Interesting take that I have been considering over the past couple of weeks. First noticed it out under the lights against Shore. I put it to bed when all 3 injuries that game were committee members. Maybe time to resurface the theory. The question is, correlation or causation?
It would be great for schoolboy rugby if so. Oaks and Auggies rugby programs seem to be flourishing and growing, not only are their opens programs successful, a multitude of their juniors have knocked off some CAS/GPS heavyweights. Would be great for competition and the overall development of boys in schools playing rugby as a whole. If they take depth first when structuring the tiers, I don't know how they would structure it, as after Waves, Oaks and Augs (maybe Stannies too) there is a big drop off on teams numbers. Interesting to see how that will work itself out. Like the idea though.Funnybut true! Let's move on and focus hopefully on a stronger comp next year.
I was very reliably told yesterday that next year, a new looking CAS/ISA comp would be established, ie a tier 1 and tier 2 comp!
Finger crossed!

Wow, what a performance from St Augustine's! It's fantastic to see such a strong showing across the Opens teams. Congrats to all the players who made the team of the week. Seems like there were some standout moments and players, like Abe Whitfield with those crucial tries and Austin Hulley's exceptional passing skills. And a big shoutout to Jacob Crotty for seizing his opportunity and making an impact with his tackling. Keep up the great work, St Augs!
Would also be interested if anyone has any idea.
Do you know how there A’s teams have gone thru 13s to 16s or if any in particular are strong
Personally I think Walsh is just too good at game managing, kicking and i think he is just better at 10 than 12,
Against Waverley I know
From what I've heard in conversation St Greg's has a lot of injuries, lot of leagies and an unreliable squad. I'm sure that when we see some consistency around the starting team we'll see it reflect on the field. With CCC league upcoming, many of greg's best players will be out, particularly their 12 and 6
Nothing beats the flooding at rat park back in 2013
Vs Joeys the As beat the 13As, 14As, 15Bs and 16Bs.
Will be a heavily Oakhill/Augustines team this year. I think Muriti gets the nod for hooker while the Number 8 battle could be tense.
The IGGSA model is that individual schools self-nominate for each team into a particular division, but subject to regrading if not appropriate.
