    Well obviously i know it wasnt given.... But that is pretty much what happened
    It isn't. Scrum would have been call and would have been to green. Ref was passing to a green player and blue ran on to it. Not an issue...
    Ref certainly didn't intercept a pass. Ref was in the way and the correct action is a scrum.


    Anyway higher division leagues in Leinster start next week but no fixtures on Leinster website. Anyone know groups/full fixtures??
    I think he was joking to a certain extent....

    Gonzaga beat Terenure today i believe 17-21. Terenure probably missing all their interpros though so thats the best part of their backline gone, that said i think gonzaga had an interpro too so take from that result what you wish

    This years 6th years made the JCT final for Terenure.

    Their backline is where they have most their talent..

    Sam Dardis, Adam La Grue, Ross McInnes, Dominic Henry Hayes, George Morgan are backs that were involved to varying degrees with Leinster over the summer.

    Will struggle up front.

    look on InTouch rugby and you will get a review of all games involving Ulster sides so obviously will sometimes include Leinster and Munster schools friendlies.

    Just read on ﹰFacebook that Ulster won 18-17 in Donnybrook. Rare for any kind of Ulster side to win away to Leinster.

    Anyone see it?

    Very rare. Leinster have won under 18 schools interpros for oover a decade plus bar 14/15 and 03/04. And Ulster always poor in under 18 clubs.
    Not at it but great to see Ulster going strong.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,247 ✭✭✭Paul Smeenus


    It'd be nice to know who the standout players for the actual winners were, if anyone was in attendance.

    Sounds like a good game. Encouraged to hear about a gnarly forward pack getting a vital, timely turnover and running the clock down.

    Just reading down the squad list for ulster, and was wondering if anyone knows if David McCann is the same McCann who played 2nd row in last years final for RBAI? He was huge and he had an impressive game, and I remember wondering why he wasn't getting a chance with any of the u19 squads. Being u18 might explain that.

    More than likely I guess, it would be a bit of a coincidence if it wasn't although looking at the team list he was down as No.8 for Ulster Schools.

    Just had a look at the final, and I'm fairly certain it's the same player. Looks about 6'5.

    Enjoyable match yesterday

    Standout player for me was Ulster wing Sexton, runs like a mini George North.

    Leinster werent in the game at all until Ben Watson came on at 10 for Egenton who was having a nightmare. They improved after that and could well have snatched it. Besides Watson, standout for them was probably Dardis, also both props who carried a lot and showed excellent hands.

    Believe this is the first time Leinster have failed to win this inter pro series in years, and you would have to wonder about schools' commitment with eg: no Belvo involvement yesterday following Rock's boycott a couple of years back (although they had 2 starting yesterday so that appears to be over).

    Munster won in 14/15 but before that it was all Leinster back to mid 00s when Ulster and Munster won one title each
    And did Rock actually boycott anything? And theyve had a few involved the past few years. And while Belvedere may have won the last 2 and been in final of cup year the year before that most who played those would be out of school or overage for 18s for this season.

    Aaron Sexton did the double in the 100/200 m all Ireland schools intermediate championship back in June.

    He ran 10.77 for the 100m and 21.43 for the 200 m. The latter was a new championship record.

    Denis Hickey was the last Rugby player of the professional era to win a 100m intermediate title.

    Will be interesting to see if Sexton can win the senior title next season.

    Interesting Greg O Shea who had been in Munster academy would have been one of the quickest in recent years having been a medalist at most levels(mainly silvers etc as behind Marcus Lawler who is irish junior record holder and also ran for Ireland at senior level

    Meh, winning the interpro's is nice but it's not the ultimate goal.. which is developing players for the academy..

    They had two narrow losses to Ulster and two comfortable wins over Munster. Some of these lads will never play for Leinster again, others will progress to 19's and so on.

    I don't think Belvo boycotted either, well they had players involved in August but none made final panel.

    well it's true, they defeated Leinster by a point.

    Congrats to them, hopefully it means Ulster have started to sort out their underage setup.

    Still needs to be a wider spread of schools next to those Ulster players' names.
