A bit of an underwhelming day today for the ISA Teams with no wins from 4 attempts, yet there were still some shining lights throughout the day.
The 1s game between GPS and ISA was a cracker, only separated by a conversion. I really liked the swift crossfield movement by the backs but also the Pick N Go movement from the forwards which really seemed to unsettle the GPS Team. Additionally, having Sam Blank at the base of every ruck is such a privilege, I love how he always looks in control and is able to control the tempo of the game.
In terms of the ISA2 team, I think their lineout set piece needs some work. In the game against CAS, it was turnover after turnover come lineout time, ultimately starving them of some good field position. I would like to highlight Brodie Hitchman (#15) and Ryan Scott (#7) who I thought both played well in a team that struggled today.
Also, I would like to congratulate my very favourite sacred player, Italian Stallion, who needs no introduction, getting on in the ISA1 game against CAS. Well done mate, RahRah was watching like a proud Father, while maybe shedding a tear or two.
We go again tomorrow Lovers of All Things ISA Rugby.
