Done that
Ron Walden (29)
Trinity far too strong as the score suggests.(9 tries to 1 )
A huge penalty count in favor of Aloys , & consequently a corresponding advantage in the line outs to them , which for some reason Trinity didn't contest on the Aloys throw ins.
Best player on the ground was Debreczeni , who I think it can be fairly said toyed with the opposition .Also very prominant were Satiu (T/H ) & Morsello ( H)
Best for Aloys was Morrison (T/H) not particularly big but very busy
in the loose.

Shows what I know
Well, I got that wrong. I thought St Aloysius could push Trinity but they were never in it. Aloys had a decent game plan, which involved kicking to the corners and dominating Trinity's woeful lineout. But they couldn't do much with the ball they won. On this showing, they shouldn't get anyone in CAS 1sts though the No7 scored a good individual try with a strong run. Trinity's defence was tremendous - they played with maybe 35% of the ball, yet every time they won possession they looked like scoring, no matter how far out they were. In the forwards, Orr, Morsello and Sio ran powerfully, and Debreczini and Clark in the backs did pretty much as they pleased. Orr and Morsello will pose problems for the CAS selectors. For a lock and hooker, they're great workers around the field and powerful ball-carriers. But a lock and hooker are responsible for the lineout, and Trinity won only three all day. They should probably forget about intricate variations and just chuck the ball to whoever is most likely to catch it. Still - imagine what the scores would be if they could win lineout ball. On this showing, Debreczini and Sio must be in the CAS 1sts, and so should Clark even though he can play Under 16s.
Well done Cranbrook - though Trinity will be just as happy as the boys in white. Cranbrook upsetting Waverley gives Trinity a two-game lead at the mid-point of the competition.

Perhaps Waverley should have stuck with a winning side instead of dropping the 8 and 5 from the Aloys game?

wow thats interesting what happened to waverley i know theyre missing some players but they still beat knox the other week, seems that cranbrook may be underated by many teams as by looking at their record besides being smashed by trinity theyve been quite close for the majority of games
also in the 2nds is there a cas ruling as to if the game is won or if it is a draw or something
and does anyone know if CAS teams have been selected/announced yet

Waverley today were poor! I couldn't believe how well Cranbrook player, but no exscuse for the Waves forwards to play like they did! Lineouts :| scrums :| ...wow.

& it shows in the CAS squads listed above. When was the last time a CAS 1st XV had ZERO Waverley players - the old boys are not going to be pleased with this! But it's totally reflective of where the schools rank at the half way mark of the competition.
Trinity 13 players / 5 wins
Knox 8 players / 3 wins
Waverley 5 players / 3 wins
Barker 4 players / 2 wins
Aloys 5 players / 1 win
Cranbrook 3 players / 1 win

credit where credits due and trinity's dominance during the first half of the season has been shown in selections. 13 players having made the squads. I do think some players were unlucky from opposing schools having individually probably shown more spark than the trinity boys particularly in the forwards but keeping a familiar squad together does have its benefits. The non selections of injured "certainties" Charles Ingram Melsom (WAV), Cameron Clark (KNOX) and Chris Talakai (WAV) is as the selectors said proof that they would not be selecting injured players. Find it hard to justify only 5 picks from the Waverley squad that defeated knox and alo's without key players, but in saying this their outing at hordern today probably hindered more than benefited these selections

Based on these squads the CAS will get absolutely hammered by the GPS this year. The backrows and centres in particular will get dominated. This is one of the weakest CAS comps for years, highlighted by Waverleys low number of selections and their poor results. If the weather is dry i tip 30 + victories to GPS 1s and 2s

Get some humility - just because your beloved Waverley has taken one, does not mean that CAS is a weak side or that it’s a weak competition. Most times when the regularly inferior get up & over the usually strong, it suggests a strengthening of the competition.

Very astonishing that Will Patterson did not make CAS 1s alongside with Johnson not making it. Also a massive a suprise Jam Clark made opens CAS 1 infront of Coote

Mate - i have nothing to do with Waverley or the CAS for that matter. Totally neutral and watch a lot of rugby. Just telling it like it is. From what i have seen the CAS will struggle this year, particularly in the forwards...

CAS struggle most years - but not because Waverley or Knox are having ordinary years. My informants are telling me that the CAS competition (& therefore the CAS XV) might be stronger than years gone by. They say that the Trinity XV are playing genuinely attractive & expansive team based rugby, rather than the others falling over and letting them scramble to the top of the heap.

He only lasted a few minutes versus Barker - tackled after kicking the ball up field - linesman flagged it - ref spoke to the offending player - then packed a scrum with Barker feed. 4-6 weeks off!

Geez I hope Steyne's dislocated shoulder is mended well enough to cope with rep rugby.
