NSW AAGPS Rugby 2013

[Quick Hands]

Joeys to be too strong for Kings

Riverview should beat Shore reasonably well

Newington to beat Scots in a close one. One thing that we have seen from New in the last year and a half is that they find a way to win the close ones. Remember last year that 3 of their wins were by less than a try - could easily have lost all 3 but didn't.

Interesting video . Although it has nothing on that barker one . In my opinion .. Red army or something

What barker one? I would be interested to watch it, cheers.

View attachment 3951 Wanganui Collegiate School 35- SGS 14.
14-14 at half time.
SGS lost the toss and so had the dreaded uphill 2nd half made worse by a sou wester, by my assessment.
The visitors scored first from a dropped ball which was unfortunate but the Grammar boys stuck at it and retaliated through the piggies.
There seemed to be a lack of combination in the Grammar backs although there were some half breaks.
The Wanganui boys had very good passing skills which were only held in check by desperate but effective defence.
The visitors used the wind very well in the 2nd half and kept SGS pinned in their own 30. They were able to turn the pressure into possession and the possession into some points with some well worked switches, but they probably had enough ball to justify a few more tries through their backs. Again the Grammar scrambling defence deserves credit for forcing the Kiwis back into their pigs where there was a lack of accuracy in the Grammar clean out. I scored the Wanganui men the more physical of the 2 packs.
A game played in good spirit.
Wanganui hooker probably the pick for them and the Grammar 6, Gorry, played strongly, as usual.

I see reserve jerseys out there; was substitution a factor in the half-time to full-time progression? And were there any injuries?

Gents sorry to post again, but I had a question as I look through the score sheets from the weekend;

Are we seeing a slight dip in the quality of kickers at the moment, or is it just me? Only 53% of conversions attempted were made on the weekend, and it appears to me that the only boys consistently hitting the mark are Andrew Kellaway of Scots and Bill Freeman of 'View.

Is this a concern considering the recent issues at the State and Test levels for Australia?

1 injury to a replacement. Did not look serious.
I don't think the replacements were the difference I think the wind was - NZ forwards were able to maintain possession and position so that when there was a turnover grammar could not get out of their half.
Grammar did not use the wind to play field position when they had it.
Suggestions from players and ref that the kiwis were somewhat illegal at the breakdown. A lot of sealing off and falling on the wrong side to my eyes but Grammar just couldnt get go forward in the forwards, which they needed because of the wind.

Have i gathered information from an inside man at the shore school and rumor has it that the players from the 1st XV will gradually swap with the players from the 2nd XV to take out the seconds comp

I doubt this, when they're a chance to come 3rd in the 1sts!If they play up to scratch of course, mind the pun, me being a wolf and all.

Mr Rower/Mrs Rower, it seems you have the wrong man. As good as your intentions are, trying to hold me back, i have no idea who either of those women are. My wife name is The French Sausage Dog, and my tuning is unstoppable.

I had a similar concern at recent games and also the nationals, it may be worse than it seems, because the penalties attempted is not recorded, only penalties actually is kicked, it would be helpful if the reporting of penalties was for example; 4/7. (that is 4 from 7 attemps)

The kiddies are back on, it must be school lunchtime.

TKS 2nds highlights were quite impressive. Quite a large turnaround for the boys from Parramatta. What about the big number 1 in space on the try line!!! could've driven a truck through it... as a former prop myself, i felt good inside for the boy

 

[sarcophilus]

2nd 15 at 3:00 is tripping really a highlight
