Under-20 Competitions including Oceania & World U20s

[Confucius Say]

who is the player agent on Stan?

Look, he know who he is so I won’t out him because I assume at this stage he only calling the Colt Club game.
But his lead commentator was so brainwash that even after the player left the field, he was still calling his surname when other player ran the ball.

 

[Confucius Say]

Not even Jerry Maguire did that for Rod Tidwell.

I don’t know who you’re talking about but it doesn’t sound like anyone prominent so who cares, bias exists at all levels of commentating. Ex-players and coaches don’t want to talk Ill about their former team, pet project or mates. Commentators don’t want to be critical of players who have given them interviews and good snippets.

Need to take all commentators with a grain of salt. Cheika cops more flak then most because a similar bias ‘appears’ to exist in his commentating that people accused him of as a Wallaby coach.

I suspect hes talking about Dallan Murphy calling QPR

I would go as far to say he is more than fair. He gives praise where due and is less over the top with his own managed players.

 

[Confucius Say]

A Brothers supporter? I am comfortable with your perspective but happen to see it differently. What many accept in the commentary dished out today I don’t. An unbiased commentary would know more player and research beyond their client.

Brothers all the way. I’m a straight shooter and have no hesitation in calling out bias behaviour. Your opinion on Dallan just doesn’t align with my observations. If Dallan isn’t noticing your kid, get your kid to do better.

What game?

Seeing the result of the Gen Blue U20s against Southern Districts last weekend we could at least go part of the way to solving this by entering an U20s squad in each of the respective Club 1st grade comps.

Someone also mentioned that sometimes this year the 5 Aus and they assumed the Drua will play each other without their Wallabies. Sort of filling the gap. Honestly, wouldn't mind if they opened that up to having a SRU/BRU rep squad also enter.

I am genuinely wondering about this idea.

If we really want to give the u20s rep team more games together and become a powerhouse team, there are options.

Could bode well if/when the players meet again in other rep teams further along.

 

[RugbyReg]

I can see the Sydney clubs being really supportive of that idea, however much I like it.

Half of the BBC 2019/2020 team are in this squad. Coaches must be working on combinations.

 

[Confucius Say]

Will be hard to pick a 23 let alone a XV from that list. A lot of younger boys obviously with an eye to the 23 U20s.

I watched Bowen and Wilson for Easts and they look very good.

With no world cup this year I guess it makes sense to focus on those guys who'll be able to go around for another year, particularly once you get outside of the starting 15

 

[Confucius Say]

Yes but still have the objective of beating NZ if the Oceania comp proceed in July. You need the older men for that task particularly upfront. Still a big difference as Colts comp winner each season illustrate.

2019 side was the best outfit BBC has ever put together.
There was 6 lads who played in 2018 as U16's stepping up. Could have been a couple more as well.
I think the 2020 team got accolades due to breaking the drought but to be honest I don't think the opposition was as good as 2019.

The 2019 "final" game V TSS was the best schoolboy rugby match I have ever seen in 40 plus years. Miskin Oval had never seen so many spectators.

 

[RugbyReg]

Three squads so far with changes throughout. Yellow highlights are the ones who are new in this squad.

 

[Confucius Say]

I think Byron Sutherland is a lock.

Where is Harry McLaughlin from?

EDIT. Brain fart. Brisbane.

Do you mean Homan for Easts?
