Kings v Shore -
The Kings pack, in the scrum at least, were quite dominant over their opposition. Without the U19 law, suggest their would have been a number of tightheads to Kings. The Shore prop before the concussion was playing very well and happy for him to be vying for a rep jersey with Cutler from Riverview. Happy to go with the opinions about Kings back row but thought the #7 Ryan played well. Kings have a habit of going for mobility in their scrum over size but the 2nds prop who came on in the 1sts after a rampaging MOTM game in the seconds has put the coaches on notice and looks like he is cut from Grecian marble as his background suggests. I though Osborne and Rixon all but blotted each other out as they matched each other for pace but much the case across the backs except Orpen for Kings who does a good Nathan Grey impersonation with his direct running. Osborne's first half one he may like to forget with a couple of unusual errors for him. The Shoreman I sat next to was wondering why their #9 was having an off game before realising he was a late replacement for Haskins. The referee was a class act. Think he is our main man bound for the Olympic Sevens to officiate. Great to have those sort of guys doing premier schoolboys. Good
crowd considering the weather and the support showed by both schools made it a great day. Great to see all the Aloy boys getting their rugby fix for the day in the crowd.
