Wow, what a round! Egg on my face big time regarding the no blowouts call. All results are from the Inside the Huddle page so guessing they are correct. SLC 51- Iona 17 MCA 50 - Villa 15 SPC 36 - Padua 8 (close on the 30 MA, just the wrong team) SEC 14 - SPLC 7 Good to see Eddies back in...

Good to hear Reg, great initiative. Some schools could learn from this and follow suit. Uncontested scrums are a blight on the game and coaches should be doing all they can to put scrum ready props on the field.

haha, you're looking for bait MA. This comp is way too tight for those predictions. SEC at home to win their first in a few years by 5, so long as they can contain the sherman tank on the left wing. Easier said than done though. Padua by 30? you jest. SPC at home and coming off a good win, I...

Agreed. Combinations that had been worked on in the trials fell apart. He was well contained by Lauries. What was more confusing is why the coaches didn't admit their error and swap them at half time when it was clear it was not working.

It is a concern that they are going uncontested in scrums Reg. Can't see them getting invited in to any comp soon unless they sort that out. The coaches might might want to get into contact with this bloke...

I doubt it will count towards the aggregate. You'll probably see ATC games as 0-0 results on the AIC results website.

Interesting results from the Ballymore Cup on the weekend. SLC ended up the highest of the AIC teams, winning the 3rd place play off. Other results indicate perhaps Villa was the over achiever as they were in the seemingly tougher pool and the only team not beaten by winner SCGS, 3-3 draw...

read my mind Galloper, was trying to remember the name of the huge pom as a comparison.

Thought the prop against Romano would have been Darcy Hammond, MCA 1st XV last year, as he is at least 194cm but the lineups have them both at LHP. Kicking myself I got there too late to see the colts 1 game so could have clarified this, plus to have the pleasure of watching Floyd run around...

MCA beat Padua 26-5 in a trial match today. Pretty scrappy affair from both teams.

Thought that a bit harsh too TP. 2 years ago MCA were a missed last minute penalty goal against SLC away from an undefeated premiership in the 10A's. Didn't have a great year in year 9, but were the only team to beat Iona before being decimated by injuries. Were hardly easy beats though...

Nice one Janes, good to hear from St Pats. The front rower I believe is Jack Booker, pretty impressive specimen, has to be in contention for a QLD spot this year. Interesting that a couple of boys have lobbed up this year. Sounds like Pats will be a strong contender, look forward to seeing them...

This year is shaping up as the closest in years, with 4 schools in the running by my reckoning. Expecting big things from Iona. Have players returning, and always been strong in this age group. With a very strong Year 11 cohort who I believe (could be wrong) have never lost a game. This will...

Sorry, forgot Padua, who have are also strong in this age group and with Max Johnson and Leighton Whippy leading the pack will be very competitive.

Fair call. The shortened season makes it harder to compare teams. And last years team had all their hard games away from home in front of hostile crowds against probably better teams. Their defence and composure under pressure was brilliant and was what got them home in the end. Apart from the...

Well, yeah. I said no standout 7's in the way Braydon Law was in 2017, or Lachlan Howse in 2019, both walk up starts to an AIC team. But if you are going to put a name forward, you need to watch all the games before you do. Seems like common sense really.

Nice summary Ricky, looks like you put a lot of work into that! Have to disagree with this statement though; Marist: Ashgrove clinical as always and it was no different this year putting a score on every team they played. Although, this years team were no where near the calibre that last...

With all due respect and taking in the full disclosure, you can't watch 3 games and be tempted to include a player. The SLC is very good, but Jack Condon was the best 7 in the comp. He is just as much a pest at the breakdown, causing plenty of turnovers and forcing penalties, but far more...

Great idea on the finals series My Arsenal, would love to see it happen. The ending to the season has left a bad taste in the mouths of a lot of people and I really feel for all the boys wanting some sort of closure on the season. Soft decision by those making it. I will start a debate and...
