    Round 16 - Reds vs Waratahs - Saturday 2 June - 7:45pm @ Suncorp

    He may have been a 7 at some stage, but he played 10 for Toowoomba against Newington in a trial game in 2015, and by all accounts was one of their best, along with Harry Hoopert at LH. I don’t know if he played 10 all that year, but he certainly played 10 in the Queensland U20s team after he...

    U20s WC

    Anyone know if tonight’s game against Japan is being televised? I couldn’t find it in the Foxtel program.

    Not my son - not even a close relative ......just a damn good player. My sons are preparing for Grade games at Forshaw this week. But it was a clever response, BH.....

    He’s getting paid handsomely to holiday in the south of France & watch a bit of rugby - the ‘energy’ he brings does nothing but dumb everything down.

    Why - haven't you ever heard him?

    U20s WC

    Have seen a number of these efforts involving Foley and Folau in Super rugby, and at least in those games the commentators credit the kicker for the lead up as well as the acrobatics at the end.

    U20s WC

    The quality of the call was poor in the first half, before he lost his voice, and was just as bad in the second - he sounded like he’d been on the turps.

    After watching the U20s game this morning, I have to say that Sean Moloney is the reigning champion of crap commentators - his commentary is amateurish, ill-informed and disrespectful - these young blokes are among the best rugby players in the world in their age-group, and he can’t even be...

    U20s WC

    And further to my comment about Moloney’s commentary - not once did I hear him mention the person who actually put up the kick that led to that amazing try. If Bayley Kuenzle’s kick hadn’t been spot on, there wouldn’t have been a try.

    U20s WC

    I thought there were some glimpses of good play but have to agree with others that that the appalling handling and lack of go forward from the pack really made it hard to get into good positions. There were good scoring opportunities on either wing but I still can’t work out if it was poor...

    Shute Shield 2017

    Hard to imagine that there would have been too much technology required to catch this. Open eyes and mind would have been enough Apparently Angus Gardner thought that this was a 'good tackle'?!? Any decent referee would have recognised that this was a blatant piece of foul play and given the...

    Sydney Colts - 2017

    It's one thing to forfeit 3rd Grade Colts but to wait until 24hrs before the games to pull out of the 1st and 2nd Grade Colts fixtures is piss-weak in the extreme. Not only have they deprived the Souths boys of the rare opportunity to showcase their skills in front of the Grade players and...

    Sydney Colts - 2017

    Souths won 1st and 2nd Grade Colts but went down in 3rd Grade. The 1st Grade game was a very physical affair, with Souths taking control in pretty much every aspect of the game. The Souths pack are big and mobile, and their pick and drives and off-loads allowed them to consistently get over the...

    Sydney Colts - 2017

    While many of the clubs might envy Buildcorp Rugby's money, facilities and full-time staff, I can't imagine too many of them would envy your so-called 'culture'. I know we don't!
