Apparently the Grammar 1st XV opted for uncontested scrums as they have no props! This is ridiculous at any level, let alone a 1st XV team. There has to be some enforcement or new rules where teams cannot just avoid an area of weakness.

 

[wisemaan]

Agreed. Both the 1st and 2nd XV opted for uncontested. How is this allowed?

What was the last game you watched at scots main oval @Joker ?

 

[bomber06]

I dont think Scheck is gone for the season. There was chat on the sideline that both starting props might be available for Kings this week, but not entirely sure. Makasini should be abck Thursday unless it clashes with league game lol

 

[bomber06]

He seems to be the only ref in world rugby who is yellow carding people. And there is no such thing in the laws of rugby as hip drop tackle so why is he using that terminology. Maybe he is a league ref moonlighting as a rugby ref.

Makles sense. He clearly had zero idea about the scrums on Saturday. Shore THP was angling in every scrum and he was pinging Newington.

Kings boys in for a treat when they have to leave behind the putting-green of a surface that is the J.S White Oval, for the Johnson Oval which is under the duress of a 5-day turn around. Field is in a something of a state right now which screams nothing but home ground advantage for the black and white.

Newington groundies gonna be working overtime on this one. Photo evidence to come if sources pull through

Faithfully,

Keyword 'rumour' that's fantastic if Sheck will be back this Thursday. He is needed for the Aussie 18's!

 

[The Cleaner]

Do they call 'angling at scrum' at school level though?

 

[twister29]

Referee did at least twice on Saturday.

 

[Jockey181]

Grammar were kept in the game due to the contestant scrums I believe, Shore had been so dominant in this part absolutely dominating joeys the week before.

 

[bomber06]

The ref called Newington 4 times for doing it on Saturday. Like i said, that ref has form though.

 

[Jakeburner65]

I think that Kings will be soundly beaten. I reckon the only teams with a chance of knocking off the Newington Globe Trotters this year are still Joeys and potentially Riverview.

3rd XV Competition Ladder

 

[PickandDriveThru80]

surprisingly a very common scrum penalty in the 1st XV comp. Would like to say probably the most common.

 

[The Cleaner]

Thank you.

I watch the Joeys v Kings game from the weekend and I was shocked to see how little the Joeys boys got over the A line. The 10 was so deep he was 10m back from every ruck. The forwards had to work hard. And I feel that this didn't help them at all. The Kings boys were able to attack the ruck while Joeys had to get back and go through the gate again.

Someone needs to tell the coaches to flatten things up otherwise its going to be a long and tough season. It's really poor coaching.

The weather is looking good at the moment!! Will make for a good game of skilful rugby - lots of games already rain affected this year.

Scrum out, Cher.
