That was one if the differences in the two sides, aussies had a bit more composure and couple of their speculative passes stuck and Yorkshires did not. Not alot in the two sides, but the number 4 fir Yorkshire got seriously owned severl times by his opposite number.

Enjoyed the game an a good turn out for a mid week kids game.

First guy was my MoM......second kid is a mountain......Aussies hated it when he ran at then.

I thought it strange that Connor Wynne didn't get much game time cos he was originally named at fullback, Liam Whitton was a late inclusion yet started and played most of the game.

Unless you are involved in the coaching set up, how can you be so sure?

Am I missing something here?

This game was against England Colleges. A warm up game for the two matches against the England Academy - the Australian schoolboys equivalent.

Yes, but they also played Yorkshire u19s earlier this week, and will play Lancashire u19s before the first game against the full England side.

That hooker, Gray (big lad for a hooker though!) turned the game on its head in the first 10 mins of the second half I thought. He was a class above and caused havoc around the ruck. Mustapha and Holroyd, as you say were fantastic. My MoM for Yorkshire was Mustapha, he ran the ball strong and seems to have a good engine - he didn't seem to tire much at all. McClelland looked sharp in the halves, but seemed to be playing too much for himself rather than the team in my opinion. Good turnout and an enjoyable game to watch. I'd recommend anyone who can make it to turn up to the Lancs game - it was a decent fivers worth of entertainment on Wednesday night.
