Fresh faces reignited an age-old rivalry when New South Wales hosted Queensland in Round Three of Super Rugby Men's U16s.
The Waratahs were flying high after two mammoth bonus-point wins over the Western Force (96-7) and ACT Brumbies (97-0) while the Reds headed to Sydney fresh from a 63-point thrashing of Victoria.
