SHORE TEAMS vs Waverley @ Queens Park (5 April)

Liam Hamilton, brother of Ethan, is tighthead for 2s and Lachlan Warner, cousin of 1st Xv hooker James, is playing 11 for the 2s and Hamilford at 14, Maclennan is rehabbing a busted shoulder at the moment, all else looks accurate MT.

Waverley running around all sorts…

19-0 now

 

[footyhead10]

That shore backline needs to get up to full strength and get the likes of Callaghan, Francis, wendt and bassingwaite in there

 

[The Chairman]

Nothing short of domination in the first half for Waverley. Severely undermanned Shore battling to hold on. I dont think they entered the other 22 once. Mistakes and penalties aplenty, the pressure is getting to them. Not helping with Armati out with a shoulder problem early and Clout with a sin bin.

HT

Waverley 26-0 Shore

 

[The Chairman]

In again. Less than two minutes due to a charge down

33-0

 

[Crashy]

Jeez getting ugly. Hopefully Armati ok as we're short on front rowers this year. The Waverly forwards are giants.

 

[The Chairman]

Bremner goes over. Hes been impressive since coming on.

33-7

 

[The Chairman]

FT now

40-7…

@The Chairman what do u think the main issues with shore today were

 

[Crashy]

Only saw part but they looked outsized. Scrum was being belted as well.

 

[rugbyAU]

That looks like an under strength 1st XV side?

 

[The Chairman]

Structure was pretty average. Don't think everyone knew where they needed to be.

Lots of silly errors shot themselves in the foot - Things like charged down kicks (there were minimum 5), knock ons, kicks out on the full, poor positioning in backfield allowing 50/22s

and overall Waverley were just bigger, stronger and played with more speed in attack. Shore got stunned it seems.

Not to panic stations yet. Severely undermanned team.

3s impressed me though. Very classy players.

 

[Here for the advice]

Waverley 10 was first class vs a very new combination for Shore in the backs. Tight five might need a shuffle for Shore. All the youngsters stepping up for sure will be better for a game in 1’s vs a solid Waverley team. Changes to be made for next trial to see where all are at. Great to be back on the sidelines in the sun va last years rain and cold!!!

I've never seen so many kicks for touch not go out in any game of rugby. Seriously, each team has some significant work to do.

hi @The Chairman I'm sure if you watched you would have seen if the youngster Payton Tarau played...... heard he has some razzle dazzle, any word on him

 

[The Chairman]

What position was he

 

[Crashy]

The Waverley 16As had a pretty handy FB as well. ( and other backs to be fair).

 

[View-Den]

Pretty sure his position is 5-8 or fullback

 

[OleMan]

Payton is all class, and an U16 boy too.
