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.

Seems like Gregs are the real deal this year in 1sts.

Almost a complete split of results for Pats v Pius with some blowout scorelines both ways.
In the 1sts, as predicted, Pius too strong at home with a comprehensive win over Pats. It will be great watching Gregs v Pius next week!

Does anyone know if St. Pius are continuing their term 2 holiday exhibition match against Gregory Terrace 3rd XV (Spring Hill, Brisbane) this season?

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.

Believe Oakhills 1sts loss was due to the absence of Rory Wilbow. Heard he will be back in the squad next week but the result on the weekend was a big reflection of Rory wilbows dominant hit ups and relentless effort in an around the ball. however, it was evident the only reason oakhill was in a reasonable margin was all due to the back up back rower or 'super sub' bowen cleary. caps off to him that was a great effort kid, definitely going places!

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'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.

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.

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 each

Yes that's a real concern

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.

They are looking in good form , will be a good tester for them against an in form Pius side.

Tips for the weekend:
Pats v Auggies at Breen Oval
I'd love to see the Blue, Black and Gold pull an upset here but I can't see it happening. I'd suggest anything less than a losing margin of 30 would be considered a win.
Oakhill v Kinross at Damien Oval
Ordinarily, you'd think that this would be a comfortable win for the blood and pus but given what we've seen so far this year, it may not be smooth sailing. I'm still backing Oakhill for the win, but Kinross will definitely make a fist of it.
Greg's v Pius at Gregory Hills
Definitely match of the round. Both teams on 1 and 1 and a win today sets them up for the remainder of the comp. If Pius are to be considerred the real deal, they have to win away from home and I think they can this week. Pius by less than a try

That's a paddling. I suspect they're going to do that to most schools this year
