C'mon mate, this is your glory year, maybe your only crack at it for some time, just enjoy it...... It's guys like you who are insecure about your school's place in the pecking order, not us. Sure, unlike some, we've got a great rugby history, but it's posters from other schools who keep...

What's the go with Calvin Pritchard this year? Injured, uninterested or have others just gone past him? When Liam Richman is being picked ahead of him as a centre you'd have to think something is going on......

Great photos, good team.

To the best of my knowledge, Padua has beaten Ashgrove only once in its history, and this year would be the first time ever that Padua's First XV will have finished ahead of Ashgrove on the ladder (assuming they beat SPLC). As far as I know, Ashgrove has never lost the rugby aggregate...

As we're talking about Padua, how many Year 11 boys are in this year's team? Usher.... anyone else?

A mostly fair assessment there, although I didn't notice Mohr ignoring support on his many breaks. Mohr could easily have cost his side the game though with some overly casual fielding of kicks, including gifting SPC their first try from a charged down kick, so it was certainly a mixed bag from...

Ashgrove's front 5 forwards carried the side to victory, ably assisted by some brilliant running from the 15, Campbell Mohr. The front rowers were both fantastic in open play, with the Year 11 prop Tom Rafter even managing to outshine Liam Adams. As happened against Padua, the MCA scrum...

That's correct, but I'm not sure the start time for the First XV has been confirmed yet. With the wash-out if the first round game against SEC, only two home games this year for Ashgrove.

Very serious, although if you tell me that I'm overrating Padua's 2014 team I'll defer to your greater knowledge in that respect. It's just my opinion of course, but I would say that the Padua team I watched last Saturday was a good, solid First XV team but, really, quite 'vanilla". I'm sure...

Can anyone comment with any authority on whether SEC have any real chance of upsetting Padua tomorrow? I don't think Padua are unbeatable by any stretch, with the standard of the top AIC teams this year seeming to be well below recent years. For example, I reckon this year's Padua side would...

Sorry mate, Ashgrove's scrum on Saturday was far superior to Padua's, and Usher is no match at this stage for Ash's Liam Adams or Tom Rafter. O'Toole is certainly good with the ball, there'd be a question mark over his scrummaging at this point but he's a certainty for AIC anyway. I also...

I'm not sure what game you were watching but Padua certainly dominated possession in the second half. And I only saw 2 yellow cards, plus I'm sure you've just made that penalty count up - it would have favoured Ashgrove but nowhere near that extent. Ashgrove were very disappointing tactically...

Apart from O'Toole and Creighton, which other Padua boys are potential threats to Ashgrove tomorrow? The Ashgrove pack is very mobile, well-drilled with an excellent scrum, how do Paduans think their forwards will match up against them? Padua supporters have been almost silent on here this...

Like everyone else I'm pissed off about tomorrow's games being cancelled, as I was really looking forward to watching MCA v SEC (McMahon Oval would have had no problems with the wet). However, the decision might really help MCA and Eddies, as they now don't play each other leaving Padua with...

You first.....

Thanks TT, I think we'll need it...

Hey TT Last word, and my last piece of advice: Ephesians 4:29: Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouth, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear. If I'm not mistaken, that passage also appears in clause 23 (1)(ii)(a)...

The point I'd like to make Big Dog is that if you cast stones you should have the facts to back it up. To be totally honest not many really care about who wins a reserve grade game between GPS & Brothers. You and some of your GPS colleagues have come on the forum this week with various...

I saw the Ashgrove game, Ash led 31-19 with 10 minutes to go and at that stage had 9 starters sitting on the bench ( although Barker also had several starters off at that point). Barker took the game's only penalty shot for goal at 31-31 whereas Ashgrove declined two shots from 20m out, right in...

SEC's likely team?
