CAS Rugby 2023

Don't be surprised if Juan De Lange comes off the bench for Barker this Saturday. I've heard he's been running well for the 2nd xv! Big, hard-running South African boy, built like a rhino, they just breed them differently over there. After a stint back home in South Africa he will be rampaging, I'd be cautious if I was trinity. Also heard he causes a ruckus on and off the field
I’L make sure to look out for him

In the same vane that every GPS school in Brisbane run a sports scholarship programe for rugby. Every school. You should see what Knox does in the CAS tennis. All these year 10 and 11 kids in the 1sts and 2nds. Is anyone complaining? Nope. It is how the world is.
Look I won't dispute the scholarship issue surrounding schools, but bizarre that you've referenced Knox tennis as the example for CAS. Forget about the fact that, if you're good enough even to be considered for a scholarship at a CAS school, you wouldn't accept it because there's much better pathways for your tennis, it's much more common across all CAS schools to have year 10/11 students playing in 1st/2nds than say rugby or football (due to physicality difference from lower grades to 1st/2nds much smaller than any contact sports). Just because someone who moved up doesn't mean they're on scholarship - put simply tennis at Knox just has more students involved than the rest of the CAS schools, talent pool is naturally higher with a more competitive environment.

It’s also against CAS by laws and St aloysius had points taken off then for doing the same in football.

Those still searching for the photo(if you don’t believe me), Barker congratulated all CAS reps on the 21st of June and posted it on Facebook. And that post has a lot of likes.
If this in reference to this season, Aloys football beat barker 4-0 and the result was void as they used a fresh substitution who arrived late and was subbed on. Nothing to do with referees

Waverley vs Aloys at Death Valley The Public Park will be closer than people think, this is a matchup St Aloysius often gets up for. However, I think R.Stock will get up for this fixture, and as I will be in attendance it would be a delight to meet the young man. Good luck to both sides.
Ruben will indeed be ready for this match up as he aims to send off his year 12's with a win. His target pilfs are 12 this game.
However, you may not be able to meet Ruben as he has security with him as soon as he leaves the field, you may be lucky if you put through a request.

Reminds me of someone I know from Waverley

Waverley "Weapons" XV
1. Pule
2. Dowling
3. Stock
4. Makatoa
5. Jones
6. Van Buren
7. Aboud
8. Walker
9. Schneider
10. Turunui
11. Lyons
12. Evans
13. Sinclair-Harris
14. Harper
15. Feildel
I believe that Jacob Hassan is playing instead of Sinclair-Harris as a change that should have occured at the start of the season
P. Fragias instead of Pule

Can we move on from the Barker vs Cranbrook call? It's seriously just a dog chasing its own tail at this point.
One last comment and I think this is the most important here; if the referee had blown his whistle and the play was ‘dead’, then under no circumstances can that try be given. Award Barker a scrum if you believe the call has disadvantaged them but no way can a try be given, regardless of the accuracy of the original call.

The 2s CAS competition is shaping up nicely. Cranbrook look like they may have a repeat of last year if they beat Knox. Speaks to the depth of certain schools rugby programs...

Knox are going to carve Cranbrook so puts Waverley 2s in a good position for a 3way tie between Cranbrook, Knox and Waverley. Waverley is calling for a rematch between Cranbrook 2s and Waverley 2s for the shield. Waves to win.
