GT V NC
We’re back at Red Black Stadium for this one. Terrace have spent all week convincing themselves that last weeks loss had nothing to do with BBC and it was in fact the hand of god teaching them a lesson. However, an email has gone out during the week asking for more parent donations, so they can build a "last minute try scoring training centre" on top of the homeless men’s building at Spring Hill. Despite a flurry of hand delivered envelopes to the headmaster’s office this won’t be built by Saturday. The Nudgee lads will be angrier than Ewan McKenzie standing in front of a closed Sizzler after being written off by knowledgeable commentators like me last week. The NC coach will have convinced his players that Grammar are a real chance of upsetting Churchie next week and a shared premiership is on the cards. When the Manual Arts Majors in the team, work out that’s impossible, the game will be over and the scoreboard will have them in front by plenty.

BGS V BBC
The Grammar Rugby Support Group will be out selling “2015 Season Gear” talking up next years season. In fact not one Grammar parent will even watch a game, as they walk around in a Serapax-induced haze, wearing smiles like the gate at Luna Park. The biggest cheer will come from the tuckshop when 3 Grammar mums and the Grammar Captain of Chess work out how to get the pies the right temperature in the hot box. Is there any rugby on??? Robbie Deans will be spotted back from a coaching stint in Japan, as he considers joining Steve Hansen, Jake White and Alan Jones as Grammar First XV Co-coaches next year. The BBC team will in fact coach themselves this week and will take turns using the coaching staff walkie-talkies to manage replacements. This will get confusing early in the second half, allowing BGS to run in a couple of tries whilst they only have 8 players on. When the batteries run out, attention will turn back to the rugby and BBC will condemn BGS to the shared wooden spoon for 2014.

TGS V IGS
It’s the battle of the west…The Landcruisers vs The Sandmans, The RM Vs The Ugg Boot, The Rollie vs The Winnie Red. The…aaah who cares it doesn’t really have any outcome on the premiership anyway. And IGS will have 3 men, a one legged dog and a lost Monster Energy Drink Sampling Chick from last weeks home game, watching. The Ippy cheer squad will get tired after the first War Cry (“I-I-Ippy-Ippy-I”) and give up cheering. This is in turn will fool the IGS players into thinking their player bus has already gone and they’ll have to walk back to Ippy. They’ll run off down the range leaving the TGS boys and the usual, overweight, Darling Downs ref on the field at the 61 min mark. A Grade 9 TGS boarder will suggest a brisk walk down to the Spotted Cow for a few pots and the game will be gladly called off early.

TSS V BSHS
This will be a challenging day for the State High boys. It will start with the State High Bus breaking down at West End after a team breakfast. At which point 4 Greek Cab Drivers and 2 Bongo Vans driven by squatters will drive the boys to Fursden Road. The TSS players will have been at the Nerang Tatt Parlor getting the “2014 Premiers” Tatt removed before they board the bus up to Vegas. Conveniently the parlor is owned by a TSS Rugby Old Boy, who offers all 15 of them a place at the school next year and to change the tatt from “2014” to “2015”. All 15 accept the offer (even the two 21 year olds).
Watch TSS next year…

The only open team to drop a game has been the 1st's. There are some good match ups through the age groups, the 14b's is one that springs to mind and all the A's except for the 14A's.
