TheCow, Thanks for info on ref. James Leckie ... absolutely perfect. Quality.
Personally I think it is great that Joeys 2nds will play Barker 1sts. At least from a selfish perspective.
also note that it will be possible to see 13As ... albeit on one of Joeys smaller grounds ... for such a great rugby school, it is just the main oval that is so amazing. Shame 13As aren't on the main oval or at least a full sized pitch.
In any event setting up nicely for a great day of running rugby at HH. Barker does not want to be underestimated in 2017 and so I think that should be a good wrestle.
I spoke to a mate from $cots and he was full of praise for Joeys ... on their 31 v 28 win. He said Joeys fully deserved their win, and he said Reilly was relatively quiet and the other Joeys back were particularly courageous in containing Yassmin and Billy Smith.
He did however say that by the end of the game, the Joeys backs looked completely busted, and he reckons Smith and Yassmin were gaining ascendency.
He also said $scots were without Savala and someone else ... forget the name?
In any event, sounds like Joeys physio will be busy this week, and Joeys backs will be in for another test ... albeit none of Waverley backs are quite as physically intimidating as Smith and Yassmin
