Still better than boxing events where people get shot.

I really struggle to understand why anyone who isn't still in school gives a sh*te about schools rugby. You don't see grown men discussing how their old school's soccer or Gaelic football team is doing, and yet they care about the rugby team. It's a bit bloody weird tbh.

Because soccer is club based in this country as is Gaelic. Rugby in Ireland is schools based and lots of clubs are follow on from the schools, Rock, Marys, Nure etc

fair point, well made.

Roger Hassenforder · 30-01-2018 01:07PM

Not even a bit of a "Donnybrook"

A "fight" shouldnt involve balloons and a chap in a pink shirt swinging of a sign.

Very poor fare.

Just a bunch of coked up, soon-to-be-barrister ape men having handbags with each other.

Ah they do. Anyone who played GAA or soccer in their teens are still often interested in how their former team are doing.

As mentioned above, the primary feeder into the adult and professional teams are the school rugby teams. So in the same way that a GAA enthusiast will watch Ballymun Kickhams for the next Dean Rock, a rugby enthusiast will keep an eye on the Blackrock Senior team for the kids who will be the next Brian whatshisface.

A bit of violence never hurt anybody.
Toughens them up and teaches them a thing or two about the world.

The past pupils of Terenure College seem to be well used to a bit of violence and toughening up. Not sure it did them any good though.

or the lad kicked to death outside a teenage disco. a few slaps did him no harm at all.

Imagine that was LOI soccer, the tabloids would be bursting with articles in the morning, this might make page 10.

100% correct and it'd be "pride and passion" if it was the GAA. Joe would be all over it for a week if it was Rovers v Bohs related.

Cricket gets a similar following I imagine.

We'll it's not a 'Protestant thing' with those two schools. Also, never seen or heard agro at a cricket game. People are too concerned with drinking tea and eating cake or some nice sandwiches. Played hockey for years and it was always good-natured.

If only i had of known about some of this when i went to school there 15 or so years ago!. Would of had plenty to say when they where giving me ****e!

Id never send me kids to any private school full of ****e the lot of them.

At the time me ma and da where just trying to give us best they could barely afford but god i wish i could turn back time and refuse to let them pay it now!

The current principal and he was there when i was there whos mentioned in the article was an absolute **** of the highest order wouldn't be surprised what half of them in there ''dresses'' do be getting up to.

As for the students :pac: Those fights around rugby season always went on i was involved in one or two meself and i couldn't give a ****e about rugby.

Funny thing was at the time i was there you got a mixture of fellas from all around the place even Tallaght etc so it wasnt always the stereotype posh lads. Doubt theres many now.

And these guys go on to run companies.

Bunch of lads working near me on the floor. Probably the same crowd who would be fighting at schools rugby matches. They start slapping the tables when it's someone's birthday, like 10 year olds. Twats.

That has the whiff of rugger buggery to it.

DEFTLEFTHAND · 30-01-2018 06:21PM

Only a bit of high jinks chaps, no harm done.

No need to inform the local Constabulary either, they've enough on their hands dealing with crime in the tenements.

MilesMorales1 · 30-01-2018 06:27PM

You call that a fight? It's barely a scuffle.

super_furry · 30-01-2018 06:32PM

It literally took place outside a Garda station and they couldn’t be bothered to arrest anyone.

Would put you in mind if that kid kicked to death outside Annabels.

These are ponces not street thugs.

They wouldn't be well versed in this type of combat.

Yep. Gas. No batons used either. They'd at least have the legs bate off them anywhere else.

Rugby in Ireland is far from schools based. There is some clubs that were originally closed to just past pupils of schools like blackrock, marys, terenure but that isnt the case now

we are talking about the Leinster Schools Senior Cup. Senior Cup is an adult competition

Your comparison is incorrect as Ballymun Kickhams are very different to school

beertons · 30-01-2018 08:22PM

Those women in Waterford would have hammered all of them.

Who won the game anyway?

Not even a half-decent shaper to be seen.

Typical millennials.

Salvation Tambourine · 30-01-2018 11:24PM

My friend went to Michael's and apparently one of their chants was;

You're dad works for my dad! You're dad works for my dad.

He's never allowed forget that he was involved in this ****e.

Terenure v Michael's
