G, I will step in here before a number of people take your bait as being sincere with your comment. I actually agree with probably 99% of your comments, you get Rugby! BUT you are 1 of those who only wants 6 schools to play out for rulers of the universe, ie the AAGPS!. Bugger a better and...

Joker, Here my tips for this Sat, thx. 1. Kings by 19 2. Scots by 14 3. Newington by 10.

RR, I was referring to when they were in their age groups, all the way through, not last year when they were in year 1 of their 1st year in the Opens. Yep, it goes without saying what a difference a few KEY players make, and they had too many KEY players out. It's now about gaining match...

777, Here's an interesting bit of info re this Waves 1st team. Given the injuries we have had, it's been impossible to see just how strong they are. This team has a number back from last years 1s and 2s, and throughout the age groups (not that it means everything in the opens but it does mean...

Nice words H, Thx. Billy is a natural. Same applies to all the boys of every team, it goes without saying that this is the end of many of their years at their school, and it is very important that they get to have a real dig. Currently results would suggest that it's a Knox v Barker contest...

Yep. In , Ollie Aboud Flanker, Noah Tofaeono lock, Caleb Sinclaire-Harris centre, and Billy Lyons winger. Still injured Jonte Fidel a few weeks, Kahu Capper probably next week, and Zion Poitaha (season). Suspect their match fitness won't be 100% this Sat, but after the next 2 weeks...

J, you are in a class of your own. I am confident if you hadn't gone to the trouble you did then the GPS also wouldn't have the depth of records you have posted. Snort is terrific with stats on the CAS site, but I wouldn't expect him to emulate your efforts.

The teams have been announced for the Waves this Sat. Good news, 4 key 1sts back in ( 2 forwards and 2 backs), 2 backs still out, BUT it's a much stronger side than any time in the past. This will also bolster the 2nds/3rd and 16as, so we will now see what effect this has on the schools...

J, No one has kept this level of CAS records like your GPS analysis to my knowledge. What is known through the CAS Website (Rugby), is that since the last of the 6 schools entered the CAS in 1943 (Waverley), so from the 1944 Rugby season, that the comp winning numbers for the 1sts are as...

J, Kings by 12 Scots by 14 Joeys by 19 Cheers!

I think to add some balance to this view, last year the Waves didn't have many in the CAS 1s and probably not this year as well. In 2020 and 2021 the Waves sides were extremely strong, winning all 5 CAS games in 2020, and all 8 games played in 2021, prior to Covid shutting down the last 3 games...

Silly Snort, because they just will!

Fair enough, I assume you have seen all the props in the CAS?

RR, Certainly looks like Cranbrook will push hard to win this years CAS. Their strong performances so far, and quality players named by megarugbyman makes it clear that Brook should be in with a real chance of lots of CAS reps, and therefore a massive chance to win this year CAS comp. With...

Agree H, Today the 16as had 7 out, 2 through injury 5 playing the top grades, so the 16as got thumped which under normal circumstances would not happen. Our 1sts had it's hooker playing prop, and it's flanker playing hooker with1 genuine 1s prop, the other is injured, the 2 props in the 2nds...

Snort, Mostly bad luck but there was a trip to Japan, which was great, but the 1s and 2s played 4 games in 2 weeks and some injuries happened then. However more have also been incurred in the last 2 weeks. Nothing else has changed, eg same terrific coaches as the last 6-8 years and same...

This Sat the Waves have additional injuries from last weekends game v View, ie a 1sts prop and a key winger, to add to their list of 6 1sts players previously injured, none are back this weekend.. In addition, both 2nds props are also out v Oakhill, it's the worst list I have ever seen. Fair to...

Spot on Snort, it was Frasers dad, nice guy, and he was up beat about Trinity this year. P.S. Trinity won the Cricket - Comfortably!

Eagerly await the misguided Cricket responses!

No joke intended at all, and it probably won't happen but jeeze it would be great to see, imagine the school repercussions, and absolute joy of all, You would also hope it slows/reverses the growth of that horrible drop off sport, soccer.
