Could not agree more Mr ISA, Pius will struggle and with the natural attrition that will come with playing regular footy, I cant see things getting better for them.
Kinross play Riverview 1st XV this week at Kinross so all will be revealed around 4.30pm on Saturday afternoon, wether they are in the hunt or not.
Stannies play Auggies at home in the ISA comp and both teams look to be strong and improving.
Oakhill and St Pats are struggling early but hopefully will find some form coming into the ISA part of the competition.

I Enjoyed what I saw of the U16 trials on Tuesday. Particularly liked seeing some of the talented Div 2 players out among the more numerous Div 1 talent. Unfortunately, a fractured thumb in the first few minutes of his first trial match saw an early departure for me and my boy...next year!The ISA Rep trials were held at St.Pius yesterday - for both the Opens and the 16's age groups
There was a good representation present from all of the ISA schools, and some of the 16s games were quite willing to say the least (one lad got a YC for over vigorous play in one of the trial games)
Not sure when they will announce the teams - more than likely they will be announced here: soon: http://www.isa.nsw.edu.au/winter-sports/rugby/
I can confirm the Pius 1s lost to High 41-17.
Interesting, it was only a few seasons back when High lost to Pius by 30+ (and High had Gen-U20 player Sam Musgrove in their team)
There are 2 x reasons for this recent scoreline:
- Most of High's current 1st XV squad has been together for the last four seasons, and they have been a strong 'A' team for those years, winning regular matches. A mates' son plays in the team, and I have watched them over the years grow and develop into a fine rugby team, so it is not surprising to me that they are doing well.
- I was recently talking to a few Pius people 'in-the-know', and they have acknowledged that the current Opens squads are not their strongest, and that they are waiting for the current U16 crop to move into the Opens next season.
I will be looking forward to watching this current Highs' 1st XV team and how they will go in the 3rd XV comp this season.
Obviously some agreement between Stannies and Kinross looks like whoever has the 1sts playing at home gets to play the visiting 1st XV side. Cant tell you a lot about Kinross 1st XV apparently they put a good score on Knox 2nds last week, I did not get to Knox until 1sts so cant comment on that result. I do know Kinross have a few strong forwards led by Donny Freeman and on past performances against Stannies over the years have always aimed up. But Saturday will be a big day and im sure Riverview will be very competitive in all grades.
Apparently Riverview bringing up 32 sides to Bathurst and Orange this week end, a fantastic effort and one that is much appreciated by all us West of the mountains, I hope all the city lads enjoy their visit and play some great footy and return home injury free.
Got to Love Schoolboy Rugby !!

Hey ScoobyOriginally SSC vs Riverview was to be the premier fixture of the day. kWS realised the enormity of the mistake and changed the fixture. Kudos to KWS for taking ownership of the fixture. I hope they get up!

24-14 Joeys 3rdss def Pats 1sts
68-0 Joeys 4ths def Pats 2nds
Didn't quite catch the 3s and 4s games.
Although Pats lost, it can safely be said that the scrum has improved significantly. Looking forward to next week's fixtures against Aloys.
