It was a real
State of Origin atmosphere as the New South Wales Combined
High Schools team was welcomed with a good old fashioned but
friendly boo by a bumper crowd of around 1,500 which flocked to
Bundaberg’s Salter Oval tonight for the under-15 “Test Match’’.
By contrast, the Queensland side was given a thunderous applause
as they entered the arena.
Then, after a stirring rendition of Advance Australia Fair by
gifted young local vocalist Erin Munn, and with the Maroon blood
pumping hard in their veins, they opened up an 18-0 lead in even
time, before holding on to win 28-22.
The Blues were their own worst enemies in the first half, giving
away penalties and coughing up cheap possession, and Queensland
made them pay with two of their three tries in that period
coming on the back of NSW mistakes. With the game was only three
minutes old, Maroons winger Taylor Feeney drew first blood,
crossing in the left corner, before fullback Keanu Te Kiri
landed a booming conversion.
The next try had more than a stroke of luck in it with the ball
taking a wicked bounce from a regulation bomb and virtually
landing in the hands of an unmarked Matt Beddow 10 metres out,
giving him a clear run to the line. Te Kiri again kicked truly,
before showing his skills with the ball in hand, accepting it as
second receiver from a scrum win 35m out and running around one
Blue and stepping out of the clutches of another en-route to the
try-line, then raising the flags with another difficult
conversion.
NSW gradually got their act together, and they finally hit back
with Brenden Santi forcing his way over for a four-pointer seven
minutes before the break. They clawed back to within eight
points at 18-10 down with a superb long-range try to centre Vai
Toutai early in the second stanza, but they failed to
capitalise, turning over the ball in the first set from the
restart, and the Queenslanders hit back immediately with a try
to centre Ian Read to lead 22-10.
NSW had a player sent to the sin bin with 21 minutes left on the
clock, but they did well during his absence, not conceding a
point and with Jeremy Ma’A forcing his way over in a tackle,
given field position with an astute 40/20 kick, and fullback
James Roberts adding the extras. The Maroons re-established a
12-point lead with eight minutes remaining, with Chris Gronvold
finishing off a good try after they had elected not to take a
penalty kick in front of the posts, and Te Kiri converting.
The Blues revived their hopes with five to go with hooker Blake
Jones carrying defenders over the line with him after getting
repeat sets inside the Queensland red zone, then converting his
own try. But the Maroons did enough to guard their lead as the
clock ticked away to run out deserved winners.
Players of the Match: David Klemmer (NSW) and
Jason Taumololo (Queensland) with their awards.
The two number 10’s Jason Taumololo (Queensland) and David
Klemmer (NSW) were the respective Players of the Match, each
with heavyweight performances. But the Maroons’ other book-end,
Stephen Coombe also had a whale of a game, while Te Kiri turned
in an outstanding all-round performance, including repeatedly
defusing dangerous bombs and making many metres with his
blistering return runs.
Captain and five-eighth Luke Abdul-Rahman and halfback Cory
McGrady also shone. Queensland coach Don Saunders said that the
skill of his halves and Te Kiri’s speed were decisive. “But it’s
really hard to single anyone out because we need the whole 20 to
contribute and that’s what we had tonight,’’ Saunders said. He
also said it was a “special thrill’’ for his players when they
pulled on their Maroons jerseys and stood for the national
anthem.
“When we handed out the No. 6 jersey, we recalled some of the
great players who have worn it and gone on, such as Darren
Lockyer, so there is a great tradition,’’ Saunders said.
“Bundaberg has just witnessed the 40 best (under-15) players in
Queensland and New South Wales.’’
The performance proved that they are on track to challenge for
the title in the Australian under-15 championships which kick
off in Brisbane in four days’ time, but Saunders warned that it
had to be put into perspective and that it is important that
they take one match at a time. “It was a good hit-out, but we
treated it as a trial. Some of our structure was good but we
have to improve. This game was a good opportunity to go into
camp, assess where we are at and what we need to work on, and it
was good that both teams seem to have come through free of any
major injuries,’’ he said. “We will head back to Brisbane
tomorrow morning (Thursday) and prepare for our first game of
the nationals, but I don’t like to speak about winning the
title, because to do that, it is a big process by all 20
players, and it all starts Sunday.’’ Abdul-Rahman, of Townsville
who was one of six Maroons who are already on the North
Queensland Cowboys’ books, said that while it was a thrill for
him and many of his team-mates to make their state debuts
tonight, he “can’t wait’’ for the nationals to begin. “It should
be good but hard,’’ Abdul-Rahman said.
Blue coach Kevin Stacey said they were “not disappointed at all
with the loss’’. “It was a great game of rugby league – for
15-year-olds, the level of skill was outstanding,’’ Stacey said.
“It was our first game - up to now it has been all on the
training paddock and it has certainly given us a good measure of
where we are at and where we need to improve.’’
While Klemmer got the official award, Stacey named Brenden Santi
as his Man of the Match.
“He (Santi) was very good – he did everything asked of him, he
found ground and he tackled his heart out,’’ he said. “I hate
singling players out but captain Kurt Warden was also very good,
playing many minutes, and back rower Jack Siejka and our No. 3
Vai Toutai were also very good.
“We got a couple of bumps and bruises but they should all pull
through – we’ve got a very professional medical staff and they
will get the required rehabilitation and they should be ready to
go again Sunday.’’
