AT least 2 unbeaten teams will remain, and many unanswered questions would be answered, while the second team to enter the Cup Segment from Group 1 shall be determined at the 5th and final weekend of Round 1 of the Dialog Schools Rugby League 2025.

Week 5 to confirm schools under relevant crockeries

The two unbeaten teams from Group 2 shall lock Horns by the seaside in their quests for the League Title. Whoever falls short on this day will end up being on the waiting list for a chance at the Title, and since no one likes to play the waiting game, this shall be a final-like intense battle for supremacy.

Coincidentally, this would be the inaugural encounter for the Rizvi Suhayb Memorial Trophy between the two Schools, that opens a new chapter in the history of Schools rugby, that could change its face forever.

Hence, the collaboration of these two great rugby playing institutions, completely overshadow the outcome of this encounter.

Although the Green Machine has been downplaying their rugby since the knockouts, they are expected to bring back their top game in trying to tame a threatening Thora outfit, who almost beat them at the knockout Semis last season. The Greens have sharpened their Ball handling to professional standards, their Maul offensives are now ever so deadly, while their 'pick and drives' are capable of boring through Rocky Mountains, their touch finders are able to target the Moon's orbit, and the "Try scoring Machine" can now be also dubbed as the "Lineout Turnover Machine".
