Seen a bit of chat about Ben Wright (Year 10 Scots 1stXV Winger). Feel Bad for the kid was getting rubbish talk thrown at him all game at Waverley. Heard hes been going well and happy for the Young Buck. Is he getting that GPS Jumper, im not sure. He definetly can but when you have boys like Harry Haigh (Heard Hes Transitioning to Wing) and also is a MEATHEAD/WORKHORSE. Keen to see how they go, but UPPA CAS!
Cheers Men,

Obviously the whole team is compromised with big voices in the backline gone. I'm not sure if the improved scoreline for Shore against Joeys was due to their improvement or Joey's struggling.

Izak Holmes and Jack Procter, both standout players in the Barker u16A team, have developed a formidable 9-10 combination. Holmes' sharp decision-making at scrum-half complements Procter's dynamic playmaking at fly-half, orchestrating the attack with precision. Their synergy was evident in their wins against Oakhill, Shore and Knox. The team undefeated so far with a very strong forward pack.

Hi B-Tizzy,

I am just curious as to whether there are any updates on the CAS forum knowing your status and reputation on there? I am going bat shit crazy from CAS forum withdrawal, with my most recent development being the shakes. I am seriously considering switching back to Discord to discuss the current state of CAS right now.

Cheers.

Reviewing that shore game should that it was predominantly a forwards game. Scrum count probably piled up to above 20, the shore Loosehead even got a yellow for a scrum infringement. Joeys back definitely not what they used to be. However this is expected. Shore really showed up in defence, as watching the game showed the possession counter to be 80%-20% joeys way. Will be great to see how they manage as the season progresses…

Hey boys,
Just contininuing on about Harry Haigh, heres what i have to say
Harry Haigh, a promising young talent, plays as a flanker for the Scots Under-16A rugby team. Known for his relentless work ethic and aggressive tackling, Haigh brings a dynamic presence to the back row. His ability to read the game and disrupt opposition plays has earned him recognition as a rising star in Scots youth rugby. With strong ball-carrying skills and a tireless engine, Haigh consistently supports both offensive and defensive phases, embodying the gritty, high-intensity style that defines a top-tier flanker. As he continues to develop, he’s one to watch in the future of Scots rugby.
Cheers Men

this bloke is not that good. An average flanker at best. If you want to talk about a number 7 with an outstanding work ethic int he under 16s, take a look at Riverview Tom Symmons. Gen Blue 15s last year this kid is the definition of a game built of work ethic.
 
I believe from discussions across Joeys, Riverview, Newington & Kings, this team as never contested scrums in previous years. That is U13A, U14A, U15A and YTD U16A's. The competition looks forward to seeing Scots pony up for the rest of the fixture or play with a man down.

Kings also had the normal 3 out on the weekend. No excuses, all school needs to ensure they have a complete squad ready to play in the U16A's.
Scots completely dominated Shore scrum today…yes…they were contested. 24-17 to Scots after an early lead by Shore 0-12

Wouldn’t say Scot’s dominated shores scrum. Shores tight head showed good composure and got a penalty in a crucial position. A bad penalty was costly against shore for pushing up. Not to sure about that law. A good contest though in the game
 
The video clearly shows the Scots "attempted tackler" lost contact with the Kings ball carriers foot as he falls to the ground 50cm from the try line. The Kings player was untouched so free to continue his forward momentum to score the try. He bounced forward. The mature referee was 2m away and correctly awarded the try. Law 14.3 states a success tackle requires the ball carrier to be held. You removed that bit from the insert above.
Just to close this off and clarify the rules of rugby. Fundamental rule of rugby is that players must be on their feet to play the ball. Kings player was on his knees, never got back on his feet and he did not bounce forward…it was a crawl or caterpillar. He had no momentum moving him towards try line. Also, the ball was already placed on the ground when he first dropped and he subsequently picked the ball up while still off his feet to caterpillar/crawl to the try line. Had he got back on his feet to score … then it would have been fine. Simply not a try.
