Word is 9 from Oakhill and 17 from Augustines in a 36 man squad - but TBC.

More like 2 from 2 than 6 from 6 for Oakhill this year. Started the year with a trial against Aloys in a game that was part 2ndXV and part 1stXV - scoreline flattered Oakhill due to weakness of Aloys twos. Had 3 pretty easy wins on their Sth American tour - 1 in Chile & 2 in Argentina where they...

Oakhill #8 is Ash Goddard. Played 1sts last year in the 2nd row, looks like he is enjoying playing as a "loosey" this year. Agree with Stonecutter that Oakhill are not "very confident" of beating Joeys. They are appreciative of the opportunity to test themselves against this GPS powerhouse and...

Well done Pine Cone 3. Very accurate and well constructed report on the Oakhill / Knox game. Enjoyed reading your report almost as much as watching the game. Cheers.

Thought Oakhill looked pretty strong and cohesive in yesterday's victory over Knox. At times they were too keen to throw the 'miracle ball' rather than taking the tackle, or keen to go wide in early phases before getting the defence backpeddling through pick & goes - but this may have have been...

Thanks RT - appreciate you answering my couple of questions re Stannies.

Is it correct that Stannies are about to head to Japan to rep Aus Schools in the Sanix tournament? If so, looks like it could be lean trip for the boys from Bathurst based on their 3 trial losses so far.

Did anybody have a look at Stannies v Barker today at Barker? After Oakhill beat Barker on Sat, interested to hear the result of today's game as a bit of a measuring stick - albeit still early days.

Oakhill 12 defeated Barker 10 at Oakhill today. Barker set piece very good - particularly the lineout. Physical game played in hot conditions that saw many players cramping towards the end of the match. Without knowing too much about the Barker lads thought Wilson at 2, Jenkins at 9 and Fletcher...

Both schools effectively had their 2nd XVs on the park in the first half then brought on their 1st XV teams in the second half. I used the terms probables and possibles above as at this early stage of the season there are obviously quite a few positions yet to be decided. There was a huge gap in...

Oakhill had a pretty rusty first up hit out against Aloys on Friday afternoon. One try apiece for the "probable"1st XV trialists in the second half of a match where Oakhill dominated the first half "possibles" encounter. The Aloys "probables" forwards outplayed Oakhill at both the set piece and...

Thanks for sorting that out Moses. Note Oakhill have their first trial against Alloys on Friday week. Where are the other ISA schools up to with internal trials/training and what trials are scheduled before the end of Term 1?

Oakill are playing a couple of the GPS schools in trials this year. Away to Joeys on 12 May and home to Shore on 19 May. Agree that Oakhill will be very competitive in 2012, eight regular 1st XV players back this year from 2011 plus 3 more (at #10, 6 & 14) who started in at least one ISA comp...

Info from Oakhill: Wednesday 24th 1:30pm Oakhill 1st XV v St Pat's Silverstream (Wellington NZ), 3:30pm Australia Schools A v England U18

Saw Gregs play Oakhill on Sat and agree with ISA Follower that they are technically deficient - a number of their First XV players seemed unfamiliar with basic rugby rules. I'd be interested to hear from someone in the know where the school sees rugby in comparison to its league program. Oakhill...

Eastwood won't be conmpetitive in the UI17s - have struggled to get a decent side together with a lot of players from previous years not interested in trialling. Looks out for Wests in the 17s this year.

Yep, Oakhill really put Stannies to the sword yesterday. The forwards were outstanding - powerful running by props Musson and Abi-Arrage and the #8 Pettenon set a great platform for the backs where fly half Lepore directed the play superbly. The team is now playing with great cohesion and they...

Can somebody enlighten me as to why Josh Kay is playing halfback for Joeys? Saw him play at fly half couple of years ago in U15s and thought he was the best 10 running around in that age group in 2009. He also went well at fly half in the U16s tournament last year - although my knowledge is...

Oakhill beat Grammar 48 - 20 today. The half time score was 13 - 12 to SGS but they ran out of puff in the second half and Oakhill regularly ran through some very flimsy defence - score made somewhat respectable by a SGS converted try on the bell. Grammar looked well short of a run but their...

Oakhill beat Shore 2nds 33-17 (or thereabouts). Shore prabably had the majority of the ball with Oakhill once again struggling to string many phases together. First 2 trys came from neat chips by the fullback Bertus. The young year 10 winger Cotton had a good game and Woodward's defence at 12...
