Welcome to the Green and Gold Rugby forums.
As you can see we've upgraded the forums to new software. Your old logon details should work, just click the 'Login' button in the top right.
You can find them on the Rugby Xplorer app, although the process is so unnecessarily complicated. You have to go to the “Teams” section, add a team from the comp you want to view, and then in the “Comps” section you’ll be able to view the full draw.
Seems the Villa boys have finally had enough after seeing their rubbish team get thrashed by 131 in two weeks. :p
On a more alarming note, I've recently heard that SPLC have failed to field any rugby teams in the U14's. If this is true, I'd say some serious questions have to start being asked...
Callan Henschke replacing Aidan Fabris this week at #2 who is out with a minor shoulder injury. I imagine it's just a precaution before playing Padua next week.
Rafter to start for the 2nds.

I mentioned the last half decade because I felt that to be a "top school" in the competition you have to at least rank in the top 4 consistently. Villa and Lauries may have done better in the years preceeding 2010 but to label them a top school is a bit much when you look at their current form...
Not a factual view? Let's look at the First XV placings for Villa and Lauries over the past three years (you referenced O'Toole so I'm going to assume that you are indeed referring to First XV):
Villa (2013 - 2015):
5th - 4th - 7th
SLC (2013 - 2015):
7th - 8th - 5th
Rugby is very poor at...
I chuckled at this. Good luck finding an AIC player talented enough to take it further that hasn't been picked up by a GPS school.
Pickle will always be our saving grace :')
You may be confused, it is possible for a school in the AIC to play both league and union. The Confraternity Cup is played after the Union season and Padua, SPC and SEC all have teams in it. Maybe what you've heard is that Marist are looking to put a team forward in 2016?
The selectors seem to have chosen a front row/tight five based on size and not scrummaging ability, given that the Qld 1 props got embarrassed at trials. Perhaps its necessary though since the 18 yr olds from across the boarder will no doubt be packing some serious weight.
Agree that Adams was...
