CAS Rugby 2023

Barker were without their first choice no 8 and 9 today apparently. Their substitutes played well. From View's perspective their 7 was very strong over the ball drawing a number of penalties while the View 10 had a strong game. Good kick and has no fear taking on the advantage line. Both hookers did very well at lineout time considering the shite conditions. Both sides struggled with getting their lifts right despite throws that looked good. I thought Barker played into Views hand a bit given they spread the ball wide at every opportunity when playing tight and using their bigger forwards may have been a better pay. Bottom line is both of these sides are very competitive and will be a handful for the best sides in both competitions.

Aloys got up in a very tight one against Grammar, 10-7 at Weigall. 2nds went down but the 3rds and 4ths both won in the Opens.

Fighting narrow losses in the 16As (7-15) and 15As (7-17) but good wins in both the 13As and 14As. So not a bad day out for the Blue and Gold boys in a round where they know they should be competitive. SAC now host Stannies at Willoughby next week. Results weren't too flash out in Bathurst last year, so this will be a good test of whether there's been improvement.

12-5 Augs at full time. Cranbrook were dominant, but ultimately wet weather conditions were their true opposition and therefore weren’t able to execute. Auggies backline was electric and their 15 was untouchable.

Hmm. if you're dominant, you don't lose 5-12, do you?

Hearing that Trinity drew 17-17 with St Pats (although, of course, they were dominant in doing so).

Big results for Knox and Barker today - well done.

All up sounds like a pretty good day for CAS. Hopefully waves will be fully fit soon and have a full strength line up

14As was 12-10 to Aloys with Grammar missing a conversion from in front in the last few mins.

I know, I know, I bang on about this, but today's results reinforce what I always say about rejigging the Rugby competitions. Knox and Waverley should be in Tier 1 with Riverview and Joeys. St Augustine's and St Pats should be in Tier 2 with Cranbrook and Trinity. And St Aloysius should be in Tier 3 with Grammar. Just imagine - balanced, competitive matches every week!

Hey mate,
Cranbrook were dominant, although execution was not there, whereas Auggies had great execution with their back plays.

Impossible to disagree.
