Correct

They were calling for Year 12's to play, however trials makes it difficult and Rorke has Australian Schoolboys to prepare for.

Correct... Also it turns out that WAS the Waratah shield match. I had myself mistaken.

Is that true? He also refereed a friendly between a Riverview development 1st XV and Oakhill yesterday.

All GPS 1st XV matches kick off at 3:15, however for View and Joeys the crowd is huge, so to get a seat I recommend being there for the start of the 2nds (2:00) or possibly halfway through the 3rds (1:30ish). Parking around HH is a nightmare however and the same rules apply; earlier the...

Did you manage to get any team lists from the match?
