And mate whilst you might say you're not taking anything away or it's not knocking, I do agree the relativities are important. Unfortunately these boys don't get to play a game for AIC v GPS or even higher honours to test the lens.

I don't know about ordinary but they made them look ordinary. Get to lots of MCA games?

Interesting that union centres become league forwards. I think Angus Crichton and Cameron Murray were both 12s at Scots and Newington in Sydney respectively. Noticed that Marist Ashgrove were playing their union #12 Josh Radford and crash ball exponent at lock in the Confraternity. His centre...

Yes I am a Pats man. Will go back to the AIC thread to comment on Galloper's thoughts on the merits or potential representative merits of the MCA team, who I saw play once live but their centres were unbelievable that day. Probably the best AIC 12/13 combo in several years.

Yes, will do spud. Up at Bundy watching RL carnival this week where the AIC schools have done well against the traditional favourites of this carnival. Padua in the final 4 and MCA just missed by 2 points on the Division 1 semi-finals. The best performance in years illustrating the talent in...

Strong squad but I could pick a team of non-Academy that would smash this group. Some clear weaknesses in certain positions as a result of lazy historical selection biases over many years. If you were truly benchmarking these guys, you would line up a game against a QLD Barbarians team made up...

One. Mac Grealy who is in Q2.

After being walloped by 60 at Suncorp Stadium by Iona in late March, Pats would be very pleased to finish higher on the table.

Final Table ASH 14 SLC 10 Padua 10 Villa 10 SPC 6 Iona 4 SEC 2 SPLC 0

And then in their big "grand final" clashes played away on Old Boys Day, they conceded nil against SLC, 10 v Villa and 10 v Padua. If they have a big win this week, they will crack the 300 mark for Points For. Scary thing is that MCA will have 4 home games in 2020.

That squad mentality of blooding year 11s has served MCA well in recent years. First XV experience is invaluable as Iona found in 2018 after copping a few hidings in 2017 with a team that was 2/3 year 11 boys. I agree with Echidna on team of the year. MCA deserve at least 8/9 spots in the XV...

After Lauries v Villanova this week, might be time to revisit the virtual AIC team of the year. It's a pity they're not picking one for real as it would have been an exceptionally strong XV.

Slow afternoon at Coorpooroo boys?

Forwards will determine who wins the game but MCA (236-10) and Padua (143-58) tells a story of attack and defence. I think Padua has a few wildcards that could challenge the MCA outside backs but Ashgrove has a deeper bench than Padua across the park.

Wouldn't a semi final series between the top 4 have been good this year?

Updated table and results. http://aicsport.com.au/division/rugby-1stxv/

Yes that's correct Echidna. Villa finish with Pats at home and then SLC away. The last game will be intriguing depending on Padua. Padua has MCA at home then Eddies at home. Ashgrove play Padua away and then Iona at home

No offence met Vik. Just quoting a one eyed MCA supporter

Hey Vik, well done to Villa on breaking the duck egg. Heard MCA got 2 yellow cards and belted in second half penalties to get Villa back in the game. Who were the standouts for both teams?

Just read in CM that Eddies got up over Peters by a point. Must have been like a grand final. After some hidings this year, I bet their coaches and boys are absolutely cock-a-hoop. Padua too good for Pats in the second half. They might give Ashgrove a run next week. Any scores from Iona v Lauries?
