No foxing. Beaten by a better team on the day. Newington 10 was very, very good. TSC 10 had a really bad day. The 10 in the 2's looked good, has a big boot on him. Another trial this weekend for all teams. TSC apparently resting key players.
I feel this is exactly what the previous message was talking about. Mix it up, blood new boys, combination's, who knows with a 2-round competition what will happen with injury, and I dare say it, form!
And that may be the problem.
Would be great to see a replay of the game. Lots of sideways movement, a poor kicking game, obvious issues in defense leaking so many points and an inability to score points. Lots to work on.
What's the front row look like for TSC this weekend? Duddy v Shore will be worth the entry alone. A great opportunity for him to show his metal on the pitch!
With the right coaching...... This is the issue. Have a look at Scots over the last 5/6 years, some of the best names in schoolboy rugby and Thye couldn't put it together. Thye have had another poor season and still won't look to drop big names. Would love to look at the stats, some very obvious...
Orpin the undisputed form 9 this season. His rep games showed he was very clearly unlucky not to be in the Waratah #1's. When you see trial form like that not recognized as it should be clearly shows selectors go in with pre-determined selections.
Langi with his versatility has to play 1 or 3. Just adds mobility and ball skill that not many other props have. Lipina, excellent thrower and has impact bending the d line, can add weight to the pack. No talk on the Scots #2? is he not in consideration?
Interesting choices. 9 looks set to be back to 3rd grade this week. Would assume the Scots 9? and Kings 3rd grade 9 ahead of View. No Tom Watts? No Large? 10 looks to be an issue, leading his team to 2 draws. Max Mason could be the 10?
With a draw and a loss to start the year, will the Scots coaching staff pick and stick or make some changes to the 1st XV?
9, 11 and15 not having the best start to the season might be under pressure. Scots don't appear to have a lot of depth however can easily cover these 3 positions from the...
