My review probably focussed a bit more on what let TGS down, as it was Toowoomba I was asked about. I did talk a little bit about Sam Greene but that was about it from a BGS perspective. I could have elaborated on Greene but everything that needed to be said already has been. Easily the best...

I'm not getting ahead of myself. I never said BGS had sealed the premiership or anything close to that. In fact, I conceded that Light could very well be correct in saying Grammar won't win the premiership. All I'm saying is that despite all the anti-BGS sentiment that Light (amongst other...

BGS 29 def. TGS 12 NC def. ACGS 10 That makes Grammar 2 from 2- Churchie are still to win a game. You must be pretty surprised that "a team like Grammar" managed to beat TGS so convincingly without someone as good as Darcy Eason and up against a firing Jonah Placid. Maybe you're right, Light-...

I'm pretty sure Gunn plays #6 for Churchie. Digger MacMillan (Year 11) played some openside last year (he's a year older) and I think he's been playing there in the trials, with Lochie Oppenheimer returning at #8.

BGS beat Downlands.

Well GlobeTrotter, I believe Brisbane Grammar have one of the best teams in the competition. I emphasise teams because they play exceptionally well as a unit and don't rely on their more notable players. The best example I can think of is last year's 1st XV match against IGS. Less than 4 days...

IGS vs TSS is going to be a really interesting clash. Both sides have two of the best props in the competition, with Aaron Pleash (IGS, QLD 1 LHP) and Ben Tarr (TSS, QLD 2 LHP). I have a feeling Tarr could create a lot of trouble in the scrum for opposing TPH THP Latham Takau. Takau's an...

6. Bronson Tauakipulu (BBC) 7. Jayden Rodwell (NC) 8. Ben Laxton (GT) Could easily end up being the best possible backrow. Does anyone know about the front-row contenders? Depending on how good they are, Bronson could end up at either prop or hooker with someone like Sam Clarke, Joel Brown or...

Cousin. Plays for Anglican Church Grammar School. A standout in the QLD GPS competition.

Never heard of him, does he play 6, 7 or 8? He'll have some strong competition from players like Jayden Rodwell and Alex Mafi (if he players backrow and not hooker) from Nudgee, TSS boys Joel Brown and Isaac Peterson, Tom Spencer (BGS), AIC 1 openside Sam Clarke (Marist), Ben Laxton (GT), etc.

Slim I'm obviously a massive Lilo fan as well, but do you honestly think Deans would have started him against the Welsh? I mean, he was competing with McCabe and Barnes (two Deans favourites) for the 10/12 jersey, and he's never picked him before. Not saying he didn't deserve selection, just...

I think Beale's easily the option at fullback. Playing at Super Rugby level, Quade has a lot more space to move, which suits his expansive and multi-faceted skill set. However, at international level, defences are (generally speaking) more structured, organised, and effective. Beale's playing...

Rumour is that Paulo was diagnosed with a heart condition and has been ruled out for the season. One report from a teammate of his was that he's been told he can't play ever again but that's the first I've heard of that. Very unfortunate diagnosis for anyone, yet alone such a talented player.

Good to see we've actually got a fully fit forward pack this year (minus Horwill and Vickerman). Makes for a nice change from last year when Robinson, TPN, Palu and Pocock were all out for considerable lengths of time. The biggest difference from last year is obviously the depth we have. The...

Surely Yoda would have to be the scrumhalf.

Who would you change? Pocock, Genia and O'Connor in particular are all freaks of nature. They're brilliant individuals. Horwill and Ioane are great players as well. That's 5/15 Wallabies; only third of the team. Australia are blessed with a select group of brilliant individuals, yet aren't...

My World XV (Based on form since 2011 Six Nations): 1. Tendai Mtawarira 2. Bismarck du Plessis 3. Dan Cole 4. James Horwill 5. Richie Gray 6. Thierry Dusautior 7. David Pocock 8. Sean O'Brien 9. Will Genia 10. Daniel Carter 11. Digby Ioane 12. Jamie Roberts 13. Manu Tuilagi 14. James O'Connor...

GPS 1 26(Sikimeti, Hood, Fakaosilea, Deck tries; Tuttle, Green 2 conv) Defeated CSS 1 10 (Samia, Hicks tries) Stand-out players were Fakaosilea at #8, Deck at #9, Tuttle at #12. Eason proved tonight that he is not a fly-half. His passing was sloppy and his decision making was especially poor...

I don't get why everyone seems to be of the opinion that Sam Green is small. He's turning 18 this year and he's got to be around 85kg now. I heard today he was sub-70kg when he first played 1st XV rugby back in 2010, and three years later he's still thriving. He's a tough player with the best...

3. Genia 2. Pocock 1. Barnes
