Poor @Malarkey has a chip on his shoulder about pro sports
Hmmm… If this soccer match was as big a deal as some people here make out, this soccer match’s status rather contradicts that emphasis on busyness as a get out clause.
Depends on what you mean by being “treated unfairly”… This criterion cuts both ways.
Am not trying to be snippy for the sake of it but you are being remarkably naive with that statement.
The Munster academy is a slightly different thing to the offally u 14 football panel. They are getting compensated for starters. I wouldn’t expect any intercounty gaa players would be tipping down to the local rugby club for a game nowadays

Some of the dublin rugby schools stop players playing other sports and there is never a word about it.

Once lads get to SCT level, you need them to make a choice. Our own place have falling way down the ladder as we have loads of gaa players on our SCT. They cant keep and put on condition when they are running around playing gaelic games in evening. You can get away with it for some positions in backs but your forwards need to commit solely to rugby (if they wish). Main reason Blackrock and Michaels are so dominant is that they have the biggest packs and literally bully opposition.

I would seriously question the ethics of bulking teenagers up way beyond their natural weight to play schools cup rugby. Getting them to eat 3 or 4 thousand calories a day and living in the gym. Bar the odd few that get professional contracts the rest are left like baby elephants playing no sport at all.

One of Tadgh Furlongs last outings with Horeswood in junior B, he had a big pre mixed shake with him that he drank before the game. Then had another one straight after. Friend of mine playing with them asked what was in it. Shrug of the shoulders, havent a clue, they sent a box load of them with me for the weekend and told me to drink them.

He’s the new Bill Cooper. He’d be better off never playing GAA again if he wants to be remembered as a great.
