Waverley lost in the semi-final to Paul Roos Gym 41-21. Paul Roos are considered one of the five heavyweights in South African schools rugby along with Grey, Affies, Paarl Boys High and Paarl Gym. I remember Paul Roos smashed the top NZ side by over 50 in the final. If South Africa send one of...

16a: Waverley 33 Shore 5

Got to give Credit to Oakhill, I thought they were very resilient. One of their tries was great - length of the field. As for the Waves, they just weren't clinical. But that's school footy - you win some, you lose some.

Yeah, they had some great teams back in the 80s. I'm pretty sure they won at least 3 CAS titles in that period. I think either their 85 or 86 team knocked off Joeys, but not completely sure if that's correct. They were solid in the 90s as well. As a Waves old boy, they were our biggest rival...

Sounds like it's developing into a great rivalry - that's good for both schools. I heard there was a huge crowd to watch the game with a lot of their junior teams staying to watch - good for Auggies. As much as I would like the Waves to win, it's only school footy. Some age groups are just...

Nah, it has to be a typo. There's no way you could expect them to play 3 high-level rep games in 24-hours. The injury toll would be massive.

I’m hoping Waves gets the win but I think St Augs will win by 14. I think it will be similar to last year but in reverse. Waves got the win last year by 14 but with so many St Augs players returning I think they’ll get the points. It’s a pity it’s not an actual comp game. I have to say, I can’t...

Waves 22 Stannies 19 I thought Stannies were great - they never gave up. Waves were good too with their backs scoring some great tries. Waves were up by atleast 10 points for the majority of the match but credit to Stannies, they kept coming back. Waves won both the 2nds by 53-0 and 16a 63-5...

Shore 19 Waves 0 Credit to Shore they are a well drilled team with a big forward pack and a solid backline. Both their locks, the number 7, as well as the 12 were standouts. Shore dominated both the scrum and line out. Waves were OK. First game of the season and it showed. I was told that they...

I wonder if they will switch Joe Walsh and Boston Fakafanua during the game? I know Walsh played a bit of inside centre last year for NSW 16s, and didn't Fakafanua play both fullback and inside for Kings? I think Walsh is a top prospect but it's a tough gig to play him in a position he very...

Well done Waves, you've made us old-boys proud. I wonder if Waverley will get the chance to play against the winner of the Queensland GPS like Barker did last year?

You would probably know better WLF3, but I'm pretty sure that both Pats and Pius were invited to play in the CAS rugby comp in the early 80s. It was a shame that nothing came from it, but there is precedent. I'd have no issue if Oakhill, Auggies, and Pat's joined, after all, most of the CAS...

I have to admit, as a Waves old-boy, I don't take much enjoyment from seeing the results above. Back-in-the-day, the Knox fixture was always pencilled in as being one of the biggest games of the season for us. Whether it was under 10s to opens, the games were always hard but fair, but if you...

Well played Waves. I've watched them play a few games this year and they have improved dramatically since the Newington game. I don't want to bag Knox, but for a team that has so many CAS 1st and state players, they were 'bang' average today. The redhead flanker and the outside centre were...

Cheers...but who won?
