Second XV
Second XV.
The Seconds are steadily improving, and followed up their win over Oriental by beating Johnsonville convincingly, 14—4. Stacey marked his return to the Club with a fine game. He worked his forwards well, and the whole pack played up to his leadership. K. Smith, Taylor, and the much-improved Grayburn were on the ball all day and gave their backs plenty of opportunities. A. Mason was good at half, although he ran far too much, but his blindside move, when he sent Coutts over, was a gem. Coutts is the most improved player in the Club. He has tightened up his defence, and uses his head well now. Two of his centre kicks were excellent efforts, and deserved tries. With his pace, determination, and clever sidestep, he should play himself into the Seniors next year.
