A fitter, faster Cranbrook squad with a history of winning head into the 2023 CAS first XV season with plenty of confidence on the back of some impressive trial form.

While coach Dean Michniewicz thinks his sides best rugby is still ahead of them, he's confident they can find it and be right in the mix this season.

Overview with Dean Michniewicz:

“We’re pretty excited about how things are looking at the moment and we’ve got one more trial to play on Friday night. We play an annual game under lights down at Woollahra Oval and I know all the boys always look forward to that match,” Cranbrook first XV coach Dean Michniewicz told Rugby News. 

“We’ve had a few minor injury concerns over the last few weeks and we rested a few boys last week, but by the time round one comes around, I think we’ll be back to close to full strength.
