Thanks Joker, another big year from you and the statisticians.

I think 10-5 is the correct score. A try to each team. Kings converted theirs, Joeys did not. And Kings opened scoring in the first half with a penalty goal.

The match today between the two previously undefeated 15A teams of Joeys and Kings was a beauty. High quality, tough rugby that went right down to the wire. A try apiece, just a conversion and penalty leaving Kings the victors at 10-5. Could have gone either way, with Joeys having plenty of...

Beautiful weather for spectating rugby today at Riverview. The steak, bacon and egg roll with onion hit the spot. The match played out in the reverse fashion to what I, and most others were expecting. Riverview on top early with Kings finishing stronger in the second half. Riverview were immense...

Very surprised by the lack of tips favouring Kings in their match with Riverview. It seems the View men are receiving all the love from from the tipsters. Yes, their last match up was close. Riverview beat Scots well last week, as did Kings when they played Scots. Kings look to be the under...

I find it laughable, people suggesting Kings is more a team of stars, rather than a great team (mostly by people making a comparison to View). Many of Kings tries are scored by a rolling maul, or forwards working as a group doing ‘pick and drives’. This is the epitome of rugby team work. The...

Yes, this years 1st and 2nds is all year 12 boys, except perhaps 4 or 5. it will be almost a total change of players next year.

Wow, there are some salty View fans today. And a few from New. Refereeing in rugby always has a lot of grey area and fine-line calls based on interpretation. Passionate fans are commonly guilty of being hyper-observant of a call against their team, which on another day may have gone the other...

Even God can’t save them this time.

Joker, apologies for being a pain, and happy to stand corrected, if I am incorrect. But if you look at the post by Rudderless, one of the losses was the trial game you refer to. Of the 4 comp games, three were wins and one was a loss. Trial against Scots -Loss Rd1 13/5/23 against Shore -Win...
