I see where 34 time capped all black lock Patrick tuipuloto has tested positive for a banned substance.

Disappointing but fantastic to see rugby take a strong lead here and clearly willing to expose even those at the very top of the game :clap:

Surprising absence of the words “heroic” and “brave” in today’s papers to describe the Irish display at Murrayfield.

Lot of funny stuff here in fairness about 14 year old lads being brain damaged and stuff. Very good.

The Irish Independent, who publish a schools rugby preview supplement every year, have deemed the abandonment of yesterday’s game is not newsworthy enough for their app at least.

In all, 42 players of the last 100 to don a green jersey come from just 11 schools, nine of those fee-paying, two non fee-paying. However the Ireland rugby team during the specified period of just over 11½ years, draws down in player terms from 46 different schools with diverse sporting pedigrees, and certainly not all by any means that play competitive rugby.

Tralee CBS (Ultan Dillane), Ballincollig Community School (James Cronin), Coláiste Dun Iascaigh, Cahir (Tommy O’Donnell), St Colman’s College, Fermoy (Mike Ross) and St Mary’s Diocesan School, Drogheda (Niall Ronan) all list rugby as one of their extracurricular activities. It wouldn’t constitute the primary sport in any way but does serve to illustrate that more than a smattering of the internationals come from outside the mainstream rugby schools.
