A tight loss for Barker against Oakhill. Oakhill were missing 6-7 of their stronger 1sts players.

It’s a very strong Oakhill team so still good work from Barker.

No reports?

According to the ISA thread, Oakhill beat Barker 42-41. Which suggests the players thought it was still basketball season.

Apparently, Trinity beat St Patrick's in the 1sts and 2nds. Which doesn't mean much, except this - Trinity's seconds never win. It's kind of a tradition. So maybe a touch more depth than usual this year?

Worryingly, St Pius whooped St Aloysius 57-14. Which is a real problem, because St Pius don't usually beat Associated Schools teams. Either St Pius are way stronger than usual, or St Aloysius are a long, long way off the pace.

Cranbrook had an internal trial.

Cranbrook plays Scots 1stXV. around 7 tries to 1. Scots had 4/5 1stXV players out. Cranbrook really held there own until late in the day.

The Pius Aloys game is a massive score. Pius have always been able to string things together when they had to but I wouldn't have seen that scoreline coming.

I believe that number 3 will be replaced hopefully in next few weeks as St. aloysius scolarhsip Gabe Roberts will replace him and should be a big improvement.

According to Trinity's website, Trinity beat St Pats 29-5, with tries from Marcus Mastro, Amosia Soatini, Sione Lua, Brock Prideaux, and Max Meagher.

The big news there isn't just the margin (Trinity had a loss and a draw to St Pats last year), but the return of Meagher. He missed almost all of last season with a shoulder injury, but if he stays fit, he's a legitimate representative contender at hooker. Mastro was highly impressive last season, with a very powerful running game for a prop. If he and Meagher get some ball in their hands, there'll be a few sore defenders this year.

Separately, any views on how the new tackle rule is going? I watched it in Shute Shield on Saturday (nice win for the Students) and the main impact seemed to be that a runner who drops his body height close to the tryline is very hard to stop.
