well its the start of the psa rugby season and what better way to start off then to have the game of the round wesley v hale. alot of rivalry between these two schools with hale being the best rugby school for years, they now have a challenge. with the wesley 1sts last year nearly winning against all the odds its in the final game off the 06 season. however with the two TWF members pruc and shaun versing it other i thought the preview would be more suited for the most important game.......
YR 10 PREVIEW
Previous encounters -
Wesley - 1 win 1 draw 1 lose
Hale - 1 win 1 draw 1 lose
2005- Hale 26 defeated Wesley 5
2006 - Hale 15 drew with Wesley 15
- Hale 7 lost to Wesley 14
The Wesley v Hale games always a contest its no better way to start off the year. especially with the wesley coach being a regional selector and having about 6 players between the 2 sides trying out this is going to be a game with emotion
WESLEY
Well from last yr only losing 2 games and finishing outright 3rd but has lost half the backline to 1st's hockey. And gained some new inexperienced backs. from the 3 training seasons we have alot to make up on from last season.
however wesley has keep there outside centre julian kii - [who is the fastest boy in the psa over 100m. running an 11.something] and retaining all but one player in the back row.
all looks promising however as with most teams it will take awhile for the backs to gel together and for the phases to have cohesion.
never the less wesley prides its self for its ugly rugby and it scapy play when under pressure. the never say die attitude show by this team in previous years is a good thing. the boys when on the field display the schools motto:
['by daring and by doing
the wesley team do dare to take chances because without this the team would be choked of its flambouant plays.
my verdit wesley by 2.
now shaun can do his own preview if he wants. but i think he might by a tad scared already.
