double v 2
Frank Row (1)
Having only seen trinity and waverley play on the weekend i cant say some of the new players ive seen from both sides are better than any of the players from the other CAS schools. However, i can say that i am 100% certain that the CAS I side will feature waverley captain Nick K at hooker (potential captain of the team) and Ben O'Donneld at fly half. I wouldnt be surprised to see Ola from trinity at 8 or on the bench and the halfback whicker possibly the starting 9 for CAS 1's. Corias, the 7 from trinity could be in contention for a CAS II's spot if he gets into the ruck more. Ryan Powter, Matt Hooper and Barton Heeney from waverley are also in strong contention for either team with strong performances on the weekend. Without actually seeing them play this year but knowing some of the players from last year, i wouldnt be surprised if barker dominate the selections for both sides.Possible CAS XV based on my first round viewings:
1. Gan
2. Kennan
3. Bleach
4. Heeney
5. King
6. Storey
7. O'Connor
8. Sturzenegger
9. Stirzaker
10. Leaver
11. Stals
12. Ebeling
13. McKay
14. Paek
15. Jones
Some would wonder why there are not many Barker players in the side. There are the two obvious standouts, Kennan and Jones. I feel that other schools have better players, but do not mould well as a side. I know this is controversial and is only an early prediction however.
