Great post Sarge, very interesting.
I have seen View play Kings and Newington this year. They play a forward dominated game and are particularly good at the set piece. Their best asset is their loose forwards. Wells, Dempsey, Rorke (2nd row), Kullen (the row) etc are very strong ball runners and defenders. If anyone can implement the strategy you talk of above, it is probably them. Their outside backs are their major weakness, all solid defenders but offering little in attack. Apart from Vaux, and the guys that looks like Quade Cooper, they aren't much of a threat. In fact, in those two games, I believe all of their tries were scored by their piggies...
View have already pumped Scots this year in a trial. I would expect them to be favourites...

Don't forget Scots also flogged Newington at Stanmore which I suspect gave them some self belief they had been lacking until that point.

That and 1/3 of the team was injured or sick...

Do you think kellaway being added to the side has made much of a difference?

Defence is the most notable difference. Scots wide backs were leaking tries against riverview

Scots played Cranbrook today and won 40-7 convincing, but not the best performance of rugby

Scots did rest their 3 of their Aussie Schoolboy star players so it was a weakened Scots team and Cranbrook are gutsy but small.

trinity 14 newington 12 just after half time. trinity had 2 sin binned in the 1st half - half for repeated (2 in 30 secs !) off side at the scrum; other for dangerous ? high ? tackle... bit harsh; tackled player fell into it i thought. trinity charged down a conversion !!! and scored a penalty try to take the lead....

WHo were the standouts for Scots?
Heard a rumour that their LH prop is out injured for a while. Not sure of his name - Felix i think? Tigersfan - you know anything about that? Their scrum will be really important against View as the front row/scrum is one of their strengths.

Scots looked really flat today. Obviously the score board shows differently. but the 15 that was playing today would certainly be vulnerable in this back half of the season to an aggressive team who is willing to make their first up tackles. standouts were kellaway dangerous with ball in hand and scoring a few and tall fullback Gallagher who was an ever present threat with a sound kicking game. On that, goalkicking is proving to be a serious issue for this team and could prove a pivotal flaw unless developed with the 3 tried kickers only achieving 2 from 8. Inluding kicks from very close. Dont let me suggest they arn't a brilliant TSC XV but if they want to be gps champions you have to be better then what i saw today.

I also heard Shore convincingly beat Waverly today, as that Waverly team beat Knox I am really interested in this result, can anyone comment. I also heard Shore 8 was knocked out in a brawl, can anyone confirm and comment on this?
