DIALOG SCHOOLS RUGBY LEAGUE 2025 WEEK 5 TACTICAL ANALYSIS
-

THE second mammoth upset of the 2025 League transpired when the high-rising Thora outfit outplayed the Green Machine at home, breaking a 16 year wait to get the better of the Kings of Rugby. Up in the Hills, and inside a dark Den, the Tuskers were ravaged in cold blood by the Lions to roar to the top of their Group. With 3 undefeated schools in the League, we now have all the Ducks in a row, ready to compete for the Cup, Plate and Bowl Segments in two weeks.
Trinity hosting Royal - 5 July:
What was expected to be the second blockbuster game of the weekend that was kicked off up in the Hills, and on which everyone had their gaze set, turned out to be an uninteresting affair after Royal refused to turn up and play. They kept their rugby to the bare basics, their approach primitive, and resisted all temptations of exposing any of their advanced skills, just how a master Magician holds back his best tricks until his final act. However, in this case there were no tricks exhibited, as they uncharacteristically and hysterically kicked each and every penalty opportunity between the giant Sticks for petty points, underlining their desire not to expose what they could actually do with their Mauls or the Ball in hand. Ultimately the biggest losers were the schools rugby loving community of Sri Lanka, who missed out, and will miss out on an array of rampant performances by the Royal Tuskers, who are very much capable of winning the League and the Bradby, although the fraternity has been in denial.
