Saw him play at Scots - looked more like a loosehead prop / hooker to me. Could help his career as we always need big slabs of beef in the production line.

He is nowhere near big enough at the moment for either of those positions

He's having a joke because of his bulk.

He looked too big in his last year of Schools Rugby. Gym big over it him seeming fit.

Jacques seems like a Fullback to me. Maybe as he fills out a 13 but a 15 with his athleticism.

He is pretty adaptable. Could play 13 or 15 easily, even wing. He's a jet. Seen him play both 13 and 15 at schools and he was a standout in both.

no not joking - perhaps it was because he was at school - and being compared to other school kids, but he did look a bit frontrowerish.

He was definitely "bulky" in years 10 and 11 as he developed a head of the others. when he played for tahs u16s he looked a monster (well he was, he was plus 100kgs). Others have caught up now and he is definitely not bulky enough to be considered a top flight forward.

If he was he'd be playing Lock for the Roosters.

does anyone know the ticket details for the Super Rugby AU matches

Festival of Rugby ones v the Reds are online.

Others are team dependent at this stage it seems. Brumbies have theirs online

 

[Uh huh]

does anyone know the ticket details for the Super Rugby AU matches

Bought tickets yesterday for the Reds vs Brums at Ballymore. The ARU, QRU and Ticketek websites all have different starting times. Kick-off is somewhere between 1 and 3pm lol

Does that depend on 16s 19s games on some of the same days?

 

[rugbyAU]

I can't find anything on the Force game at Pittwater

It is Super Oz with Under 19s on undercard (Curtin raiser) and Under 16's separate a fortnight later with 5 teams (Vic included)
