We don’t often get grand finals in schoolboy rugby but the stars have aligned in Brisbane this winter.

Defending premiers Nudgee will host Brisbane State High on Saturday afternoon in front of a huge crowd at Ross Oval with everything on the line.

“It’s a really exciting end to the year,” Nudgee coach Andrew Scotney told Rugby News.

“I got to experience a decider like this back in 2018 when we played TSS in the last round but we haven’t had one since then.”

Nudgee defeated BBC 54-21 to set up a final round showdown against State High and Scotney said he’s been pleased with his side’s progress in recent weeks.

“We were happy with our performance against BBC. They are a strong team and had plenty to play for last weekend. The week before against Toowoomba, we had a really slow start coming off a bye, but got going in the second half.

"Then last week, we started a lot better against BBC and kept going.”
