    RWC 2015 Final - Australia v New Zealand, Twickenham, Sunday 1 November, 3:00 AEDT

    No it does not. It didn't count in 2003, so I don't think it'd count this weekend.

    QLD GPS Rugby 2014

    The light dark blue line-up next year is looking far more dependable than this year's. Although there were some strong spots in the 2013 team they were let down by an inconsistent halves partnership that lacked chemistry, unstable leadership and the season-ending injury to Patrick Morrey...

    QLD GPS Rugby 2013

    I'm not so sure. Returning in 2014 will be Lachlan Lanskey, Tom Sly, Patrick Dooley from the starting line up, with fringe players Eddie McCorley, Matt Forsyth, Nyoah Rosmarin and Harry Egan also returning. Not a whole lot of experience there. 1. No depth at prop. Likely to see two new...

    It's against the spirit of the game. Terrace are always respectful when opposition kickers are taking shots at goal. I'm a Grammar boy and even I can acknowledge that. To see a professional rugby player like Sautia deliberately attempt to throw someone off their game is disappointing.

    QLD GPS Rugby 2013

    Congratulations to Churchie on a solid display of Rugby on the weekend at Northgate. The game was a real contest with Outside Centre Isaiah Perese proving the difference in a dominant display. Grammar just couldn't contain him as he ran through the line time and time again. It was pretty clear...

    Stop being a dickhead. Injuries have plagued Grammar all year. It happens. BBC won, BGS lost. Big deal.

    This is wrong. Tighthead prop Stuart McReight went down with a concussion and was about to be replaced with 16As player Lucas Ryles. Then he was switched with Tom Spencer (playing at blindside) instead. Tom Spencer has been playing front row all year. This is the first match he's played in the...

    QLD GPS Rugby 2013

    Very disappointing to see Grammar's fall from grace this year. They've descended quickly from a side that looked like contenders with a narrow, hard-fought loss against Nudgee in the 2012 Grand Final rematch, to a side who look to be fighting it out for this year's wooden spoon. Whilst the loss...

    Marsden rested, not injured. Kemp unfortunately missed this weekends game due to family commitments. I'd say all will be back next week.

    QLD GPS Rugby 2013

    Completely agreed, the movement of the QLD GPS season to post-National Championships and the associated trials has rendered selection largely a matter of reputation. My status as a Grammar supporter will undoubtedly see many regard this post as jingoistic bias, but a clear highlight of this can...

    Is it possible that NSW are just better than QLD?

    QLD GPS Rugby 2013

    I'd say BGS will play consistently but won't perform to last year's standards. Emtage and Gardner are phenomenal coaches and whilst some star players are returning, the loss of Greene, Birch, Blackhurst, Gilbert, Radford, Starr-Thomas etc. (the most underrated player in BGS' squad- if he hadn't...

    QLD Schools - Trial Games and Selections 2013

    Agreed, Knockers. I was personally shocked to see both Fielea and Cox miss out on selection for either QLD 1 or 2. I thought Fielea was the dominant inside centre in last year's GPS competition (with the exception of Jack Tuttle). Against BGS he looked like he would tear the defensive line open...

    QLD GPS Rugby 2013

    Lakehm Aiono (looshead prop), Michael Murray (hooker), Stuart McReight (tighthead prop), Dalton Cox, (lock), Patrick Morrey (openside flanker), Fergus Halliday (scrumhalf/flyhalf) and Matt Marsden (winger/fullback) have all been selected from BGS to compete at GPS trials this Saturday at...
