I didnt see many subs come on for joeys.... Auggies just the better team
A much better team and a well deserved win for Augs. Only 2 Joeys reserves towards the end.

Auggies are a good side. Were they full strength? Always a good side when you have the NSW 9,10
ISA shaping up to be a cracker comp. Auggies, Oakhill, Pats, Pius all have some good wins through the trials.

Joeys have a noticeabley weaker year 12 group, year 11 and 10s are outstanding though from my memory.

Yes, Auggies were full strength. 10 controlled the game beautifully. Without him Auggies would be far less threatening.

I’m not sure the first part of this statement is correct….. 10 out of 15 players today are year 12.

Yes they managed, what’s your point?

I didn’t say that, what I said was not as threatening…… he was best on ground by a very substantial margin.

Sorry I missed you today, Joker. A tough day for Joeys on #1.
St Augustines 1st XV thoroughly deserved their victory 31-26. They played expansive rugby and made fewer mistakes. I thought Joeys forwards played particularly well at the set piece and in open play.
Joeys 2nds got close to Oakhill 1sts 12-14 and played well. It was a good contest in the rain.
Joeys 3rds also got close to St Augustines 2nd 7-10. That match will prepare them well for the main competition.
Full 3rd XV trial report to come.

Did Joeys win any games against St Augustines today?

A strong history of Bassingthwaighte’s at the school going back a couple of generations at least. Most recently Rex’s brother Leo left a couple of years ago.
These are my power rankings for Trial 2. This is just my opinion so please feel free to disagree with me as this week was hard to assess due to some very juxtaposing results.
Definitely some movement in comparison to last week.
Shore: They stay on as contenders, only this time being in this category by themselves. This Shore team oozes class. Today's win against Knox was won through hard defence and capitalisation on the few opportunities that Knox gave them. I'm aware it's early but they are the only team showing consistency. Shore are the team to beat after this week.
Scots: A win is a win. Though I expected them to beat Stannies comfortably, it is certainly a better result than last week against Newington. One of the only teams that showed improvement this week. They are in the 2nd category very *tentatively*.
Joeys: This was certainly an interesting result. From what I hear St Augustines were very strong. Does anyone know when the last time Augs beat Joeys was? If ever? Certainly some slight regression in comparison to last week's win against Knox. I have them as outsiders after this week.
Newington: Another perplexing result. I expected Newington to wipe the floor with Kings. From my understanding, they did well to seal a draw right on the bell. They move to the "outsiders" category after this week.
Riverview: Very disappointing result for Riverview. After having a hard-fought win against Barker, they lost to Waverley, who lost to Kings last week. I feel as though View will struggle to find consistency this year. They move to the "slim chance" category.
Kings: I doubt most of us expected Kings to lead Newington as they did. I was wondering if they would be able to hold that lead and unfortunately, they weren't able to. I still have them in the "slim chance" category.
Again I am aware these matches were still trials so we have to take them with a grain of salt. Really looking forward to the start of the competition next week.
