I agree with you- "some positions." Like I said, you are showing broken logic not supported by reality as to whether the Lauries boys can play to a different game plan. Generally an undefeated team in any competition gets the lion share of players, especially if the coach is interested in...

Selecting 6 Padua boys vs 3 SLC Boys is a very big stretch from an undefeated season and an absolute domination when they played. I know selections aren't just on results.

Which schools are the players from?

21-0. Lauries win AGAIN!

Disagree. Game of 2 halves. Ash scoreless in the second half after some good play in the first half and discipline issues from SLC. With the ball in the second half, SLC played some great footy to put points on the board and take control. The push and shove at the end was great too. FYI the...

What you say is true, but I think you misread what I was saying. The first XV program focuses on winning. It starts much earlier and develops the kids for that outcome. The rest of the school programs and AIC sport itself is not realistically setup to develop kids in that sport, moreso just...

The first XV program at SLC which is entirely separate to the rest of the rugby program is humming. The rest of the program is arguably underdone in terms of time invested conpared with some other AIC schools but it's just a school decision that they aren't as focused as other schools on...

remember back in the day when MCA were good? Looking forward to the remaining rounds including the old boys touch footy game SLC vs MCA. Hopefully all roads lead to Padua but lots for football to be played.

Tell us more.

Who did Villa get into met east?

Lauries over Pats 48-8.

The relationship between AIC and GPS is strong if you count pilfering. A handful of games during one term is not really a comp that develops kids but unfortunately that is the pinnacle comp in junior rugby atm. AIC is definitely great with AFL and league adding to opportunities but it does...

It will take time and investment to coach their boys through to the required level. Their juniors are ok generally.

mate the villa supporters had very little to cheer about until the last 6 mins. Lots of bluster on social media and prior to the game, generally tame during and thinking about the next once in a blue moon the stars will align for them to challenge for a rugby premiership in AIC. I did enjoy the...

It was a good match. It was more of a brief late shower then a storm at the corn though. Lauries in control throughout, the score closed by a late last minute comeback from Villa.

I heard Laurie's have their captain back for this week. Looking forward to watching this game at Runcorn Saturday!

Yes I am! If he can't keep that rolling it will be a tragedy. In the scheme of many posts here on his sign up, general support and then posts on the first XV team make up of year 12s it's pretty fair game to ask questions. Fwiw my school had some huge losses in a few A sides

Premierships count in First XV. Marist has traditionally had a good rugby program based on the large number of decent rugby coaches on staff compared to other schools. Compare that to AFL in which they don't have strong/big AFL clubs close by and coaches on staff so aren't as competitive...

Agree it's good. It's poor reading for villa success vs marist over the last 10- 15 years in the first XV and elsewhere. One back is always good.

So pretty much nothing has changed at Marist.
