  1. Why aren’t these fixtures visible in adavance on the SRU website? Most years the cup fixtures are visible but not this year! This story is 3 days in adavance from a hard working media source doing the SRU’s job for them. Last year it was all post Xmads and made the season more meaningful for schools. Now a team can be out by early Nov and……seaon just fritters away.

    • P.S. They’re now up on the website – but they most def weren’t 2 days ago. I generally find the SRU website a bit haphazard.
