QLD AIC Rugby 2025

Can start getting interested in the 2025 season now. A few schools start training in the next few weeks.

Any predictions, players to watch, new coaching teams.

Anyone know if ATC will be playing in the 2nds Comp again?

It's challenging for them as they probably sit at the 3rd XV level but with SPLC not having seconds they needed to move up. Hopefully the next Head of Rugby at Peter's manages to have numbers in the opens for two teams and ATC can play at their level.

Following on from that, does anyone know who was appointed Head of Rugby there?

ATC have talent they just need to put some more emphasis on there program… I would also like to commend the school on how involved they are with the expression of Australian Indigenous culture, with there entire 1st XV team performing a dance before one of there fixtures. I hope there program continues to improve, whilst maintaining there strong connection to the first nation’s culture.

Zane Smith is a player I'm excited to watch in the AIC 2025 season. I believe his transfer from Grey College (South Africa) to St Peter's has just been confirmed. He was a dominant forward in the seconds for them, and I can't wait to see what he does with Firsts Rugby.

I'm also keen to see what the next head of rugby does over there.

Any Players or coaches you guys are on the lookout for?

After 4 premierships, Lauries head coach Welmar Du Plessis has been poached by another school (TBC)

It is BBC. Fantastic Coach who helped turn Laurie's around.

Assumed it was one with a bigger budget, good coach, massive loss for Laurie’s

 

[Jets]

Will be interesting to see who replaces him. Will it bring a new style of play?

The replacement is Dave Sheehan, one of Du Plessis’ long time assistant coaches. Been in the system the last 5 years. Lauries will be strong, good players coming through with a well established program in place to work from.
