    Caught the tail end of 19 whites vs youths. Looks like youths won based on reaction at the end. Not much from what I saw, wet and error strewn game.

    Leinster u19 18 - Connacht 15

    Unfortuanetly, I never made it to the game :(.....but from talking to guys at it, it was a very close affair, Connacht leading for most of the game and missing a penalty in the dying minutes to equalise, Leinster scored two tries Stephan O' Neill with one of them and not sure yet who the other scorer was (Ormand Lad, Im trying to find out how Sam Sterling played)

    The youths won it well. It became very scrappy towards the end as it was well won. Think the final score was 30-15.

    Good win for Leinster. Interpro game in few weeks will be very good. If you can find anything on how S Sterling did it'd be great

    Good win for youths against a side a year older. Is the leinster 19s white side up online anywhere? as the 19s white and u18 schools teams were not named on the leinster website yesterday with the other leinster sides

    Great win for them, I know the whites are finding it hard to get a few games before the pros, would love to see the team sheet cos there's a few big names there

    By no means suggesting one shouldnt show support for one's alma mater when it comes to cup time, but the obsession most posters seem to have with these tournaments is odd, especially if these posters are long out of the schools system.

    People are bound to have an interest in future hopefuls of the sport.

    And if you ask certain people a schools game with everything to play for can be far more entertaining than an international match.

    You'd also have to consider the amount of posters here that would have connections to clubs, schools, coaching, following form and whatnot.

    Frankly what I would have an issue with is anyone trying to tar all the posters here as 'creepy' without knowing their involvement with the game.

    That's fine. In fact, myself, the other mods, the c-mods and the admin have already discussed the issue of discussing players in the underage setup.

    Let me be on the record for saying that any and all discussion of underage players is currently heavily moderated - and not just on this forum - for obvious reasons.

    Any unfair comments - in either a negative or positive - regarding underage players will be deleted from any threads. We haven't made much noise on this but you can be assured that is the case.

    As always, the list of active mods are on the bottom of the forum, and so are the category mods. If anyone has any issues regarding any of the above or just want to contact us just drop us a PM. We'll respond fairly quickly, our door is always open if you will.

    Are coaches "creepy" too? How about school teachers? Parents?`

    Is it fair to say the English sides would have a physical advantage in terms of being in their academies from a fairly early age?

    Interesting piece on the back page of d'Echo re changes to Munster Senior Cup from 13/14 season.
    Players will have to have been enrolled for at least one school year before they are eligible to play in The Cup.
    May prevent schools enticing players in but unfair to a player who changes school of his own accord.
    schools in uproar about it according to piece in examiner today http://www.irishexaminer.com/sport/rugby/munster-schools-in-revolt-205989.html
    really dont feel for the schools at all. they actually whinge in the article that it resticts kids from playing which is quite hypocritical when they already do that by making such big panels and stopping kids on the fringes of tthse panels play for their clubs
