They do indeed. Why? They recruit hard and letters are posted. They keep an eye on school boy talent unlike some clubs that rely on one or two schools to supply their Colts grades.

Thank you to the Double Take team who covered the GFs on YouTube. The commentary was colourful and the camera work was topical and unfiltered!! Highlights: - arrest of Tiger mascot by security and subsequent comment "was that Tyrell Barker?" - comment that Easts are the loosest supporter...

Does anyone know where the finals will be played? I trust there won't be clashes with the Bledisloe?

They frame it as a responsible decision but it is a cop out. Soft. Like when it rains. This will have more negative impacts than any protectionist measure they have rationalised in their heads. I feel for all involved. But this is risk management gone mad.

The Finals games are hosted by different schools. This was the list posted in June but happy to be corrected. I believe the First XV Final will a 4pm kick off. Lauries (Yr 5), Pats (Yr 6) Padua (Yr 7) Iona (Yr 8) Villa (Yr 9) Peters (Yr 10) Marist (Opens)

Big win by Villa away. Good to see they put last week's controversial and heartbreaking loss behind them. Well done to the boys.

Pats gave Ashgrove a scare early but were then dominated by a classy XV with some outstanding tries from all over the park. MCA lost their captain to injury and trust he will be ok for the future games. Too much depth for Pats in the Marist team but Paddies never gave up.

Watched the replay. It was the story of two corner shops going at each other - Laurie's Pick n Go v Peter's Wall. Peters were clinical early and raced to a 22-6 lead. Curious tactics from Lauries to have three shots at penalty (kicked 2) because they didn't get many chances in Peter's half...

Out of interest, does anyone know the Finals schedule for Opens? Will the First XV final (Pool A First v Pool B First) be a standalone game that everyone can attend?

Wow, what a week of posts on this thread. Not much teaching going on some days clearly! A week is a long time in AIC so I expect a few more twists tomorrow with the absence of round 1 nerves. Pats will be out to make amends for the 2018 loss at home - a game they led at half time by 1 point...

So a late penalty goal to Lauries for 10-8. They already had a red carded player hence the ref's hesitancy perhaps to give a yellow to the fullback who clearly breached twice. It looked shoulder to shoulder but it was an open push and then a grab of the jersey. Don't think the Villa player is...

You cannot grab the opposing player's jersey.

Well done to the underdogs from Pats who must be disappointed they let Padua get away with a late draw 20 all. Lauries can count themselves lucky by the look of that charge down. That is a yellow card (SLC 15) and a penalty to Villa at the very least. Anyone know the SPLC v Iona result...

Ashgrove by 35+ Padua by 17 Villa by 2 Peters by 7

Very surprised at some of the results. So much for my forecasts. Lauries have a habit of lying down in trials only to bounce back in competitions, so wouldn't read too much into their game yesterday. Pretty sure Floyd Aubrey wasn't in the 2018 First XV. Can someone confirm?

I am aware of a few mid-August trials, subject to date changes and regulations. Pats playing Villanova 14th (Ekka holiday) Villa playing MCA 11th SLC playing Padua 13th and MCA 8th

Gold Coast Bronco, by virtue of elimination and a bit of guesswork, I have concluded the draw looks like the following with Pool A games listed first. Don't quote me on home and away but I have based on last year's draw. Asterix next to the expected games of the round. Lauries play Villa in...

I still think St Peters are a smoky. More so now they only have to win 3 games to get into a winner take all final.

Pool B is definitely the stronger pool so whomever wins Pool A, is going to have a massive Final on their hands.

Congratulations to the AIC schools for getting Term 3 sports happening. POOL A - Pats, Ash, Eddies, Padua POOL B - Iona, Villa, SPLC, Lauries The Ash v Padua game will be at Ashgrove. Padua hosted in 2019. Likely to be lots of old boys there nonetheless - subject to Corona restrictions of...
