It would not surprise me at all to see them do a job on a really good team out of nowhere. I've said it a few times but they looked very simplistic v View and a team that hadn't played much together and given the injuries they hadn't. Their 2nds got the win over View 3rds which is all they can do. I would have expected View 2nds to beat them but I think it would have been a harder than what it looked when they played Barker in the 2nd & 3rds.Oh, people, relax a little. It's clear that Waverley has injury problems. Whatever team they put on the field will be competitive, and if they get close to full strength they'll push Barker and Knox. Of course, we don't know that Barker and Knox won't have injuries too, and if Barker's 2nd XV loss yesterday is anything to go by, Barker's depth may not be great this year. Really it all depends which teams take the field on any given day, so insisting that my school is going to beat your school six weeks before it happens is just a bit silly.
Well Wav's beat View 3s,Anyone got an idea of how the 2s competition is stacking up?
Stannies did get up with a try on the last play of the game. But Aloys had their chances and squandered them. They were up 10-nil early and coasting it seemed. SSC had all the ball in the second half, big forward runners through the centre of the field and not much shifting in the backs, but any possession Aloys had was wasted with errant kicking, the penalties not finding touch cruelling their chances in particular. Stannies tight five were great. Aloys #3, #5 and #13 their biggest threats. If they can get their kicking right, they should threaten Pius next week.
Lower age groups were all Stannies way, but generally quite tight, other than the Aloys 15As who had a massive win, with SSC sending their Bs in that age group.
Interesting take NB, I too had the privilege to analyse this performance from the east end of St Aloysius college memorial oval, situated upon Tyneside Avenue. Furthermore, the notion that is exemplified within your response is akin to my own experience, his try was magnificent being placed in the left corner of the field, employing the use of a goosestep in order to hornswoggle opposing defenders, rendering them unable to make contact with him. Although the size disparity is apparent, this player ran much like the late Jonah Lomu, a sense of pride being amalgamated in each stud that penetrated the soft exterior of the grass as he ran the ball into the chaotic defense of St Stanislaus. Aloys will only be moving forward.Apologies for the late reply, but as a wingers specialist I find it necessary to mention the performance of the Aloys left winger. An outstanding try with a difficult finish as well as booming midfield exits and determined running of the ball. I believe he is only in year 11 and can see promising signs from the young man.
Excited for Aloys this season,
Norman Burns.
Waverley college 2s should be really strong for the start of the CAS Season as the 1stxv players come back from injury over the next two weeks this should mean that two or three forwards and a centre from the 1stxv will be dropped to the 2ndxv.Anyone got an idea of how the 2s competition is stacking up?
I heard Will Hickey might be moving up to the 2s, Heard he is tearing it up in the 3XV. Especially against a strong Riverview 5XVWaverley college 2s should be really strong for the start of the CAS Season as the 1stxv players come back from injury over the next two weeks this should mean that two or three forwards and a centre from the 1stxv will be dropped to the 2ndxv.
Waverley have a tough run in trial games im sure they will come good by cas rounds.My predictions for this weeks fixtures:
Oakhill to beat Waverly, due to Waverly's ongoing injuries.
Barker to beat Pats, by 6 tries or more.
Knox to beat Auggies, will start off close... towards the end Knox should run off with the win.
Cranbrook to beat Kinross, by 10 points or more... No troubles with Kinross in the past.
Pius to beat Aloys, I believe Aloys will show lots of heart, but it will result it a narrow win to Pius.
Trinity to narrowly beat Gregs, as I think Gregs will put up a good fight but Trinity are a stronger side in general.
Yes, depending on their injuries... Will be an interesting season for them.Waverley have a tough run in trial games im sure they will come good by cas rounds.
Support your view from what limited knowledge I have of all these schools, but either this week or soon, the stars should align.I would actually back all the Associated Schools sides to get up this weekend. Mind you, based on what I saw last Saturday, St Pius is a pretty physical side and they could have a touch too much grunt for St Aloysius. And I'm guessing about St Gregory's and Trinity since I really have no idea what St Gregs are like this year.
Are Trinity looking good for this season after only beating Pius by 1 try? If they really want to compete this year in CAS would expect them to put a solid score on Pius. Of course they have a few good stars, but I don't believe they are all that they are hyped up to be. Please fill me in on this? OR is Pius a good side this year??Support your view from what limited knowledge I have of all these schools, but either this week or soon, the stars should align.
It is terrific to hear that Trinity and Aloys have some really strong players that can influence a game, 2019 Aloys beat Waves, and deservedly so!
Spoke to a number of Trinity dads at Cricket, earlier this year, and they were quite pumped about Trinity's chances this year, they have some very good players!

Early days RURS, but I am only quoting a few Trinity dads. I might add they were quite a bit up beat than normal, and a few of their boys have had recent rep representation, not when they were under 10. So let's wait and see, nothing better than a competitive comp.Are Trinity looking good for this season after only beating Pius by 1 try?

Sounds like a funny joke.How does this sound.. Trinity WIN the CAS Rugby comp 2023!
No joke intended at all, and it probably won't happen but jeeze it would be great to see, imagine the school repercussions, and absolute joy of all, You would also hope it slows/reverses the growth of that horrible drop off sport, soccer.Sounds like a funny joke.
