Thereās still time to define their season.
Tom is an absolutely fantastic player and wouldāve deserved a couple of test caps if heād left Connacht a few years prior. Not that heād have been at Ringroseās level but wouldāve been sound for the token āGavin Coombes cal against Canada in Autumnā role.

Ah I donāt know were they even that good at start of season. I saw them against bath week before season started and they were absolutely shocking
Id agree with that. Few wins they will be in mix for knockout stages. That would be a result.

They had a young lad due to play with Mungret in the Feile Peil today. The Division 1 competition was postponed as a result. Very sad.

A shocking sad story. Only 42 I believe.
I think the Head of Rugby in Crescent Collegeā¦ v sad.
Aye, didnāt know where it was in Limerick he got back working. It was Castleknock rather, not Clontaef he was in when he was there.
Not sure if thereās a schoolās thread? Nephew (through marriage) could be starting at no.2 for Pres tomorrow v Munchins.
That Pres team looks stacked. @neilld , whatās the word on Munchins?

Pres have beaten them heavily already this season it could be a turkey shoot
More than likely. Last time i was talking to the nephew he was saying the competition to get a jersey in Pres is insane. Heās been first sub kinda guy for a while i think but i think he might be getting the start.
I used to take mushrooms in around munchins when i was 16 so my loyalties are split.

Will be bursting themselves and are a fine team in their own right, but the Pres team is billed as possibly one of the great Cork schools teams. Munchins actuall won it 20 years ago this week and had a good night out last night by all accounts with the surviving players.
There seemed to be more confidence surrounding Munchins Junior Cup team this year,but that is no slight on the seniors, just that the Cawrkies are deemed pretty exceptional as a group.
Hopefully Iāll see a few of those Munchins lads in Thomond in a few years when my stadium ban finishes for abusing Ian Keatley, possibly in other places, bar maybe Coonagh where I have not as yet ventured.
