It was a heartbreaker for the Brumbies U19s this weekend, as they went down 31–24 to the NSW Waratahs in the Grand Final at Warringah Rugby Club, ultimately missing out on a third consecutive title.

Despite mounting pressure late, they were unable to break the Waratahs’ defence and the match slipped away. Among the squad were several Uni-Norths Owls players who have been key contributors to their club campaigns: Billy Hansen, Will...
