Seen some good things from Scots 5th XV with a dominant win over Kings. 30 something nil. Will see how they hold up against stronger opponents (Joeys by the sounds of it).

Hannon (J) vs Makasini (N) could be the highest quality 2nd XV matchup we have ever seen. Whilst Hannon is organising with the No.10 jersey and Makasini will likely play on the wing, the difference in position won't matter as I'm sure Makasini will still be heavily involved. Those in attendance at Heaven's Pasture will be very lucky to see such a high quality match up in the 2nd XV.

I see where you're coming from, but I believe the Joeys have a stronger overall team. It's important to remember that victories will not come from a single player it's the collective effort that makes the difference.

Excited to see how having Wendt (E) at fullback will differ and change this for Shore.

Agree! pre-season chat focused on the size (lack of) from the Shore forward pack. Hard to compare to years gone by and the likes of Baxter & Harveson, but across last two games they have proved themselves to be strong and most importantly very tough.

Perhaps a rethink on the internal investment made in certain students across the schools...

Minto was originally from Waverley, and only joined Joeys last year. Little bitta music scholarships here and there, but it's alright, it's Joeys no one bats an eye.

Agreed, some schools offer places to boys who are exceptional at a certain sport (majority of the time it is rugby however)

I think they have a nice structure. The framework is good, but the execution has lacked in the final 10. If they can close it out, they could see a result...

Will be interesting with Wentd filling in the full back role, hopefully they can hold on to the final moments where they slipped last week. Shore will be hard to stop if they can fill those gaps.

Totally, I felt, it was a similar scenario in a few of their trial games, coming from behind, where they needed to hold their energy and playing

Hopefully the injection of Wendt will put a stop to this theme of not being able to close out games.

Agreed, as well as callaghan returning the week after and bassingthwaighte a few more after that. Once Shores at full strength there backs will rise to the level the shore forwards are playing at and they (if no more injuries occur) will be lethal...

Agreed, I think Shore's lineout maul this week will be critical against Scots, if they can complete.

They are always strong in and around lineouts. Hopefully this week will be no different.
