Season format idea (may well have been touted previously by me & others)…. Easter holidays and first ~3 weeks of Term 2: friendlies/trials between any schools regardless of association (up to schools to organise, some great traditional matchups like Knox V Joeys on Gala Day) ~Weeks 4-8 Term 2...

will be hugely influenced by players being pulled up to Opens (or not)! Any early mail on 2023 u15s or underage 2023 u16s playing opens next year?

Both very good but Different styles of player from what I've seen: I feel Durbs is more like Pocock - physically very stocky and hits breakdowns to great effect. LeM is more like Hooper - lighter, and plays a little wider to great effect

the CAS teams (& players) that will be U16s 2024/Opens 2025-6 have been up and down in their first 3 years of senior school rugby..... eg Waverley 14As lost by 50 to Knox in 2022, but then Waverley 15As (just) won in 2023..... I strongly feel coaching is even more materially influential in the...

I may be very wrong; but was it simply a case of Knox paying the price of not playing on the last weekend of school holidays (meaning they didn't play for 3-4 weeks) before playing away at Waverley?? Went into that game far too cold?

Rumour that Dylan Hall isn’t playing rugby again, concentrating on Track. Hunter Chan would be a great alternative.

Which Waverley teams had a game in the holidays, May I ask? All year groups or just the opens?

ah I see, great that he's playing team sport :-)

smaller figure? anything is possible in rugby: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheslin_Kolbe
