Well you have seen some of the braver heads here explain their choices and margins.
Do you agree?
Will Kings trample the bagpipes, the Dragon breathe fire over the the Shore men and the Wild Wolves subdue the cattledogs?
So far not many have tipped Scots, Shore or Joeys. Do they know something you don't?
Get in now. Want to change your mind? You can, just message me before midnight Friday.
Tipping closes at midnight Friday.

RROn the injury point, could it be that with more trial games, more players are usually rested a bit more, more subs allowed and less loading on players/players pushing through early on for selection. It would all play a part.
True, like we’ve always said here .. there is difference between trial and comp gamesOn the injury point, could it be that with more trial games, more players are usually rested a bit more, more subs allowed and less loading on players/players pushing through early on for selection. It would all play a part.
And put 100 on New with a clean sheetA very fine Scots team indeed in 2014.
Dominated all season with just a scare against Shore late in the season who came close to an almighty upset.
For those of you who want to relive the season link is below to season highlights.
One of the very best schoolboy highlights reels.
2 internationals in that line up.
Angus Crichton at League and Guy Porter who was capped in union last year for England.
Might also notice a shaven headed Toby Rudolf in the No.1 shirt scoring against Kings

A very strong schoolboy side. Who would come close to them? Kings 09-10, Joeys 19?And put 100 on New with a clean sheet
Ask any Joeys old timer and they will say Joeys 90-91. Kings 2002? Scots 93, Kings 2020A very strong schoolboy side. Who would come close to them? Kings 09-10, Joeys 19?
View crowds have been excellent as of lateOn a completely seperate note in relation to last weekends Kings v View game- i has very impressed as an old boy to see there were more View boys at the game in support. Even for a home game with about half the school boarding the turn out for Kings must be pretty disappointing for their players to see the lack of spirit.
I know Kings have 'compulsory' attendance days where boys must attend and they have limited to 3 weekends out of the 5 home games but it never seems to be a full crowd. It must be disappointing for the players on a home ground to see the opposition have more supporters. No doubt the school is being bombarded with 'excuses' why boys cant attend this weekend for the first compulsory game this weekend against Scots.View crowds have been excellent as of late
This is due to the school introducing 3 “warcry leaders”
it’s no Iggy the moocher but it’s a step in the right direction
This team was better.A very strong schoolboy side. Who would come close to them? Kings 09-10, Joeys 19?

I've also heard a theory that for a few seasons very little game time due to Cov19 and now we have gone back into full swing players bodies aren't seasoned toughened hence the amount of injuries that are occuring.On the injury point, could it be that with more trial games, more players are usually rested a bit more, more subs allowed and less loading on players/players pushing through early on for selection. It would all play a part.
It's a good question, the worrying aspect is the injuries aren't sprained ankles etc (1 week out) allot of season ending injuries ACL etc.I think that to the extent that players pushed through some minor injuries during trials and made them worse there is an element of truth to this. When they might have rested they didn’t. However it is not the quantum of rugby played, that is more or less the same year on year.
