    The schools and Munster clash.
    Munster schools in revolt
    By Simon Lewis
    Friday, August 31, 2012
    Munster Rugby could be set for a legal battle over plans to introduce a one-year qualifying period before newly enrolled students can play in the Munster Schools Senior Cup.
    Following a new motion brought in by the Munster Branch Age Grade committee this month, players transferring from one school to another will, from the 2013-14 school year, be unable to compete for their new school in the Munster Senior Schools Cup for a year after enrolling.

    The threat of legal action against the motion comes following a summer of wrangling between schools, rugby clubs and the Munster Branch itself over player eligibility in the province’s most prestigious underage competition.

    this is really to stop the likes of rockwell who have been taking several players from east munster and munster youths squads for the past few years.
    for example rockwell had several players in their 22 for the senior cup final last march who only joined the school the previous september or later in the school year after being noticed playing for east munster u17 development squad or the munster youths
    Cillian Kiely, Steve McMahon, Dylan McGagh all started on the rockwell senior cup team in 2012 after joining the school the previous september and there was another few who subbed in the final or played in earlier rounds of the cup who had only joined the school the prev september.
    will be interesting to see how this plays out

    I agree with this rule to an extent. the schools cant be allowed pick 40+ players and not release some to play clubs rugby while at the same time going to the clubs and taking some of the better players.

    Indeed. Things are weighed too heavily towards the schools at the moment.

    On the positive side, they help scout some of the best underage players.

    The coaching for many kids is as good in clubs in many ways. the biggest thing the schools have is that their games are publicised more, there is v few games in competition and at every game the whole munster development staff, and some academy staff are there watching. the only youths rugby games that get the same attention are the regional development games and those squads dont contain all the best youths rugby players

    I had heard Ulster were not great at u18 schools level this year so this scoreline could easily be true
    ive seen a tweet or two that said the final score in todays leinster ulster interpro was an 85-6 win for leinster:eek:

    Was at the game today and it was a fine display by Leinster, some lovely moves with the usual suspects all having a good game, but in saying that Ulster really were not up to the standard they should of been, a bit sloppy at times, and giving away far too much ball but all in all looking forward to seeing the U18's again

    Holy God-68-5? Noel McNamara-isn't he the 'Michaels coach behind their recent success? Must be destined for greater things at this stage? There seems to be quite an even spread of representation in terms of schools on the '18's and '19's Leinster teams this year. Augers well for a very competitive cup!
