May I suggest that the Sports Directors of AIC schools place some more effort in choosing coaches for their schools 1st teams. Two weeks in a row I have witness appalling behavior form Coaches. The coaches are representing the schools just as much as the students, and from I have seen lately the...

Thoughts and Prays go out to the young man who unfortunately broke his neck while representing Pats 16a, last Saturday, wish you speedy recovery,

yeah not a bad idea, just not sure how well he would back up, not exactly a model built for endurance is he. Has size, good hands and a good goal kicker but missed out on the running gene.

let me guess SPLC PNG u/18 backline again

None will come close to knocking this team off, IMO the best team Ash have put on the park for many years

Pats 29 Iona 0 Pats look a reasonable team but won't trouble the like of ASH and Padua. I don't know who the coach of the Pats team is, Teacher? Parent? or other? But he is a disgrace to the school. The way he yelled insults to his players from the sideline was very poor. The embarrassment of...

Think you a being far to kind Kyle, Iona was dreadfully. Apart from the first 2 to 3 mins there was no competition. Ash look a very complete team and for them to be beaten, will take a huge effort. Iona will have to pray for no injuries this year, the replacement players they used yesterday far...

Padua got over Iona to the tune of like 6 try to 3, in the 1st. Padua has some size about them and do look a good team, which looked to be playing well below par yesterday with out doubt will be better. IMO they will be close to the top of the table come season end. Padua do seem settle on their...

Re Villla/Iona trail, do keep in mine only a TRAIL in most cases the games are used to have a look at shadow players. Interesting that in the 16A game Iona put a cricket score on the Villa team apparently not even in the same league, potential that some 16s may move into the first.

hot of the press, League is coming back to IONA, and will be completing in the Confraternity Shield this year.

Just having a quick look at the 2015 results http://www.padua.qld.edu.au/news-and-events/padua-news/show/441/aic+rugby+results+2015/ and I have to congratulate SLC for their turn around, from 6 in 2014 to 2 in 2015 in the aggregate looks like the changes and hard work are working.

I have written about this before but it just keeps popping up, the promising 2017 year for IONA was based on the strength of the 2014 14A premiers, which was a strong team, however after the lost of Key players to GPS the now 15A team has become a just average team, only winning against weak...

you must be very proud of yourself/son, I'm sure it was a TEAM effot JR2

I felt for all the 1st xv players this season playing their games in front of such small and quiet crowds. It's a real achievement to represent your school at that level, and to have the opportunity to play in front of large vocal crowds taken away is very disappointing. I can however confirm...

Congrates to Padua well deserve premiership

the wooden spoon goes to........... Villanova Iona 21 v 20 Villa

The Main reason for the decline in the AIC rugby comp = GPS Scholarships. There has been a real arm's race in recent times. eg IONA'S 14A 2014 Premiers and a real chance of becoming 2017 Premiers, until a few scholarships latter now IONA'S 15A have managed to only win 2 games in the season...

Mohr must be a leaguie? I would suggest that coaches need to educate players with regarding game laws. I would take a guess that most 1st AIC teams would include a number of players who haven't even attend a rugby match other than what the see at school.

gee Padua are going to be hard to stop near year, IMO their standouts were among those listed above in year 11. How strong are Padua 2nds and 16A?

oh yeah, this 1.30 start has to go without doubt the smallest, unenthusiastic crowd I have ever seen at a school first game.
