in Oceania and their form was ordinary at best. Its impossible to play at that level if you haven't been playing games. They didn't pick themselves though - it was the coach and selectors- and maybe a shove...

    U20s WC

    I think the problem stems from 2017 when Cron, the 2017 Aus 20s coach and rebels assistant coach, catapulted Goddard (who was at the Rebels and sat on several Super Rugby benches) above Nucifora and Strang for the Aus 20s halfback spot in the world champs. Both Strang and Nucifora had been...

    Australian Rugby / RA

    ARUs Recipe for Mediocrity Ben Whitaker, entrusted the U20s Australian selection process to a Queensland selector and coach, and to nobody’s surprise was duped, resulting in a National team dominated by past Queensland schoolboys. For Queensland to have equal numbers with the rest of the country...

    Under-20 Competitions including Oceania & World U20s

    It is very interesting that 1. Harrison and McTaggert were standouts in this Tongan match 2. Both are from NSW and were originally left out of the 32 man squad only to be brought in when Super Rugby took Reds boys away 3. Six Super rugby players played in the Aus 20 s team v Tonga and while they...

    Under-20 Competitions including Oceania & World U20s

    To Ben Whitaker ARU How did Phoenix Hunt, an 18 year old Nudgee college QLD boy in 2017 get the call up for the U20s National side. 1. Only 6 months ago he was picked as the 4th best halfback in the 2017 National schoolboys behind Seamus Smith ACT (starting half back Australian...

    Under-20 Competitions including Oceania & World U20s

    Aussie 20s team to play FIJI As expected the QLD State U20s side under the guise of Australian U20s to play Fiji has been named. Of course there has been a few token NSWelshmen and Brumbie boys thrown into the mix in a lame attempt to call this a National side. It may be cynical to say as both...

    Under-20 Competitions including Oceania & World U20s

    So what you are saying is this because Im just trying to get it clear because it seems absurd 1. QLD boys have been sent to other states so that they can be chosen in the Aus u20s team 2. Our National team is 60% QLD, 25%NSW and 15%ACT - NO VIC or WA 3.IN 2016 NSW I played NSW II in grand final...
