CAS Rugby 2025

[RugbyLeaugeGuru]

Hi all, I was thinking before the next round of trials start this weekend I know its early to start predicting the CAS 1st XV teams for this year based off the current crop of players around. But it is always interesting to see how the teams change to the actual team picked by the selectors.

Would like to see everyone's thoughts on predicted teams.

"versing" is not a verb.

Well what you’re using is slang and very common with kids these days. It is thought to have been picked up through video game terminology, but also through the ambiguous sound of the word “versus”.

What you are doing with this and “versing” is thinking that the original “versus” is a verb, when it’s in fact a preposition.

A preposition is a word that shows a noun or pronoun’s relationship with another word in a sentence. The common ones are things like: on, in, above, through, below and before.

In future use "play" or "playing" both are verbs. Eg. Cranbrook are playing Trinity this weekend.

Nice to put my teachers hat back on.

Well said Joker

the act of composing poetry”. For example: “What art thou up to, Shakespeare?” “Oh, not much, just a little versing.”

In any other context it’s an abomination.

Ah yes, nothing screams Saturday arvo footy banter like a surprise grammar lecture. Next you'll be diagramming sentence structures at half-time and correcting the ref's syntax. While you're busy dusting off the ol' Oxford dictionary, the rest of us will be busy versing our rivals and enjoying the game unironically.

But cheers for the reminder Joker - I'll be sure to conjugate my tackles properly this weekend.
