The Awaited Varsity Match

Hannah reflects on match of all matches: Saints Rugby v Edinburgh University!

On Saturday afternoon, the Edinburgh University 1st Rugby XI came to St. Andrews to face the Saints in the eagerly awaited varsity encounter. It was an electrifying spectacle, steeped in tradition and rivalry between these two storied institutions. Edinburgh University RFC and the University of St. Andrews RFC hold esteemed positions as two of the world’s most ancient rugby clubs, second in seniority only to the Edinburgh Academical FC in Scotland. The rivalry between Edinburgh and St. Andrews dates back to the 1860s, though it has not been a regular fixture throughout its history.

The Scottish Universities Varsity Championship witnessed increased competitiveness in the 1990s, resulting in the frequent changing of hands for the cup. In 2003, Edinburgh clinched the championship for the first time in a decade and managed to retain it for the following three seasons, albeit through fierce contests with St. Andrews. After enduring two challenging seasons, Edinburgh reclaimed the championship title for the 2010-2011 season, earning promotion from the Scottish Conference to the BUCS Premier North B league.

As the captain of Edinburgh’s 1XV, Fin Stewart expressed his anticipation for his final varsity match. He acknowledged the challenge posed by the formidable St. Andrews side. ‘Going into my final varsity game for Edinburgh is an exciting prospect and it’s a great day for everyone involved,’ he said. He reflected on their recent tough matches and the team’s dedication to delivering a stellar performance. ‘We’ve had a tough set of results the last couple of years against a strong St. Andrews side, but we’ve worked hard throughout pre-season to ensure that we can give our best performance on the day.’ The Saints were aiming for their third consecutive varsity victory, generating immense excitement within their ranks after they emerged triumphant in the last encounter, winning 24-14 away at Edinburgh last year.

The Saints started on the front foot and quickly got on the scoreboard after 120 seconds after Ross Cadzow converted a penalty. Positivity for St. Andrews was quickly dampened when Second Row Oli Calevert-Evers, St. Andrews’ South African Rugby Scholar, was forced off the pitch after rolling his ankle in an unfortunate collision. With Calevert-Evers off the pitch, Edinburgh were growing in confidence and the team in green managed to get the first try on the board after Vice-Captain Hal Little scored with Luke Armstrong managing to successfully convert, leaving the Saints 3-7 down. Edinburgh further extended their lead with another quick try after Man of the Match Hugo Flinn scored a try, leaving the Saints behind by 9. St. Andrews had to be resilient in defence after a period of sustained pressure by Edinburgh with Adam Ivins making a vital try-saving tackle down the wing after an explosive run by Daniel Odejinmi. Edinburgh converted a penalty thanks to another Armstrong kick, so the score was 3-15 heading into the break with the Saints having much work to do. Captain John Paterson was disappointed to get a yellow card, having to leave the field for ten minutes of play, and Edinburgh managed to exploit the 14 men with a converted try and scored, making the score 3-22. Hugo Flinn scored another fantastic try which left the Saints 3-29 down. The game however was not over, and the Saints made what was simply an incredible comeback. Hal Little was sin-binned after collapsing a maul and Ben Murrin capitalised with a try, which Cadzow converted. The score was 29-10 and straight from the restart, St. Andrews had the momentum, with the home crowd firmly on their side. Adam Ivins dodged past the Edinburgh line, resulting in Matthew Gingel scoring a try out on the wing. An impressive conversion by Saints Vice Captain Ross Cadzow left the scoreboard 29-17, with only 12 points between the two sides. Paterson showed his leadership by scoring another try, closing the gap to Edinburgh again in the closing ten minutes of the game. Cadzow again converted a simple kick leaving the score 32-24, within one try off stealing the victory from Edinburgh. It was a tantalising end to a brilliant match with the final score 32-29 to Edinburgh.

Speaking to The Saint after the game, Dave Morris, Head of St. Andrew’s Men’s Performance Rugby, reflected that he thought it was ‘a really good advert for Scottish student rugby and the way that we came back into the game was so impressive.’ The turnaround in the second half was so admirable and the team did the University proud.

Up the Saints!

  182. Understanding COSC Certification and Its Importance in Watchmaking
    COSC Certification and its Demanding Criteria
    COSC, or the Controle Officiel Suisse des Chronometres, is the authorized Swiss testing agency that certifies the accuracy and precision of timepieces. COSC accreditation is a mark of excellent craftsmanship and reliability in timekeeping. Not all timepiece brands seek COSC validation, such as Hublot, which instead adheres to its proprietary stringent criteria with mechanisms like the UNICO, reaching comparable precision.

    The Art of Precision Timekeeping
    The central system of a mechanized timepiece involves the spring, which delivers power as it loosens. This system, however, can be vulnerable to external elements that may impact its precision. COSC-certified mechanisms undergo strict testing—over 15 days in various circumstances (5 positions, 3 temperatures)—to ensure their resilience and reliability. The tests evaluate:

    Average daily rate accuracy between -4 and +6 secs.
    Mean variation, peak variation levels, and effects of thermal changes.
    Why COSC Certification Is Important
    For watch fans and collectors, a COSC-accredited watch isn’t just a piece of tech but a demonstration to enduring excellence and accuracy. It represents a timepiece that:

    Presents exceptional reliability and accuracy.
    Provides confidence of quality across the complete design of the watch.
    Is likely to retain its worth more effectively, making it a sound investment.
    Well-known Timepiece Manufacturers
    Several renowned manufacturers prioritize COSC accreditation for their timepieces, including Rolex, Omega, Breitling, and Longines, among others. Longines, for instance, presents collections like the Archive and Soul, which feature COSC-certified movements equipped with innovative substances like silicone equilibrium springs to boost durability and performance.

    Historical Context and the Evolution of Timepieces
    The idea of the timepiece dates back to the requirement for exact chronometry for navigation at sea, emphasized by John Harrison’s work in the eighteenth cent. Since the official foundation of COSC in 1973, the certification has become a benchmark for assessing the accuracy of high-end watches, maintaining a legacy of superiority in horology.

    Conclusion
    Owning a COSC-accredited watch is more than an aesthetic selection; it’s a dedication to quality and precision. For those valuing accuracy above all, the COSC certification offers tranquility of thoughts, guaranteeing that each accredited timepiece will operate reliably under various circumstances. Whether for individual satisfaction or as an investment decision, COSC-certified timepieces stand out in the world of watchmaking, maintaining on a tradition of precise timekeeping.

  226. 레버리지스탁
    로드스탁과의 레버리지 스탁: 투자법의 신규 분야

    로드스탁을 통해 공급하는 레버리지 방식의 스탁은 주식 투자의 한 방식으로, 큰 이익율을 목적으로 하는 투자자들을 위해 매력적인 선택입니다. 레버리지 사용을 사용하는 이 전략은 투자하는 사람들이 자신의 자금을 초과하는 금액을 투입할 수 있도록 함으로써, 증권 장에서 더 큰 작용을 가질 수 있는 방법을 공급합니다.

    레버리지 스탁의 원리
    레버리지 스탁은 기본적으로 자금을 대여하여 운용하는 방식입니다. 예를 들어, 100만 원의 투자금으로 1,000만 원 상당의 증권을 구매할 수 있는데, 이는 투자자가 일반적인 투자 금액보다 훨씬 훨씬 더 많은 증권을 취득하여, 주식 가격이 상승할 경우 관련된 훨씬 더 큰 수익을 얻을 수 있게 됩니다. 하지만, 주식 가격이 떨어질 경우에는 그 피해 또한 커질 수 있으므로, 레버리지 사용을 이용할 때는 조심해야 합니다.

    투자 전략과 레버리지
    레버리지는 특히 성장 가능성이 상당한 회사에 투자할 때 유용합니다. 이러한 사업체에 상당한 비율을 통해 적용하면, 잘 될 경우 막대한 수입을 획득할 수 있지만, 그 반대의 경우 상당한 위험성도 감수하게 됩니다. 그러므로, 투자하는 사람은 자신의 리스크 관리 능력과 상장 분석을 통해, 일정한 회사에 얼마만큼의 자본을 투자할지 결정해야 합니다.

    레버리지 사용의 장점과 위험성
    레버리지 방식의 스탁은 상당한 수익을 보장하지만, 그만큼 상당한 위험도 따릅니다. 주식 시장의 변화는 추정이 곤란하기 때문에, 레버리지 사용을 사용할 때는 언제나 장터 추세를 세심하게 주시하고, 피해를 최소화하기 위해 수 있는 계획을 마련해야 합니다.

    맺음말: 조심스러운 결정이 필수입니다
    로드스탁에서 공급하는 레버리지 방식의 스탁은 막강한 투자 도구이며, 잘 이용하면 큰 수익을 벌어들일 수 있습니다. 그러나 높은 리스크도 신경 써야 하며, 투자 결정은 충분히 많은 데이터와 세심한 고려 후에 진행되어야 합니다. 투자자 자신의 금융 상황, 리스크 감수 능력, 그리고 시장 상황을 반영한 안정된 투자 방법이 중요합니다.
