School Of Hard Knocks Sky Sports 1

Anyone watching this its on now,great programme,giving unemployed and fellas gone down the wrong road a chance to turn their lives around by playing rugby,giving them their confidence back and opening up employment opportunities for them and at the end of the series they play a junior rugby team,Scott Quinnell and Will Greenwood are the mentors/coaches

I detest it. Rugby is for the privileged, not the filthy and horrendous working class. Next thing you know, more and more of the unemployed will swarm towards our sport and my season ticket will have me sitting beside someone who smells of public transport. Ughh.

Fantastic program tonight. It was a real shame about that lad that didn't turn up again after the 1st training. I hope his anti depressants worked out for him. He seemed a tormented lad.

He has been at this for a number of years.

Will Greenwood appears to be a disgustingly likeable and all round good person.

I always liked this series. Greenwood & Quinnell are both very good & give out a lot of sensible advice to the lads involved, not just about rugby.

They've done a few seasons in different parts of the UK now. I wonder would Sky consider doing a season in Ireland (Dublin/Belfast/Limerick)? It'd be interesting to see who they'd get to train them. Reckon Woody & Alan Quinlan would be a good duo.

Quinner's would end up getting a dig or two. I'd say Woods and Shaggy would make interesting mentors!

It's a very good show. I've watched every series of it since it started... I don't know how well it would do if there was an Irish version made with different coaches... I think it works because of Greenwood and Quinnell.. and their character.

I missed the first episode of the new series... Must check it out on sky player...

The show they had on last week looking back and meeting some of the past players was very good. A good few of them in full time jobs and doing well and still playing rugby...

Looking forward to the new series i have to say...

Is it actually a new series ? I watched the program a few years ago. Great stuff. Really shows how superior rugby is in building character and perseverance and an ability to take knocks and get on with it (unlike another sport we know...)

ha! when I saw the line up I was ready to dislike him....but I couldn't:)

Quinnell is funny too he had more F**ks out of his mouth when he was teaching that guy how to run through people:D

Its a great thing for them to do in fairness, some of those guy have had it very tough.
