Yes I have heard that Cranbrook have scots, however it is a scrimmage opposed training with maybe half a game on top of that. Good learning for both sides

"versing" is not a verb.

Well what you’re using is slang and very common with kids these days. It is thought to have been picked up through video game terminology, but also through the ambiguous sound of the word “versus”.

What you are doing with this and “versing” is thinking that the original “versus” is a verb, when it’s in fact a preposition.

A preposition is a word that shows a noun or pronoun’s relationship with another word in a sentence. The common ones are things like: on, in, above, through, below and before.

In future use "play" or "playing" both are verbs. Eg. Cranbrook are playing Trinity this weekend.

Nice to put my teachers hat back on.

They've got a fixture this weekend against the Scots 3rds, if that tells you anything. Cranbrook 1s scimmaging against scots, should be pretty uninterupted but nothing official.

Correct. But language and grammar does change over time..
Indeed "versing" was mentioned as a verb almost 40yrs ago in the NY Times as high school slang - https://www.nytimes.com/1984/02/20/nyregion/latest-word-new-yorkese-of-84-is-here.html

The US also has the inverse concept of "atting"

Knox v Barker denotes a Knox home game, but
Cranbrook @ Scots means an away game for Cranbrook.

Hi all, I was thinking before the next round of trials start this weekend I know its early to start predicting the CAS 1st XV teams for this year based off the current crop of players around. But it is always interesting to see how the teams change to the actual team picked by the selectors.

Would like to see everyone's thoughts on predicted teams.

the act of composing poetry”. For example: “What art thou up to, Shakespeare?” “Oh, not much, just a little versing.”

In any other context it’s an abomination.
