1ST XV RUGBY We began the season with three straight losses to the University of Victoria Jutes, Nanaimo R.F.C. (under 19) and St. George ' s, juggling our team around in trying to come up with the best com- bination. The loss, 18-25, to St. George ' s was an excellent game and, despite a certain looseness in defence, gave us confidence for the matches to come. Our next three matches against Brentwood, Magee H.S. and St. Michael ' s resulted in three narrow wins and showed that our defensive play had improved greatly over earlier games. We then lost a hard fought match to Prince of Wales, beat St. George ' s 8-0 at home and lost a heartbreaker to Brentwood. However they had lost a heartbreaker to us earlier so a win each was probably a fair result in our two fixtures. Paul Le Blanc at prop, was an excellent captain both on and off the field and had the respect of both the players and the coaches. He is a fine forward and gave a good lesson in propping to each The most even and interesting Independent Schools ' rugby competition in many years was brought to a sudden end in mid-November by the weather. A heavy snowfall, which blanketed the Lower Mainland, including balmy Victoria, was accompanied by a continuing cold spell and meant that there was no opportunity to fit in the cancelled games later on in the term - a great pity as the competition was curtailed with all four schools still in the hunt. We had won three of our five matches with only our return fixture against St. Michael ' s University School to come. St. Michael ' s and Brentwood had each won two and lost two with two games yet to be played while St. George ' s, with one game remaining, were at 2 wins and 3 losses. We were thus in the driver ' s seat and definitely fancied our chances of winning our final match against St. Michael ' s Respite having only scraped home by a single point earlier in the season.

one of his opponents. The rest of the pack was a workmanlike lot and was fit and mobile. It would be difficult to single out any one player from it as they all had their moments. The backs as a unit were probably as good a group as we have had in recent years. Roger Schmitt, last year ' s scrum-half, moved to fly-half and adjusted well to this most difficult of positions. The move was needed because we had to make room for Sebastian Wade at scrum-half and we felt the half-back combination would work best with this pairing. We were right and they formed a very effective partnership and were responsible for the smooth working of the backs as a group. Thus the team as a whole, although smallish and relatively young, really came on well and was better than its record suggests. If the majority of them can go on the upcoming tour to Australia and New Zealand in July, they should be able to give a very good account of themselves. 27
