Agreed. Backs have great depth across all positions it seems. U20s won't have the biggest backline but skill and speed aplenty. Prop and backrow stocks look good too, probably second row and hooker wide open.

Agree. Veiru (6), Grover (13) and Harvey (15) best for the Tahs. King (3) and Martins (9) for the Reds. Gillon (Reds 4) and Doyle (Tahs 8) seemed to be in attendance at nearly every ruck. Big engines for big fellas. Likely rematch at Ballymore in 2 weeks for the final. If Reds can sort out...

Can’t believe you left Nathan Cleary off the list …

Solid Waratahs u19 performance over Rebels 78-20. Hard to make much of it all till they play QLD and Brumbies. Again, the outside backs, especially Grover and Palmer, were just way too quick and skilful. Absolutely electric. Forwards just too fit for the Rebels who had some big bodies that...

Ryan is definitely a good player. Probably more all-round skills than Durbidge, but Durbidge's pilfering skills are just next level. The other Brumbies backrower who looks the goods is Beau Morrison, who is rangy and quick. Next years Wallabies U20 will have no shortage of talent and skills to...

Or ..... Colts is U20 and this is an U19 team. Maybe all the Gordon Colts stars are U20 and not U19? Gordon actually got 6 in U19s the extended squad of 35, including some who either play seconds colts or play 1sts off the bench. Also, Aden Ekanayake is ineligible due to Aus 7's. Be keen to...

Easts Colts have very good cohesion and have had majority of the team have played every game together this year and will deserve top spot. Even if uni found a way to win well, Easts will hold top spot based on more wins. Uni have chopped and changed all season with players up and down to grade...

Wasn't Peter Horne's old job to write the rules for World Rugby? If anyone knows they weren't followed it'd be him. Nice sentiment, but Buckley's of getting a favourable response.

Thanks Desmond. The irony of you calling out someone who has called out someone else for openly criticising 18 and 19 year kids multiple times online hasn't been lost on me. Free speech and all that. Consider me suitably chastised. Everyone is indeed entitled to their opinion on a Rugby forum...

Steve Grey criticising the Junior Wallabies / Waratahs Academy players ( especially backrow-second row) yet again on any thread going. There’s a shock. Just tell us who your boy is so we can keep an eye on him ourselves and make our own minds up if he should be there.

Hard to know what to make of that game. First half with the wind the JWB’s were poor and error strewn, scrum in trouble, missed lineouts and some of the outside backs kicked away or dropped possession. Cordukes was playing well till his red card. Second half they were very good. Sawyers and HMP...

From the article: Holloway's next destination is yet to be finalised, with the main options being the US and France. "It's a new challenge which is nerve wracking but I am excited for it," he said. "I'm really happy they have allowed me to go out on my terms, as opposed to linger here when my...

Jon Geddes in Rugby News reporting today that Holloway is off next season to either France or US. I would have thought he'd be a keeper in our current dilemma? Can't blame him I suppose if not in the Wallabies wider squad.

There are 9 changes from the Rugby Championship squad for the final squad for the U20 World Championships: OUT: Gray, Fowler, Palu, Philipson, Tipene-Grace, Daniels, Liddy, Rubens, Tiitii IN: Nelson, Pritchard, King, Thygesen, Saunders, Doyle, Dillon, Finau Long term Injured/Unavailable: L...

Isi pinged his hammy and went off in the first 10mins unfortunately. He hasn’t played a lot this year but such a great ball carrier. Uni probably playing 18 year olds at 8-9-10 this week vs Easts.

Reads like grammar has already defeated you.

Geez Bob, it made me wonder what soon-to-be adult aged kids I might have out there... Uni certainly throwing a lot of kids in at the deep end recently. One of the props yesterday, Jackson Stiel, is only 19. I thought both he and the kid in the second row were pretty good but I'm a former winger...

Waratahs A good in the first half and scrappy at the end following mass subs (a lot of Shute Shield players not usually with the Waratahs getting a game and came on – none would have helped their cause of impressing the coaching staff) with the Woodies getting the last 3 tries against the run of...

Squad members been saying that Jorgensen has been stepping in at training at first receiver a lot in the past 12 months whilst returning from knee and ankle injuries. The brains trust see his ability to transition 10/15 like Damian McKenzie in the future. Left field as it seems, I would not be...
