ISA 2025

I suspect the only Div1 ISA school which has no Wallaby is Oakhill although 2 of their ex students have gone on to be NRL big name players.
Does a Wallabies Coach count? If so, watch this space ;).
If Joe ends up leaving at the end of the Lions tour, Scott Wisemantel has to be close to the top of the list to replace him. That would be Oakhill's first Wallaby ;)

From what I've gathered:

Oakhill Fixture 2025:
Trial: Shore (H) v Oakhill (A) - May 3rd

ISA Rd 1: Bye - May 10th
ISA Rd 2: St Pius (H) v Oakhill (A) - May 17th
ISA Rd 3: Oakhill (H) v St Patricks (A) May 24th
ISA Rd 4: Oakhill Gala Day: Oakhill (H) v St Augustine's (A) - May 31st
ISA Rd 5: Oakhill (H) v Kinross / Scots All Saints (A) - June 14th
ISA Rd 6: St Stanislaus' (H) v Oakhill (A) - June 21st

ISA/CAS Rd 1: Opp. (H) v Oakhill (A) - July 26th
ISA/CAS Rd 2: Oakhill (H) v Opp. (A) - August 2nd
ISA/CAS Rd 3: Oakhill (H) v Opp. (A) - August 9th

No sign of the Andrew Wisemantel Memorial Shield between Barker and Oakhill - Maybe because the two teams will play each other in the ISA/CAS Rounds if they make the same tier? If it goes ahead Oakhill will be hosting Barker as Barker hosted last year.
I've got a different draw to the above but regarding the AW Shield, Oakhill play a trial against Barker on the 5th April so I'd say that will be the shield game.

In the hypothetical scenario you gave, Oakhill will be near the bottom of the ISA ladder so they will go in the lower division against the CAS schools. All the A teams' results matters.

Righto you pack of overweight ladies, it’s time to get to business. ISA 2025. While my intensive scouting and surveying over the course of a season, travelling far and wide to spot tje best lad that i could find. And while i indeed see talent at brookvale, it was at Kinross where it really shone through. Some impressive recruitment and training routines show the true blues looking fierce and ready to take down any opponent. I truly believe this year there are multiple Kinross names i expect to see in the schoolboys team and a serious push for this prestigious title.
Yours truly,
Over and Out

Thanks Mungo much appreciated. ISA has produced allot of wallabies and a few other internationals ie: Scotland

All up the ISA have produced 25 wallabies, numerous Provincial players and a world cup winning wallaby coach.

Also to note the ISA have produced other internationals such as Scotland and Tonga. Rod Macqueen former wallaby coach attended St Andrews.

Pretty good going considering the competition hasn't been around as long as the GPS. I think take out Joeys and the numbers of GPS students who have gone on to play for the wallabies would drop considerably.

Any news on the sacred oakhill 5ths and if they'll be able to keep up with the ever so dominant 2024 oakhill 5ths team which saw multiple players such as Declan and Jordan who both made sg ball sides for their respective sides.

I believe Oakhill have 2 trial games, Canberra Grammar on the 29th March and Barker on the 5th April. Not sure if Canberra Grammar is just the 1st and 2nd XV or other age groups as well.

We shall never forget that famous day in 2024 at Kinross where the Kinross 4th grade beat this “dominant” shambles of a 5th squad. Indeed i do agree with James3456, this year St Patricks have no Conti scapegoat to cancel their games on the morning of this year, and with Kinross undergoing a fierce preseason (starting the week after the rigged ISA 2024 season), and big names such as Flynn Baggett and Fergus Strudwick turning their commitments fully to the rigorous preseason, i do expect Kinross to fully flex their muscles this year and take what is theirs: the ISA trophy. Whilst names such as Clancy ‘Rhino’ Lawler and Henry ‘Bunry’ McColl have left the country boys in blue, the youth development at Kinross is unmatched, and therefore I fully expect Kinross to start a major push for the title.

Any thoughts on this ‘controversial’ but analytical prediction?

I cant see much changing from this, although the question is, will Mr Polly decide to play in the centres?

Front row might need a bit of work. Hopefully there are more boys to select from in the 1-3 positions.

Is Max Gioiello back from injury? As he has not been playing SG Ball, I was thinking was still injured, had a new injury or had walked away from both League and Rugby
