All the better for Aus Rugby. Would appear we have another huge pool of talented 7's to pick from yet again. Are we able to touch base with NZ and Eng about getting some ex-pat Sth Africans to move out this way and breed these 2.5 meter tall 115kg locks they seem to have a stack of?

I hope you are right.........

Mc Seems to be able to sniff out a tryline, that type of player is always handy to have! It will be interesting to see if the selectors can ignore the quality performance of the NSW team when picking the NSW squad and balancing numbers

Across a whole tournament, i wouldn't imagine too many times.

McCalman in. Sounds like the NSW backrow is having a field day in attack against the more fancied opposition. @Newbie, i think we both may need to do a re-assess of our backrow selections, the crystal ball is looking foggy!

Now that is confidence with a capital HJ!

Can someone in the capital clarify, are QLD looking at all potent in attack, or are the points options a way of staying in touch with NSW?

I wonder how many times in a tournament that Kellaway of the N variety, has outscored Kellaway of the A variety?? There is a stat for you @HJ

as reported elsewhere on the thread, @cdeegan is doing live updates on twitter too, just type @cdeegan into google and it comes up.

NSW feeling confident picking H Williams on the wing and at lock?? Impressive feat if true!

Now i see. That is a fair point.

Tough for anyone to be talking up the QLD'ers when they appear to be struggling a bit behind the performances being put out by NSW.

They are probably trying to start their morning fire with sticks and rocks @LG!!:eek: The internet might be a bit of a stretch

@Newbie, is James Tuttle an outside back or a halfback, i had him down as a 9?

Big fan of this rationale, and as quoted by the honorable @HJ, i am hopeful the selectors will look beyond the quotas and such and will take the best available. I suspect the wider training group that is selected will have some of the injured bodies not there, such as the Tuttle's of the world...

One would hope that they release him for the sake of the U20's and the big fella's development. Would make a dynamite backline if released!

I had factored in yet another ginger in the mix, but i doubt the reds will be letting him away in their current state. If they do however, i would expect he will be in or around the starting side, either on the wing or in the centres.

Ok, have re-read all of the posts from the games so far, and i am going to take a stab at an Aus 23, factoring in players who are likely's as well as those who appear to be performing well: 1. C Orr (NSW) - 2014 AUS squad member 2. F Fainga'a (NSW) - Big wraps from the NSW thread members and no...

I wouldn't look at the U20's boys, that will just about break your heart!!!!! I know of at least 7 who are also Gordon Juniors not playing for the Highlanders!

Thanks @Sideline Eye, you have earned you beers tonight!
