Luke Steel is a great prospect for Cranbrook School this year, with his endless hard work and fitness, definitely a gem to look out for.
Not if their music department has anything to do with it.Barker for the spoon this year
Talk of a few new starters in year 10 and 11. The percussion section will be loaded.Not if their music department has anything to do with it.
I have been told there are around +25 Europe/UK based players who could quite easily make an external Aussie team that would more than match the wallabies. The are all there as standard of rugby is better and the $$$ for some are 3/4 times that what they could make in Super rugby. Your spot on kids in the UK play somewhere between 15-23 games a season, the CAS have 5 comp games plus few trial games thrown in.The divisions are not the problem. It is the number of games played each year. When you were in Lyon you might have checked out some U16 or U19 rugby. Regardless of division, the boys in France are playing 30 plus games per year. I wouldn’t change the traditional associations at all. However, perhaps extend the season to allow the top 2 or 3 schools in each association nationally plus 1 or 2 Barbarians teams to capture good players at weak schools playoff for an All Australians championship. In reality, changing school rugby is deck chairs and titanic stuff, if the pro game is broke and the value of tv rights can’t be increased. There is probably one or more world class Australian XV worth of players offshore appearing for other countries and clubs and unavailable to Super rugby or the Wallabies.
Yyyyep - I get all my ISA news from the CAS site!Thanks to the ISA thread, pre-season and Henry Plume schedule now listed on the CAS website for all schools (well for 1/2s)

As with last year Knox will sneak past Joeys and dismantle Shore.Tough for Knox losing the first 2 games of their centenary year.
I think its for the 16/15/14 and 13 age group not the 1sts and 2nds. (they have the 7 a side comp)I thought Cranbrook had a trial game against Scots on May 4th?
I’m pretty sure Knox will play Newington in the holidays like last yearTo summarise the pre-season. Obviously in the main season everyone plays each other once.
