The Super Rugby U16s and U19s competitions are wide open as teams prepare for Round Three over the weekend.
It begins in Melbourne as the Rebels face the ACT Brumbies, with the Rebels coming off a shock win in the U16s over the Force, the team that defeated the Brumbies in the opening round.
This is followed by a blockbuster Sunday clash as the Queensland Reds host the NSW Waratahs at Ballymore, calling in Australia U18s stars Kingsley Uys and Tom Robinson.
The Western Force have the bye this week after they split their games with the Brumbies.
