Looks like CAS convenor has finally updated the calender - and it's a shared one with AAGPS and ISA for the first 2 weeks.

Full CAS rounds only uploaded for the Henry Plume Shield (1sts)

For the open depths in Week 1 of scheduling.
Aloys - 3rds
Barker - 5ths
Cranbrook - 6ths
Knox - 9ths
Trinity - 4ths
Waverley - 5ths

Joeys goes to 14ths, Riverview 11ths, Kings 9ths, Scots 10ths, High 3rds, Newington 8ths, Shore 8ths, Grammar 3rds, Oakhill 5ths, Augustine's 6ths

Might be some byes for some teams, so some schools might go deeper.

Good improvement from High, New and Auggies in the number of teams. Bit disappointing in regards for Waverley only 5 teams, with Cranbrook fielding more.

In Barkers 2nd game of the Sanix tournament they had a good win over Higashi Fukuoka, 52/24. Opposition was weaker than yesterdays game. Baker needs another pool game to go their way which is unlikely. They paid the price for having a mixed team of 1sts and 2nds players rather than their 1st XV until the game was beyond doubt. Sadly, due to yesterdays defeat, it looks unlikely they will progress and will most likely play off for 5th.

Suprised to see Oakhill with only 5 opens teams.

For a school that has been very strong over the past few years, that is less that I would have expected. Perhaps a bit concerning for them given they don't supplement their 1st XV or have league player placed into the school, but rather have traditionally relied on home grown players. I wonder if the changing demographics of NW Sydney might be started to filter through and have an impact on their rugby numbers?

I believe they've had 5 or 6 opens teams most years, but yes, player numbers are down over all of the age groups. I'm sure the demographics of The Hills and surrounding areas are changing, but I think you'll find there are other reasons why numbers are down at Oakhill.

What are everyones predicted CAS ladders?

 

[CAS_Rugby]

What are everyone’s predicted CAS ladders?

1.Aloys
2. Cranbrook
3. Trinity

And a fight for fourth between Waverley Knox and Barker.

 

[Ziggy]

Waverley this year have 5 teams in Opens and 4 teams in each age group from 13's to 16's. (21 all up)

This week the school plays Joeys with the exception of 15A's and B's playing Oakhill.

Barker tight loss in Japan - great to see lots of game time for all players, but two yellow cards and penalty try costing dearly

Shore might have an 9ths this year for the first time in many years.

Barker played their final pool match today. In what was thought to be a easier game just was not to be. Barker lost 36/33 with a penalty on full time. 2 very soft yellow cards resulting in Barker playing 20 mins of a 50 min game with 14 men was the real archilles heal. The standard of refereeing will certainly make other schools consider if the expense of attending this tournament is worth it. Credit to all the Japanese schools though. They play and expansive game with few errors and are great to watch. What was interesting is when the come up against the Fijian school who play a similar expansive game but with bigger bodies. It is suddenly one way traffic with the Japanese schools not being able to cope with the power and speed of the Fijians. Barker will be in the bottom end of the playoffs having 2 losses from 3 games albeit with bonus points in both games for losing by 7 points or less in each game. 7 point loss in the first game and 3 points in todays game.

Refereeing wasn’t the biggest problem I feel (although the referee may have been swayed by the demeanour of the players and supporters which was visibly and audibly apparent)…. In the two losses it was seemingly hard for the combinations to gel with a large squad rightly seeing many players get game time

Barker v Hamilton Boys (NZ) in next playoff round - should be a cracker!!
