I would suggest this will be a real pointer to the AIC season. Both have players back from 2018 teams. Pats will probably be a young team this year but their halfback will be the fulcrum of their game plan. Iona might have too many guns in the outside backs? Just a trial but will be intriguing...

Padua 2 tries to 1 victors in three periods of typical trial rugby. Padua had a few First XV standard players missing last night and I was told by a Sunshine CGS mum that they were missing some QLD reps. A breakaway and a centre? How good was their little blonde fullback though? He can kick! Was...

And it is back at Ballymore this year...!

Villa squads are off to NZ in April. Marist is also touring NZ. Any other tours planned?

Sawtell? What team at Lauries last year?

Whisperer, two good examples thank you although I wasn't aware of either of their background. Bennett has signed an NRL contract with the Sharks but has been a standout for Nudgee for 2 seasons. Is Manu staying in rugby? I don't recall him being on the schoolboys tour?

Mathison has now been confirmed as a coach at Marist three times so I'd say it's a definite. As for Pats and Padua coaches, they coached the AIC rep team together last year so no doubt have used that stepping stone as an opportunity to another coaching gig. As for kids moving from AIC to GPS...

Thanks a lot Reg. For what it's worth here is some unbiased initial analysis of next year's competition. In 2018, the top 3 teams in each grade (where the vast majority of 2019 First XVs will be selected from) were respectively: First XV - MCA, SPC and Iona (three way equal premiers) Seconds -...

How does one start a thread for AIC 2019?
