Huge upset at John Eales! What a great game of school boy rugby. You really forget how exciting these comps are after you leave school. Hats off to St Peters for coming away with the win, and heads up Ashgrove boys you came very close. The Peters back 3 look to be on fire at the moment with some...

not sure exactly, but rumour has it that a few of Patties players were playing in the Mal Meninga Cup. They couldn't play school until the MM season was over. I know for a fact that at Marist you are not aloud to play club of any sort during 1st XV season. Aren't Patties a bit of a league school...

Agree with all those predictions apart from Ash vs Peters. I think it will be very close, but Ash will pip them. They've got that Marist Ashgrove winning mentality, losing never enters their minds.

also didnt get to see the Iona vs Ash game, but will get down to the peters game this weekend. Should be an interesting contest against a much improved St Peters setup.

I think its much too early in the season to be grouping sides into 'tiers'. Yes Eddies have looked the goods so far, but we are only 1 game in! Granted Eddies are favourites this year and the game vs Ash will be huge, but to put Eddies in their own 'tier' at this stage is laughable. Whatever...

I agree Light and I also think Kent might be a dark horse. I watched a lot of AIC this year and was very surprised with the dominance he showed this season. I saw two of Ashgrove's games this season and firmly believe that had Kent not been playing Ash would have lost. In the two matches he...

In 'light' of what you said in regards to Bowen not offering as much compared to the other QLD fullbacks,do you think any of them could be bolters for Oz schoolboys?

News straight from QLD training today! Chris F'Sautia has been ruled out of this year's tournament and been replaced with the GPS1 13 (who's name escapes me).

Great to see so many AIC boys making it this year, a testament to the strength of this years cometition.

QLD 1 & 2 squads Congrats to all the boys for their selection. QLD 2 1.Jake Newell BSHS 2.Fa’atausili Lafaitele Victoria Point SHS 3.Tom Moloney NC 4.Sam Fattal TSS 5.Daniel Preen IGS 6.Connor Mitchel ACGS 7.Shane Larkman SEC 8.Winniata Barret TSS 9.Scott Gale NC 10.Will Thomassen...

qld schools carnival So who should we expect big things from in the upcoming games? the two halfbacks look good for a QLD spot, but are there any other players who could be pushing for selection? I personally think the AIC 1 back 3 look likely (Watson, Kent, Brimble).

Good on the Ashgrove 15 for not taking that sort of ignorant rubbish. I was unaware that abuse he was subjected to was racial, and can now completely understand his reaction. Racial discrimination has no part in our game and young players should not be exposed to that kind of behaviour. The only...

Padua vs Ashgrove I think you will find that the number 15 was baited all game by those padua old boys and had simply had enough when the try was scored. granted he shouldn't have reacted the way he did, but the amount of abuse he copped from the crowd throughout the game was 'disgusting'. He...

Player's to watch at the carnival? Any bolters for QLD selection?

Completely agree with you Admiral. Eddies and to a lesser extent padua have always utilised big hard running forwards complimented by 1 or 2 nippy backs and always finish around mid table. The difference this year is in the quality of the traditional rugby schools. In previous years the Marists...

When are the AIC team's announced?

I think the inability of other AIC teams to cope with these hard ball runners is playing a huge part in the success of Padua and Eddies this year. They are simply using what works best for them, and hats off to them, it gets results.

heard the 15 scored a blinder of a try from a kick return?

stand outs for the peters vs eddies game were Brimble for peters and the big 8 and 12 for eddies.

would pick ty brimble on the wing instead of davies, guy can't run in a straight line. And never seen blackman play so can't comment on him playing fullback. Will watch Eddies this weekend though. If he's good it will be between him and Kent for that starting 15 spot. agree on everything else.
