Having up to 14 games for rugby in the season would allow the chance for some teams who have lost a few games, to gain momentum and come back to win a premiership. It would also take out the likelihood of tied premierships for sure. This system should be brought in sometime soon, however the AIC...

Padua and Iona have played competitive sport against each other since the colleges were established in the 50's. So if anyone wants to find out anything about the catholic rugby league competition, just ask any old boy from these colleges from the 50's to around the 80's. I think Padua and Iona...

Very interesting Saecom. I believe that Iona and Padua back in the day used to be in that Catholic rugby league competition for many years and then they decided to join the TAS as well. Both these schools produced a healthy number of NRL players. And Padua has a similar history to Iona and they...

Rugby League in AIC would be awesome. Term 3 sport along with another sport, maybe make water polo a full time aggregate sport. I think in the past they have tried to introduce it but it has never come through.

Based on the current results from the first 5 rounds of the AIC competition, this is what I think the aggregate positions will look like by the end of the season. 1st. Marist College Ashgrove 2nd. St Edmund's College 3rd. Padua College or Iona College 4th. Padua College or Iona College 5th...

St Laurence's are in a similar position as Marist these days I reckon, they are on the decline but they are still a very strong rugby union based school in the AIC. As for St Peters, they are rising slowly but only in their older grades such as Firsts. Villanova are doing well, they have...

The GPS manages so can't see why the AIC can't. The GPS has TGS from Toowoomba, IGS from Ipswich and TSS from the Gold Coast. Schools such as Nudgee have a long travelling distance but they manage to do it somehow. So I reckon it is possible to do it. All schools would just take the bus loads...

I think that Downlands would be a great addition to the AIC. They are traditionally a rugby union based school in Toowoomba and they offer boarding. They should really consider voting again as I believe that Downlands would be competitive in the AIC. Don't know about the other sports but in...

What is everyone's opinion on making AIC a 9 school competition? So it can compete more with the GPS. This is just a thought and who knows, it may happen one day. What school would be considered to join? Downlands College? Or a school from the TAS like John Paul College? St. Paul's College? St...

Yeah in 2010 the Villa side were challenged by Padua and Ashgrove to the last minute. At one stage during the Padua Vs. Villa game it was very close and I thought Padua might of managed to upset them. I Believe that Eddies also did the same that year to Villa. However, Villa in 2010 was a superb...

Nice comment random guy. I reckon the Lauries 08' and Villa 10' sides were excellent teams. Both these teams went undefeated and faced tough competition in their years as well. I reckon that they both could beat the likes of eddies and peters this year. The 2010 Villa firsts were dominant in all...

Marist Ashgrove Vs. Villanova - Marist will be the clear favourites for this game. After an impressive victory against the original competition favourties, they will be even more pumped up for this round. I'm tipping Marist to beat a determined Villa side by 14. St. Peter's Vs. St. Edmund's -...

I was gonna say, 36 points on Padua seems a little bit strange to predict when they have actually won a game compared to pats and been competitive in the games they have lost. But fair enough, your opinion. We'll just have to wait and see what happens this saturday. I agree with some of your...

While on topic of the next games, what are everyone's predictions for this weeks games? Marist Ashgrove Vs. Villanova St. Peter's Vs. St. Edmund's St. Laurence's Vs. Iona Padua Vs. St. Patrick's

Also, last year Padua only got 1 player in AIC 1 due to the Confraternity shield. Many of the players from Padua were going to play in that competition so they rejected being selected in the AIC teams.

Totally agree with your comments rugbynerd. I think people are finding it hard to accept that. Only because for so long we have seen the likes of Marist and Lauries always dominate the competition. It makes it so much more interesting and exciting to have schools such as St. Peters, rise up and...

I do not think any AIC team's forward pack would struggle against TAS teams. The TAS competition is a massive drop from the AIC. I think that even the wooden spoon team from the AIC can confidently beat the premiership winning team from TAS. That's usually John Paul College. Padua's forward pack...

It will be very interesting to see the results of all games this week. We might see an upset this weekend, what is everyone's last minute tips for the games?

I didn't see the St. Peters Vs. Padua game last weekend. However I reckon Briskie is a possible candidate for AIC 1 no. 9. He has had 3 years in First XV including this year, and he has been a great player for Padua especially in last years premiership team. While he may have had a bad game on...

Villanova Vs. St. Peters - This game should prove to be a close one. St. Peter's nearly lost in the last quarter of last weeks game against a brave Padua side that is still awating a win after 3 very close games. Villa have shown some good skills in their games so far. However, I'm backing the...
