Will they be playing a full team against a weaker opponent in Stannies?Scots playing Stannies in 90% of teams. Some lower teams set to play High. Hopefully no more games washed out by the oncoming rain
I believe it will be a weaker Scots side, with many 1st XV players being rested for the fixture.Will they be playing a full team against a weaker opponent in Stannies?

MmmmmmAnything for SGS, SBHS or TAS?
Leo's presence is always felt in spirit; don't get it twisted. However, I did hear that he stubbed his toe on the way to look at himself in the bathroom mirror yesterday - which could put him out for an extra month. A shame to hear, footy will miss him.I don't think Leo played against Newington

Can’t recall ever referring to Joeys as *Heaven’s Pasture” or “cattle dogs”!!Mmmmmm
SGS- Angry Bees @ The Hive
SBHS. Marksmen @ The Wastelands
TAS. Highlanders @ Bannockburn

Love the bias here Joker, got to admit the the Hunters Hill main building looks like an Asylum; which is what people call it.A guide to assist you to understand the names I use. Developed over many seasons. It is banter and done in jest.

Better an asylum than an incomplete faux Scottish castle. Riverview have the same building but ran out of money before they could put a tower on it. Newington looks like a poor man’s Harry Potter fantasy and Shore spent all their money on a stadium that faces the wrong way and preserved an ancient score board that hasn’t known victory in 20 years. Does Kings have a main building? Perhaps over in the very back paddock, IDK, it’s certainly not memorable. I’ll take the asylum.Love the bias here Joker, got to admit the the Hunters Hill main building looks like an Asylum; which is what people call it.

Ok gentleman, let's keep it civil shall we?Better an asylum than an incomplete faux Scottish castle. Riverview have the same building but ran out of money before they could put a tower on it.

Yeah to be fair they built the Main building without waiting for permission to be granted which is pretty hilarious, and it turned out well. Sure Lindomer, I am I sure we could all do with more money for towers, but you have to admit its an impressive building. Fair is fair, keep the chat to rugby, I thought I would point out to Joeys OBs who want to carry on about View's 1st field, (which is planned to be reconstructed) , that their school/s are far from perfect.Riverview started a grand building to view the river and welcome those arriving by boat. Then, motor cars were invented and arrivees came down the road at the 'rear' of the main site. Running our of money didn't help, either. A shame the Jesuits didn't have the courage to complete the quadrangle, a la Sydney Uni's Main Quad, with or without a tower.
