St Patrick’s are preparing for three weeks of finals type rugby as they continue to chase their first AIC title since 2018.

Pats dropped their first game of the season last weekend, falling short against Villanova 25-22, but are still well and truly in the premiership race with three games remaining.

“I think we lost our way in the Villanova game a little and probably tried to overplay our hand a little,” coach Josh Neilson told Rugby News.
