CAS Rugby 2023

St Aloysius went down 7-19 to Pius. Same margin as last year’s opener and I think 4th year in a row St Pius have taken that opening win. A little “same ol’” for Aloys. Couple of good forwards in the open-side skipper and the Year 11 tighthead lock. But really lacking size and effectiveness. Not a lot of zip in the back 3, but #13 who was excellent last year will be their hope.

There’s some positives elsewhere in the program. A new head of rugby (Jack Gooding in, Brendan McKibbin departed) and some wins lower down: 2nds an epic 3-all draw, a win in the 3rds and depth enough to have a 4ths this year. Both 16s sides got wins. The 15s, who only have one team, look much better than last year. The 14s went down but there’s some real talent in that As side and perhaps in a good sign the 13s teams both won, the As in a tight one and the Bs getting up by more than 30.

So some positives throughout the whole group, but in the Firsts, there’s been no CAS wins since 2019 and despite some opportunities in the invitationals, it’s hard to think that they’ll be able to knock one of the other CAS teams off this year.

Ruben would obliterate every single one of these boys. Will be interesting to see Noah Jackson go against Ruben Stock on the 3rd of June down at Kings park (Passing of Queen Elizabeth)

Hey Hector,

I have been informed in the Aloysius 2's had two tries disallowed, crossing of the line twice despite the 3-3 score. In stark contrast to the nil penetrations from Pius of the try line, hence a degree of sheer indefatigability coming out of the Aloys defence. It also ought to be noted a red card coming from Pius's 7 I believe, swearing at the ref (warned multiple times), quite disgusting the lack of respect tolerated and seemingly perpetuated by Pius's on field culture with regard to respect towards the ref. Also some injuries coming out of this game Pius 12, 4 and 6 if I recall correctly obviously disadvantageous for them, as well as a head knock for the big 12 from Aloys he seemed quite promising though not much ball time.

There's plenty of Knox and Waverley supporters on the forum, surely somebody knows how they went in their first trial?

Gday,
I’m not sure Aloys are getting the credit they deserve. Obviously the game was played in atrocious conditions resulting in lots of dropped ball, but Aloys more than held their own.

The Pius forwards were well drilled and had an advantage at the line out, but Aloys scrum was more dominant. Aloys were camped in Pius half for most of the game, which is testament to their defence. If not for so much dropped ball in the forwards they would have probably picked up more tries.

They also had 2 players sent to sin bin at the same time, effectively playing with 13 players against 15 for 10 mins and the Pius old boy running the sideline did them no favours at all.
Aloys also bombed a certain try with a player dropping the ball over the line and Pius picked it up and went the length - it was a 14pt turn around.

Aloys backs were far more threatening with multiple players making line breaks. They also lost their fullback due to injury in 2nd half. Aloys 12 & 13 were dangerous with limited opportunities and they completely shut down Pius backs defensively.

If played in drier conditions, I wouldn’t be surprised if Aloys reversed the result when they meet Pius again.

Ruben is of South African descent, I've spoken to the man mountain and he said he would like to play for the Springboks but will also like to play Wallabies. He didn't know what rugby league was until the start of this year.

G'Day RoD,

The Waves haven't played an external trial yet, only internal trials.
Next week a squad of 35 are off to Japan to play 4 local Japanese schools, and enjoy the experience, very lucky boys!

Our 1st home trial is v Newington, then View, Oakhill, Auggies and finally Gregs/Puis.
Then the 1st round of the CAS begins, we play Cranbrook at home.

It's a real shame that we only get to play 2 GPS schools, but that is what has happened as the GPS schools have unfortunately reverted back to a home and away comp for themselves.
