I think he is taking the piss Rugbyboot and Ruckhudson. I'm sure no one is really going to give an accurate selection for AIC. It's just school kids trying to stir everyone up or selecting their mates/fellow players.

On Pats their forward pack is not particularly big but they did work very hard and have quite a good player at 8. Their backs are solid, not spectacular, their inside center is big strong and fast and is their most dangerous player. Unfortunately for Ashgrove the Pats boys simply wanted the win...

Some surprising results last round which has blown this years competition wide open. I saw the ashgrove game and their defence was average while their attack left a lot to be desired. Ashgrove seemed to lack that flair player who could give them something a little extra when needed. The pat's...

Some intersting tips... Mine for this weekend are; Ash - well drilled forward pack should be enough to get a comfortable win. Eddies - Same old Eddies, pack will be big and bruising lauries won't be able to get the ball. Villa - See Eddies, big forwards and some big backline ball runners...

I think you guys really need to give it a rest on this whole Peters scholarship talk. It sounds like a few people still have sour grapes from last year's premiership. School boy rugby, whether you like it or not, is all about results, and some schools just don't have the numbers to compete in...

looks like the teams arent getting announced till next tuesday. its a bit odd, its been tuesday of the last round for as long as i can remember. tips for this weekend? SPLC vs Lauries - peters will be too good for the hapless lauries lads, peters by 15 Iona vs Eddies - Tipping an upset...

haha. yeah you're right about that mate, its all speculation. Ill be surprised if i get more then 5 picks right. i guess we all find out tomrrow night.

I know you didn't ask me, but thought id put my 2 cents in anyway. the idea of playing Manu as an 8 has grown on me. Ive seen each team play at least once and Manu could easily be the best 8 running around aic. Laurie is good enough to play AIC 1, his set piece is really good and his defence is...

Congrats St Peters boys! you guys truly deserve it for beating both Eddies and Ashgrove in 2 incredibly exciting games. Sounds like the winger Duma had another good game he must surely be one of the first names down for AIC selection. I havnt seen a winger dominate like he has in the 5 years ive...

Marist vs Villa - the ashgrove boys will be riding high after their surprise victory over Eddies, Ash by 15 Peters vs Eddies - Game of the Year. With marist having done peters a massive favour and peters carrying a lot of momentum this game will be huge. My heart says Peters, who are chasing...

teams are usually picked on the tuesday before the last round.

here is a (what i hope is an unbiased) breakdown of the Peters vs Villa game. The peters back line looked very crisp early on creating a couple of quick tries by slicing through the villa line. before Villa clawed their way back in the game through some good hard, but a little boring, forward...

fair enough. i just dont think the peters 10 will cut it against those gps boys. granted ive only seen him play a couple of times but he looked like he was afraid of getting hurt. needs to show more balls and not play so deep to get my vote.

havnt seen villa play. heading to the game this weekend against peters, should be a good match. the missus little bro is playing u13's for villa so will have to convince her to hang around for 1sts. I havnt seen peters since they played ashgrove so i am very interested to see if they've developed.

Maybe these guys; 5. Andy Neil (SPLC) jumped really well against Ashgrove 1. Lui Afele (Eddies)/Ikaika Faoso (SPLC) Big boppers, need them against those gps teams
