Fraser Holding at 7? I thought he played 2 this year? I'v never heard of a hooker/flanker utility player.

Matt Bourke from Iona College also played 3 years, alongside Brad Wilkin.

Any news on teams or injuries coming through? This threads gone a bit dead. Suitable First XV Iona prediction: 1. Dan Sheppard (2nd XV 2014, 1st XV Bench 2014) 2. Oliver Plevey (16A's 2014) 3. Angelo Pepe (c) (1st XV 2014) 4. Ryley Morton (16A's 2014, Ext. 1st Xv Bench 2014) 5. Ryan Homes...

Not sure about this. But I have to say that I hope it stays with age groups and not year levels. I can imagine some of the GPS schools having 20 year old year 12's playing for them.

Does anyone know the height and weight of the Aus schools 7 and 8? I'm using Moroney and Fox as a reference for future backrowers but am unsure if they are big men or not.

What do you mean? The competition is already in age groups. U15, U16 etc...

Can't agree with you. Iona front and second row have pretty much been secured. Hooker could be Angus Barker though. Doubt it since Ollie Plevey and Callum Nicholson are much bigger and seemingly more talented. Back row is shaky, probably Brenton Smith at 6. Definitely Zayne Holleran at 8 if he...

Tristan Stanghorn is in year 10 this year and is deadly as hell so he would fit in great at BBC. Hope he stays at Iona though. Michael Dickie is a year older than his year level and was easily one of the top 3 outside centers this year. I believe he will wear the 12 jersey for AIC 1 next year...

Iona start on-field training over the school holidays. I can imagine most others schools will start soon as well.

I think it will be as even as it gets between Padua and SEC. Didn't watch many of Eddie's games this year but I'm pretty confident that a lot of their strength came from their fullback. As I understand it their number 10 is quite talented and will be sure to help carry the team next season...

Evidence?

Iona will beat SLC and Villa I'm sure. Padua: Undefeated. Has a good chance at a B2B premiership in 2016. SEC: Loosing to Padua MCA: Losing to Padua and SEC SPLC: Imports will arrive soon. SPC: Might lose to Iona. Could be close. IONA: Might beat Pats. Could be close. VILLA: 16 yrs age group...

Alright so some arguments getting heated. Here's a question that's been pondering me for a while. Who would win and by how much? Iona College First XV 2013 vs St Edmunds College First XV 2014 Underfeated Premiers against underfeated premiers. Any 2015 teams that could match either one?

Don't think so. Every other team had multiple year 11's and an occasional 10 playing.

There were 3 year 11's in Iona's First XV this year but only one was a 16's player, but he only came on to cover for an injured player. There were a few that went on as reserves though and they occupied most of the bench.

Nice prediction, but might I suggest Michael Dickie for 12? What are your thoughts.

If Zayne Holleran makes the team then Iona's forward pack will be one to watch out for. I am thinking that Iona's 2015 team will be a stronger side than 2014. And no I don't believe Iona will struggle next year. With the likes of Sheppard, Dickie, Cook, and Pepe, the team will surely be able to...

I'm surprised that tom o'tool hasn't accepted a scholarship to a GPS school yet. If he is at state or even schoolboy level then we are very fortunate to have him in AIC. The last person I saw who played 3 years of First XV, state and schoolboy rugby was Wilken and Devine from Iona and Marist. I...

Is Tom O'Toole in year 11 or 10 this year? When did he start playing First XV?

Have they played already? If so how did they go against GPS 1?
