Thank you Joker. It will be interesting to see how the double round works out for the GPS teams. It seems like a very close race in the GPS comp. As for the CAS, well I think the top three schools will battle it out.

Not a fan of the double round.

No idea but I always hold a soft spot for the lads.
I loved when they beat Waverley at Death Valley in the biggest upset since this skinny sheep herder took out the Scots boy, I mean Goliath.
Couple of cracking good tries.

This is especially funny when you remember there are now 5 boys I believe from that years Waverley team (Levi Milford, Sea Aholei, Fritz Janke-Tavana, Miles whatever his last name is and Ron Volkman) are all now playing professional footy or on the cusp of doing so... The Aloys boys are probably graduating from law and medicine right about now. Credit where credit is due. Onya Aloys.

I believe all this boys were in the team that year. Could be wrong though.

Bloody hell they looked fantastic! Some of that backline play was as good as it gets. Well done lads.

Watched Trinity play St Augustine's last Friday.

Trinity has ample size, with their openside flanker being around 6'3 to 6'4. They looked pretty good I thought, and I believe the scoreline doesn't reflect their ceiling of potential. No. 8 was very physical and caused the Auggies forwards some nightmares, but to their credit, they matched with Trinity's size advantage and physicality and defended commendably. The eventual death of Trinity came through Auggies backline, pure class, and silky plays gained mass amounts of ground. In saying that, the Trinity 9 and 13 played well. I wouldn't count them out just yet, they do have the potential to beat Cranbrook and place in the top 4. Auggies to beat Cranbrook this week though, they are already battle hardened and look substantially more structured as a result of their early preseason and trial period, will be close though.

You said earlier Trinity forwards were showing up and proving to show to cause Auggies nightmares. Last season when trinity played cranbrook they struggled with their forward pack and their backs. I do agree whilst Auggies might have the advantage with their backs, Cranbrook will not only do what trinity did but better and stronger.

Hi all,
Myself and @Rugby Leauge will be following Cranbrook's campaign this season. There is a lot of belief in camp this year with a lot of 1sts and 2nds players returning from last year. The strengths will come in the forwards and kicking game and speed in the backline. A few players to watch - Ah-Colt (3), Girle (5), Jackson (8), and Allen (10) - all have a great chance at cracking the CAS 1sts team.

Team List for the 1st trial against Auggies:
1. Joe Rouse
2. Jed Smith
3. Kaleb Ah-Colt (c)
4. Fred May
5. Tom Girle
6. Cameron McKenzie
7. Dan O'Regan
8. Noah Jackson
9. Oliver Patterson
10. Jaxson Allen
11. Stefan Ferster
12. Cooper Rathie
13. Lance Tovio
14. Dylan Roach
15. Ollie Crowther
16. Dylan Melvey (returning from injury)

Don't know much about the Auggies team but from what I've heard their electric backline and physical forwards will be a good first test for Cranbrook.

Very good attempt but not quite right, there would be several changes eg 14 in the 1sts is ineligible as he is now too old, and several other spots are probably not right, but it's just hypothetical.
