Round 2 Tips:
Kinross v Gregs @ The Fortress (we're calling it this now??? Fine... urrgghhhhhhhhh)
At home, I would have tipped Kinross in a moderately comfortable win, but Gregs getting up over Stannies last weekend muddies the waters ... a lot! This one's going to be close but I think Kinross won't sleep walk their way into this game knowing what Gregs can do. I'm going to say Kinross by the slimmest of margins and wouldn't be surprised it it's a draw.
Pius v Pats @ Oxford Falls
I'm heading up to watch what i think will be the match of the round. The two Christian Brothers schools ripping in - as they do - every year - always - without fail! I've seen many a false dawn at Pius, only for them to go back to bed and sleep for the remainder of the season. But their results against Scots and Oakhill can't be ignored. On the flipside, the reports of St Pat's death appear to be greatly exaggerated! Whilst everyone predicted that the departure of Conti and Woods would lead to an African famine of results, their strong showing against a rock solid Trinity team and a win out west against Kinross tells me that there is still life in Strathfield yet!!!
I suspect though that this will be Pius' year. Predicting a blue and gold win with a try on the bell.
Stannies v Auggies @ Hogwarts
Hometown advantage is at it's strongest in Bathurst but I don't think the reincarnated soul of Pope Francis could stop this result from happening. Auggies are off to their usual strong start out of the blocks and their results to date - especially against Scots - do not auger well for the blue and white.
An Auggies win and probably by a healthy margin.
