Great to see Diggers is continuing his rapid rise in Australian Rugby with this try-fest on Wednesday.
With the added pressure for outside back positions next year at the Force this should certainly boost his rating with Mitch.
There are certainly sterner tests ahead for the Australian U/21s however, it is a promising start to their campaign.

joshie holmes...the next george gregan??
Up the Woodies!!
Hehe, well not yet. He should get some game time in the S14 next year and might well be starting in 2008. It's very early to say but Holmes and Beale could well be the next Gregan/Larkham. Big call I know but it's in the maybe pile.Originally Posted by littleleck
Ioane's beefed up something cronic, he been having dinners at Burgs' place or something?
