Knox - 11 (8 in firsts/3 in seconds)

Barker - 8 (4 in firsts/4 in seconds)

Waverley - 8 (2 in firsts/4 in seconds/2 reserves)

Cranbrook - 5 (1 in seconds/4 reserves)

Trinity - 3 (1 in firsts/1 seconds/1 reserve)

Aloys - 2(1 reserve)

8 from Knox firsts in CAS 1sts is a big call - they are undefeated though - so well done Knox.

Waverley boys well represented. I’m not sure what else Jonti M-F needed to do today.

I’m not sure how ah-Colt isn’t higher.

And the same mistake as last year. An u16’s player in the 1sts.

I know Cranbrook have had a rubbish game today losing to trinity and their season is effectively over. But I think this is a major injustice having Kaleb Ah-Colt on the bench in the CAS 2s this is a player that has shown his class to a major extent I understand the Knox front row being strong but too see him not starting in the CAS 2s shows poor political selection choices that has plagued CAS for years.

Yeah just a weird one for me. Almost beat Waverley carrying the team on his back. Kid is class. The cream will rise to the top eventually.

Well politics at it's absolute best!

The Cranbrook prop Ah Colt was an absolute must, we seem to get the front row wrong every year, but really hope I am wrong this year.
Having watched todays Waves V barker game, the Waves had enough opportunities to win by more, in the last 10 mins they pushed the Barker pack off the ball several times, clearly dominant at the end.

I am surprised that this "finally" fully strength and unbeaten CAS team, having beaten 2 of the fancied CAS schools, remember barker beat Riverview and Newington, even got 2 players in the CAS 1sts team! BUT congratulations to all our CAS boys best of luck trust we will prevail!

Jonas Dowling has played nothing. Ever. Didn’t make CAS last year.
That’s because Waverley help develop their players. Rather than just picking up the next 5 best players from gen blue u15’s and claiming they run a good program.

A real credit to Waverley that they developed a kid like Jonas into a NSW level hooker.

Far out. I just can’t agree with the u16’s kids unless they are going to be wallabies. It’s a bad selection. Lets them go the u16’s pathway.
They will end up there eventually with NSW. CAS selectors are just on a different planet. Literally the only GPS kid to make it as an u16 is Joseph Sualli. So unless they are that good.. they shouldn’t be there. It’s not fair to the kids.

Final Waverley Vs Barker Scores:

13A - Waverley 65-5
13B - Waverley 95-0
14A - Waverley 29-7
14B - Waverley 20-19
14C - Waverley 59-14
15A - Waverley 58-8
15B - Waverley 74-0
16A - Barker 13-5
16B - Waverley 26-22
4th XV - Barker 21-17
3rd XV - Waverley 38-0
2nd XV - Waverley 38-0
1st XV - Waverley 29-17

In summary, the results aren't unexpected... Only 4 close games and 2 wins to Barker.

Unfortunately, I fear for the future of Barker Rugby.

On another note, Waverley have only lost 5 CAS games in total so far. 3 against Cranbrook and now 2 vs Barker.

Would be good if we can get a similar table for Cranbrook Vs Trinity and Knox Vs Aloys

A ruthless day of rugby by Waverley. Well done.

Congrats to the 5 Aloys boys picked in the CAS teams. Especially the two powerhouse year 11s in the shadows, who will be the pillars for the SAC team next year.

Just for an indication that either hope spring eternal or perhaps that the end is not nigh, although Aloys lost all (but one) games today v Knox, it got worse as the age groups went up in age. Aloys' best team remains their 13As who got yet another win today, 14-7 v Knox. If the assumption was that all things remained equal and those boys continued to compete against the same kids through the next 5 years, then it could be interesting. You all know what they say about assumptions however.
