Interesting changes for Trinity. Dom Pham (playing in 18) had a very good game as a substitute, but Trinity does not want for size and power in the pack and a fast #7 leading the charge to the breakdown looks a good move. Barbati is a seasoned performer and adds a touch of class to a backline...

Ryan Longville. He has a long history of playing in rep sides and at this stage, I'd imagine he's the favourite to play fullback for the CAS 1st XV.

Looking forward to Snort's report on the Trinity match. In short, Trinity was too big, strong and fast for Cranbrook. The game was over at half-time, with the boys from Summer Hill up 52-7 on the back of a dominant forward performance. Plenty of stand out players, but the platform was largely...

He was brilliant today, including scoring an incredible try off a kick return where he stepped through the entire Cranbrook team.

62-7 with a kick to come as Longville scores a magnificent individual try... Also looking likely for CAS 1sts I dare say.

Oh that's terribly bad luck. Hope he mends well.

I think the 8th was Jordan Morris (Trinity)

Did you really watch the game or is this sour grapes?

I saw McClennan against Aloys and he was very physical, with some hammering tackles in defence (quite legitimately) leaving opposition players winded and slow to get up. He picked up a yellow card (I think for a careless high tackle), but he came back on and scored a barnstorming try to seal the...

Obviously it will be competitive. Diamond (A) looks like he would be a real handful on the end of a slick and fast backline... he would have to be in contention. Morris (T) played for NSW under 17s who beat Queensland up at Ballymore (Wayland captained NSW), so he must be a chance if fit.

I expect there will be some Waverley and Trinity players in the side, in particular some of the boys who played in the NSW U17s side earlier this year.

He wasn't sin binned for being a thug; it looked like a fairly innocuous high tackle. He otherwise led his team around well and scored the winning try to seal a tight game. It was a good afternoon of schoolboy rugby. There was a rather charming Mother's Day function and the atmosphere was...

At Summer Hill, the warm up games were split, with the home side getting up 19-0 in the 3rds and the visitors taking the 2nds 27-0. A nasty incident marred the 2nd XV match when the Aloys #7 punched an opposition player in the back of the head while his back was turned. This cowardly act was...

Trinity won 22-10

Trinity v Aloys 10-10 at half time. Trinity's line out is appalling, but scrambling defence has kept a better organised Aloys team at bay since 5 mins in, when Aloys strolled over from a good back line move. Aloys look more likely, but if Trinity can win some line out ball get some...

I think Trinity plays Southern Districts U18s at Woolahra Oval at 11am Saturday.

Does anyone know the draw?

Wayland captained the South Harbour side in the NSW Junior Gold Cup (wearing 1 but playing 8) and the responsibility appears to sit well with him. He displayed a more mature approach which exhibited by him remaining a powerful ball runner and heavy hitter in defence, but without any of the silly...

I think that Trinity has its best player from last year, prop Harry McClennan returning. Wayland played at prop for NSW and if TGS field him there then they'll have two very skillful and mobile props up front. In the second row I think Liam Rasch is also back, after a fine year last year...

I know nothing about the selection process, have no involvement in junior rugby and no agenda. But I was there on Sunday. The kid in question, playing 13, was head and shoulders the best player out there. He showed extreme pace and evasiveness, an excellent kicking game, passed well and despite...
