Pats won their 1stXV game 19-12 but the development team went down 0-19. I dont know the names of the schools they played but from what Ive heard, the teams are skillful and tough opponents.

St Augustine’s play Anglican Church Grammar School (Churchie) in Brisbane tomorrow afternoon I believe in the 16A’s, 2nd XV and 1st XV. This will be Churchie’s second trial match since playing Villanova a fortnight ago in the build up to the QLD Schools GPS season in Term 3.
This should be an interesting hit out with opportunities to give game time particularly for the young lads in contention and pushing for a starting / squad spot for the respective schools and upcoming competitions!!

Wow that's an awesome result for Auggies, I believe Churchie is one of the best teams in Queensland. I may have to readjust their position on my ISA predicted ladder...

Pats have completed their tour to Japan winning three from four and only losing the fourth by 5. The development team was two from four.

I hear that Saint Augs beat Trinity on Friday in the 1st XV anyone confirm the score?

Yes they did I'm 99% sure that it was 26-12 (something around that score) it was a good game of quality rugby with appearances of players coming back from injury i believe so overall i think saints can have a great season the way they are heading with still many players out because of reasons out of the schools control very excited too see more of this in the ISA season.

Big weekend of trials coming up. Oakhill host Shore, Auggies host Cranbrook (edit), Scots host Stannies and Trinity host Pats for the return clash. Does anyone have any info on what Pius, Gregs and Kinross are doing this weekend?

Thanks Schmooze.
Oakhill and Shore will give a good insight into how Oaks are shaping up for the season, and Scots vs Stannies could end in either a nail biter or a bloodbath. Pats and Trinity could end like it did a few weeks earlier, but Woods is probably going to be out due to Harold Matthews Cup commitments (grand final), going to be close. Greg’s should have View 3rds, they seem to be quite underrated so far. Kinross and TAS should be another neck and neck game, country rivalry. Pius and Scots should end in Pius knocking them over, should be versing their 2nds to be honest.
This should be a close game, the CAS forum posts have predicted Cranbrook to have quite a successful season this year, and Auggies already have momentum. Could go either way.

Pats 17 - Trinity 17
Tough game. Two tries and a penalty goal a piece.
Trinity with the edge in the scrum and at the breakdown (particularly in the second half), but the Pats defence was strong throughout. Pats with a few too many errors to let the backline find their groove.

Agreed. Only saw the second half but both teams looked good in patches but couldnt capitlise on the work they'd done.
Thought Trinity's backline was quite good.

Oakhill v Shore - Shore 26-12
Auggies v Cranbrook - Auggies 12-5 (given the commentary around this game, that's a fantastic result for Auggies)
Scots v Stannies - Scots 80-22 (there's only one direction for Stannies after that game)
Scots 2nds v Pius - 19 all draw (I dont think the result would have been different, but in hindsight, it would have been interesting to see what would have hapenned if these games against Scots were reveresed)
Joeys 3rds v Gregs - Gregs 15-10 (good to see their first up win against them wasn't an anomoly)
Trinity v Pats - 17 all draw (dont think either team would have liked how they played there)
TAS v Kinross - Kinross 42-0 (didnt see that one coming given the year they had last year. Great work boys!)
Auggies vs Cranbrook game report
When I walked through those rat park gates and saw the Auggies boys warming up and the Cranbrook boys warming up I knew we were about to witness one of the great games. looking at the team list thry were both stat stutted line ups. it was an overcast day all around sydney yesterday, but when it hit game time the heaven opened up. The ball was very slippery and in the first few mintues we could feel how high intensity the game was when joe walsh [auggies 10] up ended one of cranbrook players. Walsh only getting a yellow card many beliveing it should of been a red. augs bashed the men in red in the opening stanza leeding to augs first try by number 13. the play stared on half way. and a few kicks later 13 crashed over under the posts. Sam Blank [auggies number 9] nailed the kick from in front of the post. from then untill half time it was a pretty even battle. auggies went into the sheds up 7 to nill. first lots of the second half auggies were there own worst enimies, give silly errors like not finding touch and knock on inside the 22. But auggies marched up field and scored on the hill side corner via number 13. Blank narrowly missing the kick from the side line making the score 12 to nill with about 15 minutes left. soon after auggies knocked it on the cranbrook capitilised on this and scored and converted it to make the score 12 to 5. with the clock running down auggies put a grubber in and it was trapped by cranbrook number 13 he run about 80 metres and looked like he would score and break auggies hearts, but with one of the greatest cover tackles i have seen number 15 run down number 13 to save the day. overall auggies should be very happy with that result i think they are the front runner to win the ISA this year, winning all there trials thus far. cranbrooks number 13 10 and 15 played well snd auggies number 15, 9, and 13 played well I also feel auggies number 12 needs fix up his passing game and he looks hesitant to run into the line. but i cant go past auggies number 8, he left everything out there made huge tackle and run for many metres. I don't know what club he plays for but lets hope he comes to uni.
