Reds will be disappointed to have missed the BP vs Waratahs; but I sense the Brumbies too strong.
BR I haven't seen the Brumbies 19s play, is Staniforth as good as his stats suggest (2nd in the comp for tries, carries, clean breaks, metres gained and 3rd for defenders beaten) or simply a beneficiary of what sounds like an excellent backline?10 - Cullen Grey, plays for Western Districts (Bernie Larkham's old club) in the JID Cup.

An excellent player with exceptional pace - possibly the fastest player in the competition. He certainly benefits from being on the end of a well functioning backline but also has the skills and footwork to beat defenders one on one. Just hope the Brumbies have him locked in, along with quite a few of his team mates.BR I haven't seen the Brumbies 19s play, is Staniforth as good as his stats suggest (2nd in the comp for tries, carries, clean breaks, metres gained and 3rd for defenders beaten) or simply a beneficiary of what sounds like an excellent backline?
He is a very special talent. Will be interesting to observe he and Max Jorgensen's battles for the 15 jersey in future years.BR I haven't seen the Brumbies 19s play, is Staniforth as good as his stats suggest (2nd in the comp for tries, carries, clean breaks, metres gained and 3rd for defenders beaten) or simply a beneficiary of what sounds like an excellent

Anyone know who is coaching this U19s side? They are well drilled and play an expansive attacking game.
