I saw the second half. It was closely contested. Knox won but Trinity were pressing the Knox line for long periods. The Knox No 10 had a very good game.

I think it's well worth exploring - parents not to mention the boys will very quickly tire of battling Sydney Saturday morning traffic for half a game or less. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not a reply to thread but can't see how to post a new message - Trinity convincing winners in U 13As - great day for rugby - both the U 13 A and B games played without linesmen. Seems strange they can't organize this.

"Waverley providing security to keep their vocal Old Boys under control Under the circumstances, I think Knox showed exceptional composure for schoolboys. I may be wrong, however, I don't believe that they were penalised once for foul play. Despite winning 41-0 in a hostile away environment "...

Is there any sort of system that monitors yellow cards eg if a player records two yellow cards within a certain timeframe he gets an automatic suspension Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Knox 29 Waverley 0 - 20 minutes into second half - very strong performance by Knox - Waverley resolute but Knox forwards dominant and backs combining well Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Tks for your reply - I agree with much of it but think there may be other factors at play as well .

An interesting question and I have no idea of the answer. At the risk of being tangential - I wonder why until recently when Ed Cowan made the Australian Test team there had been no private school cricket test players from NSW for a very long time. Ed Cowan was a Cranbrook student. This is in...

My prediction- no matter what the result there will be serious excuse making and wringing from supporters of the losing team. I don't suppose it is possible that the die hards would acknowledge that if team x wins it is simply that and not a reflection of the intrinsic superiority of boys who...

that goes without saying - if Cranrook beat Aloys they win the shield and no opinions will be entered into. Cranbrook will be worthy winners if that is the case. Their reputation has not been enhanced though by having Knox put 52 points on the board in the return clash. The ten game comp is...

late match report Aloys V Knox I hadn't been to Aloys home ground since 1977 and it looks a lot smaller than it did then. The weather did the right thing and there was barely a drop of rain during the game and at times it was almost hot when the clouds parted for a while. Aloys began strongly...

agreed and to paraphrase Yogi Berra good offence will beat good defence every time and vice versa

Apparently scores at Knox are never a true indication unlike scores at Cranbrook and anyway Cranbrook werent trying their hardest

Knox has lost two games - one by three points and one by two. They have convincingly won all the others and by large margins. The defence by Cranbrook was first class but to simplify the Knox losses to "can't handle good defence" is unwarranted. I didn't see the Waverley game but the Cranbrook...

I think it is going to be tough for Cranbrook because Knox have a point to prove. The Knox defence has improved and the back line combination looked very sharp V St Aloysius. On the negative side the Knox scrum is vulnerable at times and their line out can also be shaky. I think Knox will win a...

Knox 26 Aloys 5 half time

Cranbrook stronger in both scrum and line out but an exaggeration to label them as too strong in the forwards. Usually when a side is too strong they don't win with the aid of a truly wicked bounce and a penalty on full time. Not taking anything away from Cranbrook. Their defence for periods of...

Glorious autumn day - hoping for some closer games this week.
