It would be racist if I said that Sri Lankan’s couldn’t play Rugby.
A bit of Trivia for you. The Sri Lankan National Winter sport is Rugby!

Does anyone have the 16A's result between Trinity and Alloys?
From a Knox persecutive I would say the following for CAS1
3 Kablau
5 Hughes
6 Cheal
7 Breden
8 Gratwicke
12 Rechner
I don't think the entire back row will get picked but I would expect all 3 to be in the mix for 1's and 2's
Would love to find a spot for Grobler, but Pollard is the first player picked obviously.
Here is my list of Barker players that are in genuine contention for a CAS1 spot. I have not seen Waves or Knox so not in a position to judge.
My call is based on having seen Barker play all GPS sides save Scots.
Wilson 1
Pollard 2
Brown 3
Cameron 4
Weymoth 6
Wheels 7
Ovendon 10
Galloway 11
Vasse 15
These lads may not get selected but they certainly have the capability to match the GPS in their position.
Yep, will be there this week mate.
Anyone know the price for a schooner down at easts?
I'll see u both there - maybe I'll be reffing that game at 11am..

For what it's worth, here is my guess at CAS 1s for 2019.
Unfortunately, couldn't find a place for an Aloy's player, though Allen and Spalding will go close.
- Hawkes (T)
- Pollard (B)
- Hayman (C)
- Rice (W)
- Cameron (B)
- Gratwicke (K)
- Breden (K)
- O'Reilly (C)
- Smith (C)
- Vuki (T)
- Swann (W)
- Rechner (K)
- Milford (W)
- Galloway (B)
- Griffiths (K)
Not as strong as 2018, but I think the same applies for GPS. So, CAS, with home ground advantage, could make it three in a row.

I seriously think Aloys are in for a chance at the premiership this year. They've demonstrated precision and skill and are looking to bounce back after a disappointing loss this year. Under the leadership of the newly appointed rector, "Frosty" Ross Jones, the Aloys first XV will be a force to be reckoned with this season.

Close to the perfect team you have there. My only changes would be:
10.Vuki (T)Volkman (W)
11.Swann (W)Evans (K)
I'm assuming that the no.6 and 8 spots will be decided this Friday night @ Easts. IMO , it comes down to how Cheal (K) Gratwicke (K) and O'Reilly (C) play. I haven't had a chance to watch O'Reilly this season, so I can't rule him out of contention (Can anyone give me insight into his game?). With that being said, I have had the privilege to watch both Cheal and Gratwicke play this season, and those two are something. Gratwicke has a great running game, is a line-out option (Which CAS is going to need to compete with GPS) and has the ability to deal out bone crunching tackles. Cheal is a 7 in an 8's body. His work at the breakdown is great, he has a good running game and really knows the game well. With him getting time in CAS1 last year (Year 11), it would be naive to think that he isn't a shoe in
