CAS U16s 2016

[CatchnPass]

Very sorry to see Tejcek has also pulled out of the CAS 16s team due to injury. He's a quality player and I wish him a speedy recovery. Best of luck to Ws Thorne coming in as Tejcek's replacement.

CAS over ISA 14-7 to make main final v Pres A tmrw. A very tight match with deadlock broken through a superb breakout by CAS#23. A great team performance with forwards and backs all standing up against bigger opposition in both games today. Well done boys and best of luck tmrw.

Did they win the first game?

Any standout players pushing for NSW?

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Love the U16 rep games. Many are tighter than a ducks backside with one meat pie, lucky or otherwise, being the difference between hero and zero.

Yes won the first 22-5 (I think) against a very large CCC team through tight structured forward play, enthusiasm at the breakdown and some expansive and slick backline movement. The whole team played well and I don't want to jinx anyone before the final tomorrow by nominating possible nsw selections.

Definately the number 4 Moretti is a standout in the forwards and the number 14 in the backs . However as the man says all players punching above their weight

Was the try number 23 or 10? It was a sensational try no matter who!

 

[CatchnPass]

Scored by 10, but he was the lucky recipient of the breakout and magically timed inside kick from 23 (Kitchener). Full marks for being there to support. In fact that was probably the key factor in CAS' success - they played as a team all day and there was never a sense that any individual was determined to show the selectors how good they were. As a result, they got the biscuits in both matches and, against ISA, shut down completely some very fancied opposition players. Big challenge v Pres A tmrw but these boys will give it a red hot go I'm sure.

The match starts at 2:30

And for those interested, here is the results from yesterdays games.

Gee the number 10 is playing well for CAS as well. Agree that 14, 10 and 4 are playing extremely well in a team that is all doing 11 out of 10

The backs were given great opportunities because he forwards really ramped it up. The number 2, 4, 6 and 8 were extremely impressive !

In the backs 14, 10 and 15 played well

Has anyone got a team list of names from yesterday and today?

Agree although Tom C had a strong first game in particular .

 

[james777]

What was really impressive with CAS was their ability to outplay much bigger opposition in CCC, and then again they used team and back your man against bigger and more mobile ISA opposition

 

[james777]

Let's keep our fingers crossed for the lads to put up the same sort of ticker against a very hot gps side

 

[Runawayprop]

One would hope that if the boys are competitive against gps or indeed win (can we dare to dream) that higher rep honours for more than one or two of our boys is possible! If not then CAS would have a right to have a whine

 

[Runawayprop]

I see that Byron is in the shadow squad for opens Nsw . It seems a little disappointing perhaps that he may have been a shoe in for 16s and yet may miss out totally

 

[CatchnPass]

CAS 16s went down to Pres A 14-23 in a gutsy performance which showed that the gap b/w the associations at this age is a narrow one. If a few things had gone right, CAS may well have come away with the win. Strangely, the coaches decided to completely change yesterday's dominant line out and pulled the best jumper, Moretti to stand in the centres at line out time. CAS then barely took a line out all day gifting the GPS boys with ample possession. They also turned over ball at the breakdown which GPS pressured well.

CAS tackled themselves to a stand still and put good pressure on GPS in defence. They also scored a couple of tries, one through slick backline work down the right side with Cameron and Bryden combining on a 40m breakout and Ilias Towns finishing with good support, and the second to an Ilias intercept which had to be taken as GPS had a 3 man overlap.

All in all, a fine team effort that the boys can be very proud of, but the weight of possession was too great and GPS deserved the V.

I thought that no. 12 Towns scored the try from support?
