Updates from Under 16s Division 2 Round 2

Great scoreline. You never know if the opposition took their foot off, but I doubt they would, as these Australian sides are playing for spots in the Div 2 U16s Grand Final later in the year - I assume percentage could be an issue.

Imagine in 5 years if the recent NZ programs keep growing and if all the islands get regular juniors going.

I'd love to see more juniors coming out of Europe too.

Queensland still had 6 scoring shots to 4 in the last 1/4, looks more like inaccuracy than taking foot off pedal to me. Also the Pacific boys just might be starting to gel and getting their defensive game in order.

Unless fatigue becomes a factor, you'd expect the Pacific guys to have more improvement in them over the course of the series than the Australian sides. Wouldn't it be a great fillip for the credibility of international footy if they scored a win in the last round.

I think the international players range from 15 to 19, but certainly not all 18 and 19, so perhaps for the South Pacific side we'll see a harder limit of 18 next year, and 17 the year after. Of course improvement isn't guaranteed - all those recent programs have to keep going and grow.

Of course the next step beyond that would be a team in the Under 18s, perhaps open to world players up to the age of 20? I'm just speculating though.
