Following the matches against Scots College, particularly the 1st XV game, we were confident of a successful day. In the 2nd XV game, the boys did not disappoint, giving 100% throughout the game although they came up against a very determined Cranbrook 2nd XV filled with boys playing thier last game for Cranbrook. The result was completely unreflective of the effort put in by the boys, but it did serve to remind everyone of the importance of making 1st time tackles. We managed to use the opportunity to try out some new combinations, as well as trying some players in new positions.
Again there were some players who stood out and showed us that they are ready for the challenges of the upcoming season. Here are a couple of clips from the game

The 1st XV game initially held out out high hopes, despite the loss suffered by the 2nd XV. However depsite some promising periods of play, the boys failed to get their approach right for any significant period of time. Consequently there aren't too many clips that I can use from the game, other than the one below. Suffice to say that the boys will need to play with a lot more conviction and consistency on Saturday if they are to present St Augustine's with any sort of challenge.
