For this weeks SCSC (SomeCanSomeCan't) moment of the week you can't go past Oakhill's opening try
If I could draw your attention to 6:20

The class of Manly Harrold Matthews lock Lukas Butler sits up a beautiful tip ball for the up-and-coming Liam Boys who punches a stonker of a line to glide his way to the tryline. Love to see some eyes up footy from the young'uns.

Will be on the lookout weekly to highlight such spectacular moments that recognise that some can and some can't.

Hey fellas, just some useful insight on the stannies v gregs 1st XV game this weekend.

Was a great game of ISA rugby to watch with a close contest between both sides. Gregs having stannies on the ropes for the majority of the game with some great attacking shape within the outside backs. Stannies played a great brand of footy and showed a textbook rucking masterclass with their flankers being too good for their opposing numbers. Overall a few harsh penalties deciding the game resulting in stannies getting over gregs 27-22.

Has to be the upset of the round for sure.
Greg's firing
Pius firing
Already looking like a cracking season

Coming off a loss, I think Kinross will be hungry for a win, and I reckon they have what it takes to defeat Greg's. They really showed strong physicality against Pats, and, although losing still managed to put some good points on the board. Not sure what other teams are playing each other though?

Stannies forward pack looks promising with great physicality and overall mongrel about them. Backs went alright against a strong gregs backline. This season will be a nailbiter for sure.
 
Bases off results this season its hard to see anyone beating the auggies strong forwards and backs will be surprised if they lose any games

Some inside information for Oakhill this week

Liam boys, after an outstanding performance in the forwards, scoring himself a try, word on the street is he is still drinking and celebrating to big win on the weekend.

In other news, Oakhills 2xv are not focusing on the game against Riverview but rather the, so-called " friendly" match against the 16As they have every Thursday afternoon. This match is very heated, and big shots are put on for it, only being " bear hug".

Nathan Cayless shall be making his return this week after winning the SG ball grand final, The coaches don't know if he will be sober by Saturday due to the sheer amount of beers this young buck sunk.

HH out

Round 2 Tips:
Kinross v Gregs @ The Fortress (we're calling it this now??? Fine... urrgghhhhhhhhh)
At home, I would have tipped Kinross in a moderately comfortable win, but Gregs getting up over Stannies last weekend muddies the waters ... a lot! This one's going to be close but I think Kinross won't sleep walk their way into this game knowing what Gregs can do. I'm going to say Kinross by the slimmest of margins and wouldn't be surprised it it's a draw.

Pius v Pats @ Oxford Falls
I'm heading up to watch what i think will be the match of the round. The two Christian Brothers schools ripping in - as they do - every year - always - without fail! I've seen many a false dawn at Pius, only for them to go back to bed and sleep for the remainder of the season. But their results against Scots and Oakhill can't be ignored. On the flipside, the reports of St Pat's death appear to be greatly exaggerated! Whilst everyone predicted that the departure of Conti and Woods would lead to an African famine of results, their strong showing against a rock solid Trinity team and a win out west against Kinross tells me that there is still life in Strathfield yet!!!
I suspect though that this will be Pius' year. Predicting a blue and gold win with a try on the bell.

Stannies v Auggies @ Hogwarts
Hometown advantage is at it's strongest in Bathurst but I don't think the reincarnated soul of Pope Francis could stop this result from happening. Auggies are off to their usual strong start out of the blocks and their results to date - especially against Scots - do not auger well for the blue and white.
An Auggies win and probably by a healthy margin.

Game 1- Kinross at home will be tough by +9
Game 2- Pius results have been impressive at home at no more Conti and Woods. The Chatswood boys by ++ 11
Games 3- Stannies will be tough at home, the local ref is normally Stannies 16th Player, the barbecues will be firing steak sandwichs but Auggies are class ++18.

pius have a solid canteen
when i have been to oakhill it has been below par
sure pius can offer an okay sanga at best. Oakhill reigns mighty on this with kinross getting my second, this is expected from kinross with a long drive out west they best have something to make up for it.
