Agree that players in super rugby teams who are eligible should be very high priority but also agree they should spend some time in camp as often a few heroes parachuted in late can often cause big problems in a already cohesive unit. I just realised that Aus 20 candidates will play NZ in trial...

Hi guys my view is that all coaches and selectors will by now have a very complete profile for each player including injury history where known and a SWOT type analysis as well.for National Champoonships. But boy dont think the politics stops now , if anything it starts now. I reckon a healthy...

Aus 20s are never going to match SA nor England for size due to their production factory of big boppas. That has been case for some years and I expect will continue we all know that. But that doesnt mean we have to fret continually about our "lighter framed" kids. I have seen some of these kids...

Have Waratahs announced their 20s squad for 2015? ? Their website still has 2014 info as latest and I believe they play very soon in Canberra. Its probably the squad/team and a few that played on weekend????. Geez wish they would update their site so some of us living away from civilisation can...

Hans a very accurate report on trial games at Brighton on weekend.My friends were there and sent me an email report., bloody hell it is nearly exactly the same as yours. they are junior rugby (under 20s) tragics and have been following this age group for years. They notice the polish on players...

Which Club or Zone do you belong to or should be loyal to??? As long as all good players and above par players are getting a run to develop and expose their skills to the people that matter it shouldnt matter.I have seen players whom most have not seen or heard of until they are say 17 join any...

Hi guys saw bits of a few games saturday and ACT v Force. Not a lot of backline skills shown by any one team. ACT no 10 and 12 were ok on saturday in extremely hot conditions.but disappointing so far . saw some pretty good tight forward play today though in Brumbies v Force game. just couldnt...

Hi guys will be in Adelaide on business then clipsal 500 so can get to some of those games in Adelaide. Dont know where they are being played but will find out. Have heard though that all the sides in the competition are out to ambush NSW Colts. Havent seen this years lineup but they would...

Have heard the Eagles squad will be announced officially tomorrow and a snippet on Rugby HQ tonight.Whatever the mix as with all other franchises, the task now is to gel those players in very short timeframe.Massive challenge.

Just noticed the country eagles forum is bristling with views.Not enough names announced yet to gauge whether they will be competitive or not. I think they would be a 30 man squad and James Grant and co are not entirely useless when it comes to spotting talent. Young colts , veterans and...

Young wallabies went ok today in first half against a very well organised italian defensive pattern in filthy conditions.The drastically changed team didnt click as well as expected and I genuinely thought the 15 (fullback)was a little lost with so many options on kick receipts.Much prefer him...

Just been advised its pouring in Auckland and surrounds and weather alerts for next few days. Lets hope that doesnt stifle the boys point scoring ability.

Guys I saw the Aus v England Game first hand.Yes they were much bigger specimens for sure.But apart from some "soft tries" by England and the usual couple of ordinary refereeing decisions Aus were not outclassed as such. Sure a missed tackle leading directly to a try is a game error that can...

Staniforth is coming into the game day 28 and bench is getting reshuffled. my source tells me Aus need all the weight and experience they can muster . will be in Auckland on business on friday and will be invited to game.Wow cant wait to see this match up.May as well see All Blacks game whilst I...

But wait theres more. My friends tell me there is another North Coaster in Lachie Creagh .plays with Croke at Norths and is in contention for Aus 7s selection. They obviously do more than surf up there!

What a good result for the 20s. Absolute tragedy for the injured fullback on the eve of a world championship . Lets wish him all the bestfor a full recovery. I have friends up North Coast way and say that Mcintyre, Perry and Croke have been standouts for a while and now maturing solidly at...

Thats a pretty handy 4,5,6,7,8 for Aus 20s right there with Perry, Dempsey and Staniforth (if the latter twoare fit &well) also available!! Lets hope there is some nice dry paddocks in NZ . This mob is a "real team" well drilled and well coached.They are capable of anything! Go u little wallabies!

Barbarians at the gate of Chatswood Oval! Its more like Christians to the Lions after reviewing the Baa Baas forwards!

Any team sheet for Aus 20s team for tonights game,.If they perform well technically, against that Barbarian side geez anything is possible in NZ!.

Do know for sure AJ Gilbert is now offshore plying his trade. Japan I think.
