H,
Periodically we get some school boys who jump on and talk rubbish.
Typically that doesn't last long.

Very unfortunately, a lack of depth for Aloys shows up again.
Very sorry for the boys who all try so hard.
They are not playing Knox, and there was never going to be contested scrums, as there were also non contested scrums in the 1sts last week.
They are playing Trinity, best of luck.

Morning H,
Havent heard too much over the past weeks about any games being streamed but am concerned whether or not the games will still be played due to the large amounts of rainfall predicted, does anyone know if the games can be cancelled due to large amounts of rain flooding the fields ?

When I was at school (admittedly in the Dark Ages) the absolute rule was, Rugby is always on, no matter what the weather. This rule stayed in place despite a memorable game against Newington when the field was so deeply underwater that (a) no one could see the lines and (b) there was a serious danger of a drowning in a ruck because some of the puddles were so deep.
I didn't actually experience a game being called off due to weather until I was playing in England in 1985. A harsh winter caused the grounds to freeze, with the result that what was normally soft mud hardened into jagged edges. It would have been like playing on a field of knives. Not long afterwards, the Scots installed heating underground at Murrayfield to remove this problem.
The CAS schools are a little more sensible these days - if the weather is really bad, they call off junior games and just play the higher grades (eg 1sts and 2nds) on any given field. But at this stage the forecast doesn't look that serious.
What is serious is a 1st XV starting games with uncontested scrums...

Snort,
You played in England?? Wow you've been around the traps a fair bit. What was it like over there, quality was high I'm assuming? I'm sure there were cups of tea at half time haha.

I played in what was then called the Universities Athletic Union competition - basically all the British universities except Oxford and Cambridge. The standard was - well, variable. Some days it was about Sydney second grade. But then you played Loughborough University, and half their team was in the full England squad, and that was tough. One or two of the Welsh universities were also quite tasty.
No cups of tea, but I do remember after my first game I got under the shower and 14 other players hopped into a communal bath and looked at me as though I was the weird one. You do not want to know what that bath water was like.

CAS heads agreed before the start of the season that they would not stream games. Both competitions produce mostly fantastic rugby and the occasional blowout. I have nephews across both associations and to be honest some of the best games I have seen have been during the formalised 5 round inter association games over the last couple of years.
Im not sure where I sit on live streaming, some of the vitriol that goes around on social media wouldn’t be helped by this... for example if player x drops a ball or missed a crucial tackle as schoolboys are entitled to do, the potential for that to be highlighted above it’s worth would not be healthy

I believe it was 27-10 Knox's way. Rusty game from what I've heard.

Huge result in the 16A’s with Knox beating Waverley 24-21. I believe that was Waverley’s first ever loss in the age group, so a massive win for Knox.

3rds result, Waverley beat Knox 15-0, two late tries sealed it in what was a close game.
