The attendance at this game was something that the rugby administration has to take note of as the game is more than alive. It also shows that when some names in schools take the field there will always be numbers.
but go for the rolling maul was the winning point of losing. The most potent weapon during the season was the rolling maul. You could have not thought that Nilfer Ibrahim would not practicing countering. This he did and did well and that was the point to note.

The resignation of the Warden of S. Thomas’ College from the post of Vice President of Sri Lanka Schools Rugby Football Association is no surprise to me as he shows character and that is what you need in running a school. There is no holding of ceremonial posts; hang onto a job only if you are doing what is right. The contents of the note and the duplicity in shifting the responsibility to a sponsor is clear. It is time to reflect and form a base for discussion for the future of the game. Warden Marc Billimoria may have resigned; but you could still keep talking to him, as he seems to be talking something this country sadly lacks. The character and principle. The school season in terms of a tournament is over. The battle however has just begun, as there is a need to get onto the drawing board and start planning for next year. It is important to address the loopholes in the tournament rulebook before the next season begins. If the need is for expert opinion and you have to pay professionals do so and put a paper that you can stand on.
The jokes of the week was when I read "if the Warden has resigned let us get our principal in". The other was the big post- match complaint. The referee missed crooked throws. Why stop the game when the lie out was not contested. * Vimal Perera is a former play
