Great display of running rugby by both Sydney University and Eastwood. The first half tactics of Eastwood really caught Sydney Uni and it took them to a huge halftime lead. Two tries off grubber kicks and the try on half time shot them out into a comfortable half time lead.
The injury to James Willan really hurt University today with their set piece very ordinary normally a strength for them. Eastwood very good defensively and took opportunities when they were presented.

Foreshaw? Is that name derived from "Foreskin"?
Great effort for the Two Blues to win away at FORSHAW.

Well that was ugly today, but max point taken on paper.
2nds won easily but Penrith had scored 98 points for the season to date. They scored approximatey a 1/3rd of the same amount today. Tyrone had a great game.
1st some new combinations. Swany and Mitch Lewis had very strong games and really lead the way.
I was in line with Ed's tackle, it was on the other side of the field - given the riff lifting tackle late in the game got yellow, maybe red was sufficient penalty.
Penrith's 15 was a stand out in their side.
Would loved to have talked about cohesion and building the phases, will have to leave that for another week.
Max CC points on paper so get the

Loving the CC table - Woodies will be a big test for Marlins next week with or without Ed . Agree with Crashy crowds do seem good this season - particularly at the crappy ground aka the (Manly) Village Green . Hopefully the Woodies faithful will turn up in Godzone next week too

The big bloke played today and scored 3 tries in Parra's "win by a bees reproductive organ" 30-29. Well tipped HJ.
I don't think we could say he has dodgy hands after today - but we can say he was improved on his first match v Eastwood two weeks ago. He is a genuine threat with the ball and while he still has a few things to learn in defence, he will terrorise a few backlines from here on in (assuming we get to keep him for a while, possibly a big assumption).

What a cracking game at Chatswood Oval. Here's my take:
The Warringah Rats continued their form of winning tight matches in a cracking game of rugby at Chatswood Oval, when they beat an impressive Gordon team 31-21.
Ahead 15-14 at half time they lost the lead in the second half, came back to tie the game at 21-all and finished the stronger over the Highlanders.
First half
Gordon opened the scoring when 11. Brandon Quinn regathered a kick through to score a try, which 9. Terry Preston converted for a 7-0 lead at nine minutes.
10. Hamish Angus slotted a penalty goal soon after for the Rats and 14. Harry Jones got more points for them after 12. Chris Arnold chased a ball and dished neatly to him. The Rats took the lead 8-7 when Angus converted.
The Highlanders hit back after a lineout when the ball was swung wide. 10. Will Shirvington sucked in defenders, and 14. Xavier McCoy swept into a gap to dot down handy. Preston made the score 14-8 for Gordon.
The game was played at a cracking pace and each team took advantage of errors from the other team, which had the spectators getting sore necks looking first left and then right, then left again.
Gordon 6. Malelili Vukinamualevu got a yellow card for a high shot on Rats fullback Dave Feltscheer, but that didn't stop the raids from the Highlanders.
They looked likely to increase their lead a man short, but on one incursion Arnold kicked through a loose ball for the Rats, recovered it and got the try. Angus made the half-time score: Rats 15—Highlanders 14.
What a half of rugby !!
Second half
The noisy Rats fans were enthused when the home team started getting pinged by the referee, partly through scrum dominance by the visitors. Angus goaled a penalty to increase their lead to 18-14.
But in this ping-pong game of attacking rugby a long kick downfield by Preston and a stuffed-up Rats lineout gave 12. Tom Matthews his chance, and he went over. Preston made the score 21-18 to Gordon on the hour mark.
Then with the whole field to choose from, a low Gordon clearance found the hands of a Rat minding his own business. They got into good real estate and since it was their turn to score Angus slotted another penalty to tie the game 21-21.
After yet another penalty against Gordon, near half-way, the Rats drove a ball from the resulting lineout and when the pill was released the Highlanders were too narrow and 11. Harry Jones scored the killer try wide out. Angus slotted a difficult conversion and the Rats led 28-21.
The ground announcer said there was six minutes remaining as Gordon attacked again. They would not go down.
With that countered, and three minutes left, Warringah received a penalty in a handy position from which to attempt a bonus-point try.
But Rats' skipper Feltscheer respected Gordon too much and ordered the shot at goal as insurance. Angus finished the scoring at Warringah Rats 31 - Gordon Highlanders 21.
Sure, there were too many errors from both sides for the purists, but these often created the scoring opportunities for the other team.
Warts and all, this would have been one of the most entertaining games of an already exciting season.
Warringah — 31 Tries: (Harry Jones (2), Chris Arnold); Conversions: Hamish Angus (2); Penalty goals: Angus (4).
Gordon — 21 Tries: (Brandon Quinn, Xavier McCoy, Tom Matthews); Conversions: Terry Preston (3).

Lee - With your development eye - what did you think of young Brandon Quinn? He's still Colt age.
2nd grade had a great game too.
In the past 3 weeks Gordon has played 3 of the top 4 teams in 1st grade. After the outing against Eastwood earlier in the season the team is really coming together and have done well against Uni, Manly and Warringah.

He played well didn't he? He looked handy to me on my first sighting of him: very nippy and quick off the mark. Comfortable on the ball too.
He probably has all kinds of mistakes to make and learn from (like Harry Jones for the Rats) before we see the best of him but he looks like a good 'un.

They were right in that game to the very end.
Their set pieces,particularly their lineout,were much better than the Rats.
That gave them more than their share of the ball,and it helped with the territory sides if things as well.
They will beat some good teams this year.

Coogee Oval had about 3000 - great atmosphere. Was thinking the same - seems to be a great following this year.
