Try not to leave Lauries out of the radar.Ash almost lost to them defending at their 5m line for almost half of the second Half. Great defence from the Ash fowards. The only thing ash lacks is speed in the back line which is where st peters may have an advantage in. But there will probably be a new lad who will be on the John Eales scholarship, not sure where he will play but he will definetly be in a position where the current 16As lack which is probably on the wing or outside centre. Although with 5 grade 11 players in the first, Ash will have A very tough time against Iona ( Dawson, Wilkin) and Peters ( Bennett, kepa, and aiden).

Correct me if im wrong but i believe the 16 A's from Iona this year had been undefeated since year five until they lost their first game to Ash this year and that was mostly because their start players were playing firsts... ?

Yes that is true...I believe ash won the game through their fowards on what was a day filled with mud and rain. Iona rugby maybe back on surface next year as they have the likes of Wilkin.

Sounds like Iona will have a team next year thats been together for ages. It will come down to who meshes the best as a team and performs under the expectations.

As we all saw this year, Eddies were the team expected to take it all with Ashgrove considered their main rival. Just saw a post from the first few pages from this feed where someone suggested Peter’s may be alright this year and then everyone laughed at the poor bugger and asked him if he was ‘serious’ and was he ‘for real.’ The rest is history.

It’s much too early to pencil any school in due to the fact that their may be some star 16’s next year who force their way in, injuries to key players or new players from outside the school. Padua and Pats have as much chance as Iona or Peter’s.

Are you honestly going to say duma won't be able to hold his own after one of the most prolific try scoring seasons we've seen in recent memory.

James Klaassen who made Aussie A in 2010 scored something like 15/16 tries in 7 games and quite a few in 2009 as well.

The number 8 from St Pats, Tom Drew would have to be a bit stiff about not making aic 1 or 2. Watching from the outside he was a dynamic ball runner. I think he scored around 8-9 trys this year, he found holes in every defence.

Can any Marist lads tell me what happened to Sam Giltrap. From what I saw of him last year and the trial games this year I figured he would be a certainty for firsts.

actually, an observer from outside the AIC altogether. this comment people are making about gps not playing enough rugby is simply false, all teams were training by early term 1, whilst some like acgs and nudgee having been playing games since before christmas. not to mention all the club rugby. i am by no means saying sorridimi or ryan are bad players, but front rower's in the gps like sikimeti and pleash are both favoured for yet another year of representing their state at open level. as for duma, he faces the momentous task of facing loane or filiea (Ioane already having played one year at the national tournament). As for the AIC team last year, players like kent and palolua, who is playing for the reds this weekend, boosted that team. Some serious depth issues in that AIC 1 Team, particularly the back line and back row with exceptions for humphries. even the gold oldie jordan perese has past his expiry.

Please bear in mind that Alex Hatzis from SLC who has been selected in AIC2 this year was chosen on the bench for Qld1 last year, but withdrew due to injury. He will be on the selectors radar this year as well

Is it true that Ashgrove go uncontested in the 15 A's this year. I hear from a Lauries dad that every year the team (currently U15) plays Asgrove, Ash go uncontested in the first 10 minutes without injury as they can not match up in the scrums.
