Grammar have the bye this week, and are resting a few players, resulting in a fair number of positional changes. Still a strong squad which should get up over Downlands.

The loss of Browning and Sautia will really hurt BSHS

Maybe not premiership contenders, but BGS will finish in the top half of the table. 2010 Aus A/ QLD 1 Flyhalf Grant Davies is returning as are Blake Laud (Outside), Levi Aumua (Number 8) and new face Cody Blackhurst (Hooker), all players with representative honours. They beat TGS 49- 29 in Round...

http://www.rugbyweek.com/news/article.asp?id=29973 Daley's almost certainly not going to play, and there's doubt that Digby will either. He went straight to the dressing rooms after the Tahs match, so it won't be taken too lightly. On the other hand, with Davies returning the backline will...

Brumbies Guy, I didn't elaborate enough about Giteau's form. I meant that although earlier in the season his form was patchy, he's beginning to turn up week- in, week- out and this trait could prove vital to the Wallabies backline come the pressure of RWC Finals matches. 2009- 2010 aside, Giteau...

Agreed. Not only does he refuse to accept that he and his team were outplayed by the Reds, his body language just reeks of a superior attitude. He barely looked at the interviewer, having a massive sulk the whole time. Thank God he isn't a Wallaby, we've been embarrassed enough already.

I think everyone is writing off Giteau way too early. Yes, 2010 was a pretty average year for Gits, but people are forgetting that he is a 91 Test Wallaby with World Cup experience. His main issue is the fact that he doesn't suit Quade's gameplay as he tends to move sidewards as opposed to...

Props aren't rewarded enough in Fantasy. A tackle should be worth 2 pts instead of one and a successful scrum should be worth something. Front rowers will hardly ever get points for try assists/ goals/ dropgoals (unless it's Matt Dunning), so surely increasing points for their main jobs would be...

Hanson starting for Fainga'a as well. His game is much more complete, especially his scrummaging.

So that leaves us with O'Connor, Turner, Ioane, Davies and Morahan in contention for wing spots. I'm assuming that O'Connor will play inside centre, especially as that's where he's repeatedly expressed he wants to play and that now he's playing there for the Force. I think Ioane and Turner would...

This is easily the post of the year. Agree wholeheartedly.

All Waratahs supporters are have an unwarranted sense of self importance. Phil Waugh's post- match interview says it all.

Reds: 1. Genia- Provided awesome service and acted brilliantly as a link between forwards and backs 2. Simmons- Quickly cementing his position as Queensland's line-out general, complete game with excellent ball running and physicality 3. Robinson- Phenomenal defence and did a fantastic job in...

Phil Waugh is an arrogant, disrespectful and extremely bitter cretin. He cannot and will not concede that the Waratahs fall to pieces under pressure and that the Reds are clearly the superior Australian franchise. Watching his interview has eliminated any respect I had for him, his dismissive...

I can cover all the BGS 1st XV games if you like. Maybe a section in the wiki called 'Schoolboy Rugby 2011' or something along those lines would be beneficial.

Agreed. Due to my association with BGS I acknowledge my opinion is somewhat biased, however a Top 5 finish is more than likely. Former Wallaby flanker Jules Gardner and former Reds assistant coach Damon Emtage have brought a very professional mindset to the team. For example, a QLD Schoolboys...

Maybe a bit radical, but what about JO'C at 13? It seems most international sides are set on having a big/ small centre combination, so why not go for a skilled, evasive outside back? I like Barnes at 12, I think he offers a sense of direction and knows how to control a game. I realise this...

He played 4 1st XV games last year for TSS, so he'd certainly be in contention.

BGS have picked up Cody Blackhurst, a hooker who played 16a's/ 1st XV for TSS last year. They've lost their three QLD schoolboy forwards, but their Aus A flyhalf Grant Davies stays around for another year. Lose a bit of size in the forward pack but gain in the backline. Likely to finish mid- table.
