I know it's been mentioned a fair bit, but Gill looked a lively sort but looks like he needs to be a little bigger for the S14.
He could make it in the S14 on heart but test rugby is another matter. He's only 86kgs with a light frame and will probably struggle to put on much even though he's still only 17. If he weighed the same as McCaw he could have been McCaw no.2 as he resembles the great All Black in the way he plays the position.
Good to see Eddie Quirk playing 7s this year as it is just what he needs. He was a hot head when I saw him play schools rugby. He got a red card once and the first thing he did in the next game he played was to give somebody an unwanted coat hanger across the chops. 7s refs are precious when it comes to rough play and it looks like Eddie has mended his ways.
On the semi-final: it looked like men against boys in both 7 skills and physique but good on them for getting that far as they did in LV IIRR.
Sills is out but he was electrifying early in the year. He's as fast as a greyhound but built like one too. He's still playing Colts as he's not robust enough for grade yet and not really a footie player either. But watch this space.
