I believe James3456 is onto something here. The way Kinross composed themselves on Saturday, and their high level of skill displayed gives me great reason to tell all involved that Kinross are true contenders to topple the St. Augustines machine.
Harry Sheer (Kinross No. 10) was particularly instrumental in the resounding victory for Kinross against St. Gregorys. His presence on the field seemed to loom over his opposition, and his sharp movements and confident calling sealed the deal to ensure he was a domineering x factor.
Number 8 Patrick Tobberty was a valiant leader, who had a strut in his stride, with a chip on his shoulder, and a point to prove after unluckily not making the ISA 1st XV side.
Bob Burke (4) continued his consistent form, and showed the true spirit of the Kinross man.
Randy Lawler (3) was a great beast on the day. His excellent scrumming proved far too good for the lack-luster Gregs tight-head, and he exemplified why he will completely outplay and "bitch" his opposing number this Saturday, in all aspects of the game. The exemplified "dog" on display was almost tear-provoking.
But here here, now now everyone.
For they called him Jesus.
And he was the messiah.
Oscar Cleary's bullish runs and thundering hits gave us beautiful insight into the great presence he holds on the field. But it was his showcase of determination and leadership that showed us the great generational talent that we have on our hands here. His opposing number, I have no doubts, is shaking in his Northern Beaches boots. Everything to Cleary's game is impeccable, and spotless: his brutish runs, his ball-playing out the back, and the hit, the hit that sent shockwaves throughout the St Gregorys school. After Gregs flimsily tried to get in his head with several punches thrown, he responded with a shot that shook the ground and mountains around the surrounding St. Gregorys land. His great number 7 shirt sent shivers down the spines of all St. Gregorys players on that day, that magnificent day, the day that proved that we must remember the name Oscar Cleary.
Augustines will be sleeping. Laughing at this Kinross side, the trophy they think already theirs. But it will be this Kinross side that turns this competition on its head, and provides us with one of the greatest, if not the greatest, moment in ISA rugby history. You heard it here first.
From the ISA talent watcher,
Godspeed gentlemen
