NSWRU, NSWJRU and SRU are facilitating the formation of the Western Sydney Barbarians to enable the young Rugby players from the west to continue their Rugby journey. Their first game will be this Saturday, May 5th vs Eastern Suburbs at Lidcombe Park where the team will wear jerseys provided by...

This point is something that they can control... spread the contracted players across all clubs and plant some Waratahs out west. The optics alone will boost regos in both senior and junior ranks.

It is a cliche but Norths didn't have any passengers, every player had close to their best game of year. If i had to pick one would have been Crotti at prop packing down against an all NSW front row. For Uni Poolman and Breen caught the eye.

Don't know about a grudge match because of an ex-grade coach? He left grade on good terms as far as i know and to be honest i doubt that any of the Norths colts even know who he is. Norths had a few out also... they just wanted it more and completed their chances. Uni did score 5 tries to 4 but...

Some do - But a few also land closer at Camperdown :(

But the real question is where are most of those Penrith players now? as a lot of them were still U18 in 2016 and could still be in colts now. Hint: look in the team lists of some of the other clubs. There in lies a big part of the issue.

McTaggert played wing for Easts 1st colts (instead of Luisi originally listed) Wilkinson, Ramm, Pietsch all played Grade (2nd), Pellegrini, Narayan played Grade (3rd) - Yirrbi was originally listed to play Grade also but isn't listed. Points for Aust 7's and U20's players probably mean they...

wrong Snoz

Manly had the better of it - big forward pack that were good at the breakdown.. Despite that Norths defended well & were within striking distance for nearly whole match. A double to halfback Haskins (one a blindside snipe) proved the difference.

Granted the Uni Rep team was a class above... :p

That is not overy fair I think the Warringah-Randwick result says more about Randwick than Warringah. By rights a Rep team should always beat a club team.

Good to see RugbyNews listing colts teams this week https://rugbynews.net.au/intrust-super-shute-shield-round-two-colts-team-lists/ Eastern Suburbs v Gordon Eastern Suburbs (1-15) Bo Abra, Harry Todd, Fred Davies, Will Nicholls, Oliver Bee, Josh Smith, Charlie Brown, Jack Lamph, Harry Doyle...
