Great try to Saunders finding space. Kid has speed.

Some great vision by Aloys 10 to some brilliance by Jahnke-Tavana leads to an offload for Phillipson for another try.

Game over 24 - 7
Best on ground - I still think Phillpson was good. But Bailey for me was the standout and he was from the bench. Everything worked better with him on the field.
I know I have Waverley eyes - but the difference in the team when Preketes came on was huge. He was the only forward that offered genuine momentum and go forward.
Saunders played well if not doing too much - he should have almost been better selected at 15?

Interesting game.
The 6 Barker forwards on the field were a little disappointing. Again highlighting Hooper - he should be in the second row and he is not strong enough in contact. Edwards the best of the starting Barker players.
For me Saunders offered a lot in attack, really showing how good he was. His defensive work was dominant as well.
Have no doubt, that is not a strong rugby team that CAS competed against, so there is no bragging rights here for such a win. The CAS 15 again showed he should not be there.
I was also disappointed with McCleod. He either wears on his hands or runs too hard onto the ball.
The interesting thing for me, and again I raised this after Tuesday, is how much better the players who came on were. Preketes, Bailey and I thought today Sagala and Livingstone as well showed some glimpses of the better players we missed out on selecting.
livingstone would have been a great 6/7 option. Sagala at 13 with Saunders moved to fullback?
Towns a big loss as well obviously. Selection is hard, but most in the know would have easily picked Preketes and opted against picking a year 10 kid at fullback. Those two changes alone would have made us more competitive on Tuesday and a better team today.

I want to highlight I hope Sayoun gets to the next level after his performance on Tuesday. He was very good then. Likely fatigued today as a lot of the boys would have been.

Looked lost defensively a few times. Strong ball runner though.
