Leinster Senior Schools Cup Rugby - Official Thread

Absolutely

Thought he finished school last year when saw him missing. He’ll be playing for Leinster in 2 years. Cracking hurler.

Where did he play for minors?

Got injured in the first game. Belvo only limping along without him. Plays in the centre for Belvo.

Once upon a time the Leinster schools game was beloved of the purists and romantics of the game for its free spirited running style. But now it has become infested with all of the elements that render the professional game so humdrum. Choke tackles, rolling mauls, one out passing, pods, box kicking. Sad really but you can see why this style is so valuable to the Leinster branch.

That post could be easily applied to Waterford hurling with a little bit of tweeking .

Nonsense. The artificial pitch at Donnybrook has improved the standard leaps and bounds.

In the old days the team with the biggest pack would have bludgeoned their way to victory on a mudbath.

This new pitch has made schools rugby more expansive and better to watch and is also producing more all-round players.

Corner back but plays centre back/midfield for club when they can get him.

You rarely see the dive pass anymore …

Schools finals today in Leinster & Munster today.

The classic Northside v south side final in Leinster . Christians v Glenstal in Munster today .

I’d be surprised if it gets the go ahead in that weather.

I also forgot the ulster schools final Campbell v Armagh . Live tomorrow on BBC NI .

It’s off. Postponed til next Friday.

Might be no bad thing . It will dominate attention next weekend . The grand slam hype might take a lot of attention away .

Glenstal best Christians in MSC final . Scenes !!! There won’t be a cow milked in east Limerick .

Friday is an odd one by the Branch, the numbers will take a hit.

A 35-12 win for the now 69 times champions.

Blackrock crushed Belvo in today’s final .
