good summary.
BBC looked over-confident & lazy.Every time they got out to a big lead they took foot off the pedal.Forwars tackiling was poor,lineout again poor and backs looked like they were playing 7s rugby. How many tries did Conrad Quick "butcher" by not passing?.Numbers 10,and 4 for IGS were brilliant.
Speaking of BRILLIANT -did josh Bowen-Boyer get 3 or 4 tries.? I do know that at 24-10 Bowen had scored every BBC point!.He will be missed by all GPS rugby followeres -what an exciting ball runner.Why is QRU letting him go to Broncos??
Speaking to Tom Barker afterwards he said the first try by Josh was up there with anything he had seen from any schoolboy-Flately,Q Cooper,K Hunt ,Pocock-etc.Even the IGS coaches were applauding.Someone put it on U-Tube.He caught a kick in his own 22 swereved past 3 defenders without a finger laid on him-kicked over fullbacks head-jumped up over IGS fullback and caught the ball in one hand mid-air(aussie rules style) and raced away to score balancing the ball in one hand..An IGS parent said they knew not to kick to him but were powerless to stop it.
BBC will not get near TSS playing like that.I guess it depends which BBC turns up.The team that beat ACGS or the bumbling mob that lost to GT.
footnote-that BBC 15A team is shit-hot .I think Phil White and David Williams (former Red) have them playing a more structured game than the 1sts.If the QRU does not snap up Syd Smith (Aust 15 league captain) they are fools because the Broncos watched him on Saturday/.
BBC will have to play the perfect game if they are to upset TSS this Sat.
Otherwise, I expect same score as pre-season trial game 55-3
