Anyone want to pick a game of the season and why? Or maybe the top 3 games and why?

So Padua went undefeated in firsts and Lauries undefeated in seconds. Who won thirds?

This Villa team must be something special. That schools going places with their firsts XV this year, especially with this prediction. Almost like they aren't 1 win and 4 losses, and looking to firm their position on the ladder as runners up for the wooden spoon. Fast, strong, defensively and...

Everyone has huge wraps on feeney, but due to his injury is it likely he will be picked in the AIC team as fullback? Would the selectors consider him to be picked on the wing and have a more in fullback wear the 15 jersey for AIC?

#15 for Padua has been a stand out this year, cutting Ashgrove in half to win the game

They beat Iona and Pats in a trial, also beat Pats in round 2.

Padua 3rd XV are yet to lose a game, and haven't looked like losing. They beat Iona, Lauries and Pats convincingly, and pushed past a very strong Marist outfit. They are the team to beat and look like joining their 1sts as the other Opens premiership for Padua
