agree with all predictions, I think Cranbrook will beat augs comfortably.

Wow, Newington must be very good this year, and good on them, why so?

Yeah went to watch newington the other day and they played very well. Cranbrooks 2s played exceptionally well last season and these players will be wanting to prove something and show that they want this.

Then it should be any interesting game at Death Valley, many are tipping New to win comfortably by 12-18+, will be very surprised if that happens but at this stage not too much is known of any team. Hope the rain stays away until after the game.

Augs are strong they might have on of the better backline maybe in school footy this year. I think that’s why kings 1sts initially wanted to play augs over cranbrook. Will be an interesting game

Agree should be a cracking game, heard it’s being played under lights at Warringa after the 1st grade boys finish. Cranbrook have a very strong forward pack this year so I believe they have the edge in that respect and should be a good test in the backs for both sides with a classy Auggies back line against many returning names for Cranbrook.

Yes auggies have proven to be very strong with a 7 all draw with churchies in QLD GPS during the school holidays, and a comfortable win over trinity last friday, I truly believe St augs will give every team they play a red hot crack, and with most if not all players returning back they are definitely a force to be reckoned with.

Also now have tylan and tomoko Berryman which adds a lot of attacking options with walsh in the backline

Yeah, hopefully the rain stays away, will be an interesting year in general for Newington

Cranbrook where meant to play Kings but they dropped out, but I heard Kings are playing Eastwood U18, correct me if I am wrong. I think cranbrook forwards will over power augs

Even though cranbrook may have a forward pack that works like a well oiled machine, st augs will be sure to match them with the two quality players at second row both playing nsw school boy rugby last year likewise with one of the props and i believe there number 8 has been playing firsts since he was in year 10 so i wouldn't make any assumptions about the ability of saints forward pack just yet which has had minimal changes over around 3 years as they have played together since under 14's.

I thought the same thing but the gps website had Cranbrook playing kings 3rs. Kings 1s and 2s were playing against augs

Thank you Joker. It will be interesting to see how the double round works out for the GPS teams. It seems like a very close race in the GPS comp. As for the CAS, well I think the top three schools will battle it out.

Watched Trinity play St Augustine's last Friday.
Trinity has ample size, with their openside flanker being around 6'3 to 6'4. They looked pretty good I thought, and I believe the scoreline doesn't reflect their ceiling of potential. No. 8 was very physical and caused the Auggies forwards some nightmares, but to their credit, they matched with Trinity's size advantage and physicality and defended commendably. The eventual death of Trinity came through Auggies backline, pure class, and silky plays gained mass amounts of ground. In saying that, the Trinity 9 and 13 played well. I wouldn't count them out just yet, they do have the potential to beat Cranbrook and place in the top 4. Auggies to beat Cranbrook this week though, they are already battle hardened and look substantially more structured as a result of their early preseason and trial period, will be close though.
No idea but I always hold a soft spot for the lads.
I loved when they beat Waverley at Death Valley in the biggest upset since this skinny sheep herder took out the Scots boy, I mean Goliath.
Couple of cracking good tries.
