Its the trolls and regulars engaging with them that leads to the trouble year on year, not the subject matter of schools rugby per se. The junior and senior leagues are up and running this week with round 1 scores on the leinster website. I'd like to keep up to date on who is going well etc as the cups approach, and there are certain posters on here who seem to know literally everything that moves not just on the schools scene but on all the age grades including youths, stuff you would never pick up anywhere else that I'm aware of. Would a restricted thread with access requests be a possibility?

It's "training mileage" for the want of a better term that's the difference.. You are correct , Schools players have more training hours on board than a club player of the same age - I'd strongly dispute that's it's "better" coaching , but it's definitely a lot more.. That's why the provinces bring Club players into the Cadet programs a year earlier than Schools players - to bridge that training hours delta.. But for those who make the cut for the academies 3/4 years later they are no different in skill level and development regardless of where they come from.
