Wilkin had a serious injury towards the back end of the season, ruling him out of the Schoolboy comp. He would have probably been in the top 3 or 4 players in AIC last year.

What about AIC 2013? Not sure which school has the outstanding 16's year level as i'm not aware of 16's results from this season. Does anyone know which school/s will be contenders next year? I know the Saints entire front row, and all the backs apart from Tkatchenko and Duma will be back next year.

That is interesting. Any info about why these players are refusing to play?

Me and my mates always talk about how much better the wallabies would have been if Inglis played in last years world cup. He is probably the best natural athlete in either codes and when he is in full flight he is a sight to behold. I hate to say but i reckon the world cup could be in different...

I don’t know how St.Peter’s go (likely) undefeated premiers and only manage to get three picks in your combined AIC 1 and 2. And why play Roe at 8 when he has probably been the best 2nd rower all year?

The only player who wasn't there last year was the Hooker. The whole 2nd row and back row since year8, same with the 9, 10, and the 12. The others came in gr9 or 10

It doesn't cost the school anything because the Government pays for it, no parent is asked to subsidize the cost. To be honest I think your view is somewhat discriminative of kids who can't afford to go to a private school. So in your view if a kid's family can't afford to send him to a good...

Saecom, absolutely love your work. I would love to have a beer with you and hear some of your anecdotes regarding AIC and TAS rugby, regardless that you probably have a good 30 years on me. As for scholarships and recruiting, I can’t provide input on Eddies or any other schools but I do know...

My mate coached these boys last year and he said it was probably the worst age group he has ever seen/coached. Just a really bad attitude at training. I really don’t think one specific age group truly reflects the level of competition throughout a whole school.

Agreed G-Man. There is nothing wrong with supporting your alma mater, but there gets a point when it is over the top and just reflects a bad name upon whoever it is you’re barracking for. Lets try and give an honest report of teams and their performances. If one team clearly dominates another in...

Bennet did not play last week as he was in hospital with Pneumonia. Balshaw replaced him and he was actually the starting winger before he fractured his skull during trials.

I can see why you could assume that, and you make a valid point. But from the two games I have seen him play his skill set definitely translates to a quality no.9 rather than a 10.

Based on what I have seen this year, thus dismissing last years play and whatever rep sides they have made in the past, I would have the 10 from Ashgrove (Knox) playing 9 and either the Peters 10 Tkatchenko or the Eddies 10 as the AIC halves combination.

How could you possibly have Briskie at 9 when the Peters 9 completely outplayed him in every facet last weekend?
