15As score: Barker 14, St Aloysius 10. The Aloys 15Bs won. This age group and the one below hold their own. It is the depth that is the problem, plus the issue that dare not speak its name that often kicks in from year 10 and onwards which exacerbates that depth issue.

As an actual Aloys person (note, that the Bob Talau guy couldn't spell Aloysius in his early posts), I can say that there's no strong desire expressed at a school or rugby committee level to stay in the CAS competition. The school has been a strong advocate for the mixed ISA/CAS comp for Term 3...

There are 3 open teams. The 3rd XV has a lot of players, but not quite enough to make a 4th XV. The last time there was a 4ths was 2020.

St Aloysius 17, Grammar 8 An even game as the scoreline suggests, but one side has the superior pack and the other the slicker backline. Aloys forwards, although not big, were very good. Defending well and mobile, the standouts were both second rowers, the 8, and the openside in particular. The...

So do the ISA / CAS threads need to merge in Term 3?

That would be good. Snort still around? Anyone?

Thanks all. So we can do tables, we need: Round 1: Trinity v Barker 16As, 15As and 13As Round 2: Knox v Trinity 15As and 14s. Cranbrook v Waverley 15As.

It's a shame AI can't fill the rest of these in. But there ought enough of you pass on some scores from the last 2 weeks so we can do up some tables. Thanks again @Mule for posting yours. Another ugly weekend for Aloys, only one team (the age group who were the best of the school last year)...

Thanks mate, edited to correct that. Barker Trinity lower age groups anyone?

Thanks Mule and 50c, a few more to go so we can get some standings going beyond just the 1st and 2nds.

With acknowledgements to our GPS colleagues (Joker), should we make an effort to keep track of the scores and the table? Let me have any results you can get, or correct any you see that you disagree with.

Waves 39 over Aloys 21 at full-time at Willoughby. Good show SAC, good to have their best forwards back from injury.

St Gregs with the win at Willoughby, 22-19. Aloys very close to snatching it back at the end, tight game in terrible conditions. Vastly improved performance by SAC.
