@SweetChilli Philli Your tips this week seem to be on the money as far as I'm concerned. It should be a great round of rugby in this glorious weather! @L.D. I agree with RnM, there is absolutely no place for "biffs" in schoolboy rugby. If a boy wants to start one I would think a spot in...

In that case, I have no issue. This something that definitely needs to be considered. Sent from my D6653 using Tapatalk

Hello!!! I would like to point out that there is more to schoolboy rugby in this city than just GPS and CAS. The ISA is a thing that those who follow GPS and CAS tend to forget quite often. The idea of a super-comp that just has CAS and GPS without ISA is preposterous and arrogant. The...

Stannies have implemented major measures for Saturday's game with no cars allowed into the ground. Bag checks by security guards to ensure no alcohol is brought in. Fencing around the ground to makr sure no one enters the field of play during or after the game. It's sad that it's come to this...

I think it is time to move on from Round 3 as we start looking ahead to Saturday's Round 4 fixtures. St Pats v Oakhill: While it may be easy to tip Oakhill in this one, you never know how Pats will turn up when playing on Breen Oval. They are a different team at home and will be glad to be...

I was talking in a more broad sense in the fact that Gregs aren't actually a Full ISA member and don't seem to take it very seriously rather than as a punishment for this weekend's behavior. Why would Gregs fans run onto the field if the match ended in a draw? Seems like there was some really...

RnM Do you believe that Greg's should be removed from the competiton and Pius reinstated as a full rugby member rather than having to split rounds with Gregs? I wasn't at the game on Saturday but from various sources Greg's weren't very well behaved. What actually occurred? Sent from my...

After seeing pats play Pius teams that aren't graded properly I don't think it's very reasonable. Why should other schools have to suffer so Pius can feel good about themselves? Sent from my D6653 using Tapatalk

@DinkyDieDingo Everyone here is pretty much in agreement that the current situation regarding the Pius/Greg's spilt is completely farcical and quite possibly dangerous. What sort of competition is it when teams aren't playing evenly graded fixtures? What would any player want to play rugby...

@Ontheball we understand the issues around the Greg's/Pius situation. But the way I see it, it is simply unfair for all the other schools. Why should the other schools in the competition have to play games against a team that isn't evenly graded? I believe this issue disproportionately...

I'm not going to comment on the fans but something should be said by the school. It was a fantastic game of rugby with the result a fair reflection of how the teams played. Sent from my D6653 using Tapatalk

Well said Tah123 I agree with everything you said. In dry conditions I'd put the margins wider but the wet usually leads to tighter contests. Sent from my D6653 using Tapatalk

I think you'll find most ISA Rugby followers would support this move as for many years it has been dominated by the Oakhill and Auggies powerhouses (something Stannies are looking to change this year). This would revolutionize schoolboy rugby in this state and could be exactly what rugby...

Fantastic idea that I've been pushing for a while but the GPS don't want to loose their prestige. We can always hope!! Sent from my D6653 using Tapatalk

It is looking like a lot of rain is on its way with a good chance it may cause some havoc with this week's fixtures. A great shame considering the matchups this week: Pats v Gregs/Pius - The Gregs team changes week to week but are always competitive. Pats are in a rut after last week's...

While of course there is no place for that in rugby, his hair colour is irrelevant. Sent from my D6653 using Tapatalk

Yep, a very tough day on the beaches for the boys from Strathfield with Auggies dominating in most matches. Pats did get up in the 14B's game after being down at half-time while there were some tighter contests in the lower 13's grades. I happened to stumble across the 13C's game and saw the...

And they couldn't beat Stannies. Doesn't add up.... Sent from my D6653 using Tapatalk

Gregs beat Oakhill 24-20. Seems like a great game, does anyone have a match report? This comp is wide open with both Auggies and Oakhill starting the season with a loss. That wouldn't have happened in a very long time; it makes the ISA much more interesting. As a Pats supporter, it's not going...

It was a stunning day of rugby with the Pats Kinross matches being very even across the board. The 1s contest was close the whole game with some very sloppy periods from both teams. Ball security from both teams needs to be improved. The final minutes were great viewing with Kinross leading...
