Not quite all 6 , but close enough. They played 5 CAS schools that year. With regards to disappointing ISA vs CAS results, there is a simple solution. Tell the ISA boys (aka St Augustine's 1st XV) they are playing Oakhill instead of CAS ... you will get a massive turn around in formIn 2012, pretty sure Oakhill played and beat all 6 CAS Schools, therefore they were the undefeated CAS Premiers.
Challenge for ISA is to repeat that dominance at the Rep level over CAS, which seems to elude them no matter how good the big 2 are from ISA (Auggies, and Oaks).
Apparently this new fullback is playing on the wing for the 16A's, picked up rwo tries last week.Pius have a new fullback who had his first season of rugby in the 15B last year, came from AFL .
Lightning fast scored 12 tries in 8 games (or similar).
Will be interesting to see how he goes in higher company.
5 tries to 2 (10-5. At half time).Aloys 25-15 pius

The opening game against Trinity is always a big game for the St Pats boys and they'd be undoubtedly pleased with their narrow victory. From what I saw today, St Pats were average and Trinity were worse. A combination of decent St Pats defense and some very lack luster Trinity attack was the story of the game. Trinity dominated possession and territory, but their attack was ordinary at very best. St Pats must be credited for Showing a lot of ticker and hanging in their defensively. I agree that Jenson, Nohra and Carbo were the standouts for St Pats, and I'd have them featuring somewhere in the ISA squad later this year. I can't say I agree that the front row brought the aggression, as the whole game lacked aggression and the front row definetly weren't taking the game to Trinity in my opinion. The scrum for St Pats needs a bit of work, often going backwards and on an occasion losing a loose head feed. The lineout was a shambles, a combination of off throwing and what seemed to be some slack lifting. Carbo and Jenson worked very hard getting St Pats going forward, also accompanied by Denford in the 2nd row.
Overall, St Pats will benefit from more trials and hopefully gain some more cohesion and fluidity in attack. But to back them to come in 3rd is very ambitious, St Pats should look to take each game as it comes. Another observation I made is that St Pats are playing with a very small forward pack. When they come u against toughe opposition, this may be shown up to be an issue in a more physical match. And for all of those out there who don't appreciate the aggressive and cynical style of rugby played by st pats in the previous couple of years, from what I have seen today and heard today, the school hierarchy is very keen for the brawling and associated connotations to be totally wiped out of the St Pats rugby culture.
Lachlan Burland (Oakhill) is a talented and gutsy Centre. He'd have to be seriously considered for ISA rep team selection.
