Scots Refuse to Play Cranbrook

[rugbyisfun]

Word on the street is Scots has refused to play Cranbrook this year breaking over 60 years of annual rivalry in the battle for Bellevue Hill. Apparently the last few years the game has also been a fundraising event for a well know charity. Instead Scots chose to play Norths Colts over the weekend.

Some discussion on this topic already on the CAS thread:

Scots broke a 40 year tradition by pulling out of the fixture due to the fact that their Australian schoolboy players will have representative duties, very disappointing to hear.

60 years of tradition?
Charity day?
Whoever made the decision to play Norths Colts instead is not thinking about the true nature of schoolboy rugby.

According to this title the original poster is suggesting that the new nickname for the Scots college 1st XV is Refuse.

Calling this team garbage is a little uncharitable.

Is the OP suggesting that a combination of the 5ths and 6ths XV will be playing Cranbrook?

I am confused.

Not sure about the 60 years of tradition bit - Scots dropped Cranbrook as an annual fixture in 1974 and didn't pick up again for some years.

Here's another trial game with poor form lines.
Yesterday Norths 1st Colts defeated Syd Uni so I can only imagine who played in that trial game for Norths with Scots.
