Hi all,

I am curious to learn of any talent in the younger year groups of the CAS comp. Any young guns to look out for?

Thanks.

Knox 16's

Saia Enasio (outside backs)
Nick Stokes (lock)

Both boys meant to be 15s, and have very developed games

I know Saia has some extremely talented older brothers, all playing very high honours at a club and schoolboy level, but it seems Saia may be the best of them all.

Nick has thrived at a rep level for years, and hear he was a key player for Knox's 15a side last year.

Interesting to see how these remarkable young men go this season and progressing into opens next year

I believe Trinity's best up and coming team is their 15As who had a 14 all draw with Joeys this past weekend.

I do 100% agree with this, although I've heard Joeys were carrying a few injuries (I'm not saying this makes all the difference), as well as multiple chances to put more points on the board. It seemed Joeys couldn't quite execute the dominant win they were expecting.

Nonetheless, Trinity is a very strong side this year and have some amazing outside backs to look out for as well as a talented number 8. They played a very fast and aggressive attacking game which could easily blow over any CAS team with the right execution, however, it seemed Joeys just held that defensive edge throughout the game, which saved Trinity from putting more points up.

I think if the match was played again it could go anyway with both sides promising very talented teams this year. Excited to see how they go in their comps this year.

Regards

If Barker win after winning just 1 game in Japan, that will be a sad indictment on the quality of Schoolboy rugby in Australia

To be fair Barker were very honourable in giving all touring players good game time at Sanix and mixing up combinations - when they had most of their perceived 'stars' on together they looked very strong, and the time their 'developing' players got (alongside the stars in battle which would have helped them immeasurably) will be invaluable if injuries occur..... tomorrow night v SHORE will be the truest sign of their potential, and as a Knox diehard and knowing the current age groups very very well, they're a big chance of going very very well....

They won 1 game and were comfortably beaten in the 5th to 8th playoffs
Spin however you want, long way to go, to win 1 game.

as stated, I'm a Knox diehard and not trying to 'spin' anything - most schools/coaches I think would have taken a far different approach, but if you watch eac h game (I did) there's a lot of talent that could change the trajectory, fast

Which of the games on youtube is the best to watch to get the right impression of the talent that could change the trajectory, fast - honest question

Barker College vs Kyoto Kogakuin imo

A show of 'stars' and these 'developing' players against a full strength Japanese schoolboy side.
