    Only the first half of the first match, but surely if they seem to be an equal or better team you'd imagine they'd have more. Can't say any of those 'Park lads aren't deserving of their place though. There was a few on the initial squad who I was sceptical about but those lads all deserve it. I'm sure more of yere lads would be involved

    did anyone stand out for you from clon as i highly think more should be involved

    Nenagh won the double in East Munster at 19s level after defeating Clonmel in Clonmel 14-13 in the East Cup final.
    Best of luck to all 4 sides playing in the all Ireland finals tomorrow. Hopefully there is 2 great games of rugby

    The result of the Youths v Schools. Are Youths stronger for the coming season than last season? Where you at the game? Any player stand out from the Youths side? Cheers in advance.

    Again that's been said every year. who's pushing the change?
    Senior Clubs prefer the 19/21s as they get more players for their under 21 sides.
    Not sure would a change to 18s work in ways some think it would.
    Do you want a change back?
    Think 17s, 19s is working and clubs who cant field at 19s should be combining with others who can so players elgible still get rugby

    There is some logic behind u18's. The drop of in numbers is outstanding in that one year. The East 17's has 2 divisions of 5/6 teams while 19s has 4 teams. I do agree with your point about player recognition though OL, although in fairness, I think the development squad games determine players making Provincial squads more so than club games.

    I'd be pretty happy with either way if I'm honest but 18s/20s does have it's advantages. I think missing a year of rugby would suck though

    I don't think 18s/20s has that many advantages over what is in place currently. what advantages are you talking about?
    Yes the drop off of clubs if you take the East at 19s level this year was big but numbers will increase every year in this format. Galbally won the East under 17s Cup this season, they will be able to field a decent side at 19s that they haven't done in a while on the back of that squad. Clan always field as do Nenagh, Clonmel, Waterpark, Kilfeacle at 19s. Its getting the likes of Cashel, Thurles, Waterford City to be fielding at 19s.

    Vote to go back to 18,s was won by 14-3 , the 3 clubs to vote against we're con highfield I heard clon but I could be wrong !
    I think if they leave it as is for another year and clubs use the rule of B schools like bandon did this year , a lot more teams will follow ! ( not that I'm a fan of that rule)
    It won't suit clubs that are feeder for A schools but they tend to be senior clubs

    Those stories were doing the rounds, city clubs must be envious as most players there leave for A schools , I've heard between con highfield dolphin sundayswell they loose about 50 to 60 players to A schools in 1st year , most never return to their original club
