Seems like Gregs are the real deal this year in 1sts.I watched Kinross and St Gregs on Saturday in Orange. Kinross had a good day throughout the grades but ended up on the wrong side of the ledger in the 1st XV which ended up with a 24-5 win for Gregs. Scores were even at half time but the Gregs backs were to strong and opened Kinross up in the 2nd half. Kinross were missing a few troops from last week and fought hard but couldn't match it.
No it was a close game but Oakhill got upDid Pius beat Oakhill?
Post contact metres from View was far superior to Oakhill across the whole field and the lack of discipline from Oakhill will continue to cost them throughout the season. Not looking good for Oakhills rugby program if they didn't win any over the weekend.Oakhill lost to Riverview 45-26. Score probably flatters View a bit, with Oakhill throwing a couple of intercepts late in the piece which saw them run away with it.
Across the board, Oakhill didn't win a single fixture against View.
Oakhill's forwards were outplayed by Pius in round 1. Four tries right through the middle. Their outside backs saved them in the last 10 minutes. These backs may get them through but no certainties to finish on top.Post contact metres from View was far superior to Oakhill across the whole field and the lack of discipline from Oakhill will continue to cost them throughout the season.

I heard Oakhill did win a few across the weekend in lower graded, younger age groups. I agree it is not looking great at present. There will need to be some investment made at Oakhill College, if they are to execute on their rugby union potential (which is absolutely there). There is no Head of Rugby Union at Oakhill College & there hasn’t been for some time. There is also no Rugby “program” - a program infers there is a formal structure to some degree - as each Oakhill team’s approach to rugby, as well as how the team is coached, is quite different.Post contact metres from View was far superior to Oakhill across the whole field and the lack of discipline from Oakhill will continue to cost them throughout the season.

It is believed that Pius will travel up in the upcoming holidays for their annual Gold Coast tour and will play Nudgee and Gregory Terrace, likely to be the 2nd or 3rd XV of eachDoes anyone know if St. Pius are continuing their term 2 holiday exhibition match against Gregory Terrace 3rd XV (Spring Hill, Brisbane) this season?
Yes that's a real concernPost contact metres from View was far superior to Oakhill across the whole field and the lack of discipline from Oakhill will continue to cost them throughout the season. Not looking good for Oakhills rugby program if they didn't win any over the weekend.
You might find that your winning Oakhill Ds were playing Riverview Fs. They often split the round in those lower grades because of not enough teams.I heard Oakhill did win a few across the weekend in lower graded, younger age groups.

They are looking in good form , will be a good tester for them against an in form Pius side.Seems like Gregs are the real deal this year in 1sts.
