Taking some time to think following the uproar, I can't agree more. As a St Pat's supporter I regret the elitist persona and perspective I portrayed. It was a bad day for both schools, particularly St Pat's. there actions really detracted from the success of St Augustine's ISA campaign. They...

Does anyone know the result of the Stannies Oakhill 14a's match?? If Oakhill St Pats will be playing for equal first. I also think the 15a's maybe looking for a top 2 finish.

#17 Declan Moore was tremendous for ISA 2s as well. It is a phenomenal effort on his part to back up and play the majority of the 1sts game due to Lough's injury. John Walker was solid around the park and I feel is a genuine contender for NSW somewhere as either #6 or #8. The same can be said...

It was really a disappointing result for St Pats who really played out their potential yesterday. In regards to the opportunities for penalty goals, goal kicking is a major issue for St Pats if they had a higher success rate kicking they would have beat Marist ACT in the Waratah Shield, drawn...

Couldn't agree more. A day at Kinross makes for a far more pleasurable experience.

In all my years as a St Pats parent and avid rugby supporter, I can confidently say with 8 trips over the mountains, I have never enjoyed one. I watched the 14a's match as they are one of St Pats more talented teams. Credit to Stannies for winning and that is what will be recorded in the ISA...

Any selection news out of the Blue Mountains today. If people could name players or even the teams it would be great.

21-13 confirmed. Physical?? Close to the worst quality 1st xv game that could be played in the ISA this season. Credit to Stannies for been able to scrape together some decent play and capitalizing with penalty goals.

An unfortunate trend in st pats rugby is that a lot of 1sts and 2nds players will stop playing at the end of school. For example the of the boys graduating from st pats 1stst and 2nds 1 boy went to Sydney uni, 1 went to west harbour, 1 went to Eastwood and 3 went to old boys. 6 from about 17-20...

Looking ahead to this weekend: Stannies Vs St Pat's in Bathurst- predicting a very tight and traditionally firey encounter. St Pats played well to a tight loss against a formidable Oakhill side, whilst Stannies came close to Kinross and have had relatively mixed trial form against GPS...

Stab in the dak that Burke from Stamnies is a fly half, as there was a decent Stannies 5/8 at trials and there seems to be deficiencies in the inside back region. Fairly confident but need confirmation. Loucentre I find it hard to believe that a 2012 3rds player from any school would be in...

Realistically I think the entirety of the Pius forward pack will struggle greatly throughout the ISA. Yes they've had success against the unformmidable line ups of Grammar and High. Having seen the games against both St Pats and Grammar the only bright spot for the forwards was Jake Tysoe...

I am but confused with fixtures for round 1 as the St Greg's website claim they are playing Sydney Grammar and Stannies are scheduled to play Newingron, and given there is a bye round it must be with Kinross? But from way I know, the fixtures this week for round 1; St Patricks vs Oakhill @...

I definetly agree with your point regarding the possibility of a school having two talented players in one position. If that's the case then that player should obviously be considered, if not selected. I do not have an issue with that. What concerns me is that in previous years St Augustine's...

10to12 I whole heatedly agree that these forums serve a great purpose to find out the ins and outs f schoolboy rugby programs. However the issue that I am concerned about is that not every school has access or knowledge of the selections within the ISA squads. If every school knew where the...

Honestly, how does that work? No other school or source knows the placement of 1sts and 2nds in the ISA squad, but St Augustine's seem to have full knowledge of their placement within the squad. I'm sure that information was meant to be revealed at the first training session for the ISA squad...

Any news on selections, or is the squad yet to be released.

Seems to be a misinterpretation here, as Walker, Anderson and Cotton were not playing in the final match, not they weren't trialling at all. Coach carter it seems as thoug you had quite an 'interesting' day at Oxford Falls.

I eventually made it out Oxford Falls this morning, hoping the traffic on the way home would be half as bad. The opens trials seemed to have much smaller numbers than previous years as already mentioned. There was very small representations from the div 2 and div 3 schools, complemented by...
