HIP HIP HOORAY!

I think that is one of the more interesting selections. A No.10 in the comp leading team being selected out of position. Renton will do well at 15. This is a boy who doesn't seem to mind the pressure or challenge of a big match-up so it will be great to see how things work out in round 2 when...

(only clipped SDW to save a repeat of his very good report) and 0-0 for the first +30 mins (?) of the match. An indication of just how tightly wound were these two teams . Knox second try came within moments of the restart and a slow re-engagement from Cranbrook. A credit to both side as to...

Cranbrook took outright lead today in CAS with win over Knox. This year's Scots v Cranbrook game next month may be a touch more competitive than normal - thank goodness. Should be a great game for fans of schoolboy rugby.

It was a tough forwards game and a few of this forum's questions answered today... Line out - dominated by Cranbrook Scrums - dominated by Cranbrook Both sides very disciplined. Knox tough and strong around the scrum but not good enough today. Knox and Cranbrook backlines had a great tussle...

Cranbrook 15 - 12 Knox Full time

Rugby has been, still is and will continue to be something Waverley takes very seriously. The school has tried something different this year and made some changes which don't appear to have been overly successful. Whatever that change was and what the school do to fix things, the lesson from...

Pete - you are allowed to be curious but my hesitation, after a couple of requests, is because I am very uncomfortable naming individuals in the context of how they were being discussed. I also enjoy your commentary and would also be keen to your thoughts on Waverley in particular.

The weekend's program lists the coach as Mr James Boyd.

Are you the forum's echo!

They don't need or expect to score a try with ever touch of the ball. Positional play is tactical. I should add, apologies, that was poorly written.

Why do you find that inconsistent? He is an important part of the squad, a team of many people but there is one person in charge - the coach. Like in any team I thought.

They are most definitely and predominately coached by a school teacher.
