CAS Rugby 2025

[NSWelshman in London]

IS this just for Rugby or all Winter sports?

Good question, I believe it's just for rugby. The first line of the official statement is " The General Committee of the Associated Schools of NSW (CAS) and the Board of the Independent Sporting Association (ISA) wish to announce that there will be a new competition format for the 2025 Rugby season."

Other question mark is what happens to the 3rds and Bs down.
I assume they also play the alternate schools with the usual adjustments for depth.

 

[DaSchmooze]

yes you'd think so. From C grade onwards it's a bit of a lottery as to who you get. Probably a case of whoever is free that weekend. I know the league tables in ISA stretch down as far as the schools have teams to fill them - sometimes even if it's only two or three.

 

[OleMan]

That's my understanding.
You can image how hard it would be for the Head of Rugby at schools like Auggies and Oakhill to make sure their E & F grade teams get games. They'd be sending teams all over the city

 

[DaSchmooze]

Yes agreed. Although I suspect when it comes to these teams, all Sports Masters take their GPS/ISA/CAS goggles off and just try and find like for like competition.

Only Rugby I believe. Rugby has unique challenges at school level because of the safety implications that arise when physical mismatches occur.
