Yeah Pats ended up winning well - Villa seems to have a game plan of always kicking away the pill in their own half. Which would be fine if their chase was ok - but it wasn’t and Pats simply countered in broken traffic - some pretty poor defence by Villa. The first 10 mins they looked pretty...

I hea I hear you mate, it is a damn shame that it happens that way - from a purist point of view weakening the AIC comp is bad for Aussie Rugby. A strong AIC and TAS competition spreads the code and attracts more players to our game. You need good depth across multiple comps to produce better...

One hell of a Saturday morning coming up in the 9As. Villa undefeated plays Ashgrove who have lost only 1 game (to SLC) and SLC , who have also only lost one game (to Villa) play Iona. If Ash and Lauries win then a three way flag - if Villa beat Ash then they are ourtright Premiers. Wow ! What...

I guess you make a point - however No refs equals No game - they are drawn from an ever shrinking pool of people who want to do it - mainly because they cop so much crap from people who are themselves one eyed and can't see that most Refs just try to do the best they can. Refs are appointed as...

The only comment here is that if the Padua 13 is injured then the Villa 13 and Ash 13 last round match up should show what's what. The Villa 13 (Matt Winsbury) is a big body with strong ball carries - he always makes meters over the ad line. And scored the winning try at the death on Saturday...

I find it interesting when someone's team loses they come on here and blame the ref. Villa had a yellow card for obstruction (pretty sure) so they were down a man for ten minutes and still won - don't think the Ref favoured Villa in that one - always decisions made by refs people disagree with...

Just can't see SLC getting up, I wish them well - but I think MCA will have the goods - no choking from this team - but should be closer than some pundits suggest. Ash are the deal this year - no doubt - they will go through undefeated.

Lots of competition for a few spots it looks like to me - but coaches will probably lean towards winning teams and therefore combinations I would think?

Well I didn't see the whole game , as I said in an earlier post , but Villa looked in control against Padua to me - from what I saw the ref went both ways - but maybe not - Ash and Villa in the last game should be a cracker - but Villa sources tell me that they have beaten Ash last two years -...

Sorry to hear about the 9 - this Comp is not long enough for boys to get over injuries - it's a shame that a whole campaign for a team can be over at week 1. With the rise of soccer it's hard to build depth to deal with this kind of thing - hope the young Padua halfback gets back on the paddock...

Yeah I think Villa 10As beat Padua right at the death yesterday - young fella scored two run away tries - he is a great ball runner - not sure of his position - but I think his surname is Agnew ?

Don't know about the Grade 10 lads but Villa and Ash dominate the 9A Comp - Villa undefeated in 2015 and 2016 - Villa side had lots of rep players last year both league and union and so far this season is undefeated I think - I caught last ten mins of their game on Sat and they smacked Padua -...

The Villa 13 outplayed the Padua 13 today- just saying ... He was strong - set up one try and scored another Villa 12 and Padua 12 were pretty much as good as each other - the centres at Villa are a strong point. Agree with Pats 3 and 8 they are very worthy and agree with SLC 9 and 15 haven't...

Padua 44 - Villa 22 game was closer than score line suggests. Padua were the better team but Villa really took it to Padua. Great game played in good spirit. Villa were right in until about the 60th minute - Padua best 2, 5, 12 and their wingers Villa best was 13 and 8 and 6. Anyone know how...

That is very true - if a little harsh - I agree Villa will struggle against Padua and Ash but if those sides don't have the right mindset going onto the paddock they may be surprised. Expect them both to win but I don't think those games will be easy for them. You are right about the ship...

Yes in agreement with above comments - basically because they are true. The AIC team coaches have a fair say as to who they want - and that's as it should be. Although I don't see anything wrong with 1sts coaches nominating their players. The issue is I am not always sure that those AIC coaches...

Eddies played the smarter rugby - wet and greasy conditions meant that the back line of Villa - and their strength , being the centres just couldn't get clean ball to play - all three Villa tries were scored but their forwards from line out mauls. Eddies played smart in the wet weather and kept...
