Fainga'a offf with Country and Radike not playing. Paia'aua comes in for Matty Gordon, I'm guessing to provide a bit more of an attacking option (although I though Gordon ran well on Sunday).

Watch out for MacLean Jones on the side of the scrum. Big hitter.

Country will be hoping that Hanson isn't playing. Like last week with the inclusion of Fainga'a, Hanson will singlehandedly dominate through the middle of that scrum. Waiting game for QLD Country

Few established Super Rugby players in that country team.

On the performance of both teams last week this could be a good 'un. Pair of quality front rows, enough Super Players to ensure some good structure, both have some dynamic backs and a good halves pairing.

Already said I couldn't seen many S15 guys in Country. I'm not seeing too many in the Stars either. Though Hansen is easily worth the (low) admission price.

But that could just add to the interest with the level of up n comers on display. Looking forward to it. I'll be bringing two mates. Three to add to the crowd. :)

It's not dominated, but it's a sprinkling.

JJT, CFS, Paia’aua, Greene, Gale and Fa'agase all played Super Rugby this year, Tuttle and Mafi are signed for next year.

Tilse, Hanson, Dennis, McCutcheon, Stewart are Kingston were all contracted players this season as well, plus Gus played in 13 & 14, and Coolican is an international for the States.

It's not Super B whichever way you put it, but there's a lot of players who've been in and around high quality set ups before, performing to good standards or simply have a lot of potential

Henry Clunies-Ross is also a Waratah (2015) not sure about next year. Tom Robertson is signed to Tahs Eps, Sandell, Gordon and Harry Jones are on transition contracts at the Tahs for next year. And I think Phillip has been in Tahs training squad before too. All up 7 Super players plus 4 for next year. 1 former Tahs training member and 1 USA Eagle.

There's some exciting young players with a tonne of potential in the QC (Quade Cooper) team that will hopefully lift Queensland rugby out of the doldrums over the next few years as they mature into seasoned professional players.

The Stars have some grizzly pro players wearing single digits who will be out to show the young bucks why they are the Alpha Males of the Herd, and what the young'uns need to do to attain that status.

In the Hairdressing Department, both teams are lacking experienced pros, and there will be more risks taken and flair attempted than on display at World Skills 2015.

If Referee Cooper lets the game flow and judiciously plays advantage, the purists may not like it but there will be plenty of points scored in a fast paced but rather inaccurate game.

Should be a cracker to watch on the Tele.

Weather is looking fine, a few clouds but nothing too sinister..

Is there anywhere to park at the ground? I might just watch it from home.

Driving from the eastern suburbs to the inner west during peak hour isn't an exciting experience.
