Newington played incredibly well, took advantage of errors & penalties and cornered Scots in at times, leading to quick tries in succession. Scots looked very shocked and were playing very unconnected. They looked as if they weren't putting full effort in, which is something that I hope doesn't spill into the GPS season.

With Leo Jaques being rested (returning soon), new positions being tried out and the return of other players, I'm sure Scots are not to be written off yet. (let's hope so)

Also, I do think Newington are not as good as they have been made out to be, Scots just played terribly and I'm sure if they played like that against any other team it would be considerably higher.

Count me in for the tipping comp @Joker if that's how you do it around here.

When exactly are the likes of Jacques, Large and Brial back for Scots?

Jaques is back, was just rested against Newington. Large has made a very speedy recovery and can be looking at a return as early as Round 3, Brial is back and Aidan Gow is still in a moon boot, I'm unsure about his return.

@propsarespeedy needs to get the boot. Blasphemous comments after blasphemous comments. Like the message if you would agree to give the man what he deserves. #justiceforgreenandgold #upjoeys #joeysfortheprem......and lets be honest.... props are in fact NOT speedy.

Sorry mate, but this is just absolutely wrong. Newington played an almost perfect game from start to finish, they put Scots under pressure the whole game and if you actually watched the game you would have seen how good the Newington side is this year.
Another note, Toby Brial played the whole game, he was not being rested.

Well this is fascinating. I said a month or so back that this will be a very tightly contested competition. I don’t think there is a front runner. It sounds like any team that has an off day could be knocked off. Were Scots foxing? Would they do that?

I believe Scots put forward the best team they could field at that time. Leo the 15 was out with an injury however the stars like Fitler, and Brial all played. Newington seems to have just been better on the day. Interesting to see if they can uphold this moving forward

No foxing. Beaten by a better team on the day. Newington 10 was very, very good. TSC 10 had a really bad day. The 10 in the 2's looked good, has a big boot on him. Another trial this weekend for all teams. TSC apparently resting key players.

Was Rodwell 10. Who has access to team lists from either schools, would be good to see who actually played what.

No 3XV for Newington in that comp ?
Click to expand...
Hello Here for the Advice.
It has historically been the case for many years that Newington do not compete in the 3rd XV competition, largely due to the inclusion of TAS and agreement with those schools. Often when a school plays Newington in the competition, the 3rd XV plays TAS and the school B teams typically play the TAS A teams. But not always. The draw has been complicated by two rounds in the 1st XV and 2nd XV versus just one round in the 3rd XV competition. To have 9 teams in the 3rd XV comp would create complications with the draw, byes, length of season etc. I think its a shame that Newington do not play in the 3rd XV comp but that's been the situation for some time.
Regards INP.
