Barker, Waverley and Trinity all claimed victories on the opening weekend of the 2021 CAS Rugby competition but there were a number of talking points to come out of the first round.

At Hornsby, Barker scored eight tries including a double to winger Johnathon Reid in a 54-42 victory, but were pushed all the way by an impressive Cranbrook outfit, who reduced the deficit to just two scores midway through the second half.
