Looking forward to the huge matchup this weekend down at Death Valley and I think it will ultimately be the decider in who wins CAS as I can see neither team losing the rest of their games afterwards. Knox comes into this game with more wins under their belt from the preseason, with convincing wins against Shore, Stannies and Oakhill and a huge scalp in Joeys at HH. Even in the losses with Newington and Scots, they showed in the first half that they can compete with any team. The worries came in the second half of each of their losses with each game having some bad luck and controversial calls resulting a complete blowout in the scoreline against the Knox boys. But with some key players returning for the Waverly game, in E.Grobler and S.Rechner, Knox would be going into this tie feeling that they can get a result. Although Waverly only picked a one win in their preseason against Auggies, they showed their competitiveness in draws with top draw GPS schools in Kings and Riverview and a close game ending in a loss against Joeys. The Waverly boys will also have that extra edge in the fact the game is in Death Valley, with Waverly looking to bring a huge crowd out which will surely aim to intimidate the Knox boys. All in all set for a cracker of a match which will surely be tight unless we see another Knox blowout. I predict a win for the Knox boys but it will be close.

Ok into ghost mode ...No info to report on Waverley
Knox could be facing a full strength juggernaut
Or the red hot Waverley 16As could be depleted by injuries
All I will say is a good referee has been appointed
He will ( based on his joeys pedigree) allow a free flowing game, where the boys will determine the result
Altgh that ignores the power of the rugby gods... so it’s going to be titanic
Much as I dislike stereotyping...I do love tribalism
So hoping the north shore supporters bring their passion
And one way or another it will be a gladiatorial spectacle
Tipping Waverley in a high scoring affair
Not decided until last 5 minutes

SDW - it will indedd be titanic.
From the 16A's, through 3rd's, 2nd's and 1st's, it will be an enthralling afternoon of rugby from 12PM at Queens Park.
I hope to see you there - should I look for a bearded one with glasses?

Hi Snort, yep it's accuracy like that which drew out my comment of the mystery buyer (singular).

Such a shame that you can't get there mate. Waverley 16A's have lost a few players to the 1XV so it should be a cracking game. Cranners vs Barker 16A's should also be a cracker, I heard that Cranners 16A's smashed Aloys who they lost to last year.

3:15... The same as every other CAS team for as long as I can remember

Good to see they have the soccer on the QP1 at 10:15.
That will clear the stands... in all seriousness this is a crunch game
If they can beat Knox ... they will have 6 weeks to get the team back to full strength, to face a somewhat cocky Cranbrook.
I think Cranbrook will beat Barker ... with the same game plan they tried on Waverley .... namely everyone target Moretti, only this time it will be everyone target Pollard.
It's going to be Pollard versus 8 blokes ... and I think I am starting to believe the Brook hype

Are you insinuating that the round two match against Aloys at QP is a gimme win????
If so,,,,,,,,,,, I agree wholeheartedly with you.
I personally can not see Waverley losing their first three matches, all at home. That momentum will then be hard to stop for the remaining away clashes with Barker and Trinity.
I'm impartial, but can't see any other result than a CAS premiership to W in 2019.
My only reservation is the 10's ability to steer the team and carry out the game plan.
