    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!

    He is the Clongowes coach. A young teacher with a very limited adult playing background (as far as I know injuries put paid to that) and I would imagine a very bright future.

    Leinster u18 schools beat Munster u18 schools 34-12.
    McCormack, Brennan and Cleary crossed the line, that's all I know.

    I was at the game. First half was tight enough-Munster had the better of the forward exchanges and their set piece was very good. But the Leinster backs were just class-in particular Billy Dardis at full back. He made three of Leinster's four tries and was a constant threat. Timoney at eight was Leinster's best forward-he is very quick for a guy of his size. Brewer also had a good match-he has the physique to play at senior level in my view and he is still only 17. Munster have a very good fly half in Gairoid Lyons who's restarts and line kicking were excellent. But in all honestly Leinster still left 14 points out on the pitch and should have won by far more.

    Who got the fourth try?

    Dardis seems to be quality. I've only seen him play in the Schools cup, but even then you could see that he had a lightning step and a real rugby brain. Leinster could do with a full-back coming through.

    Both wingers scored-both tries made by Dardis. Cleary scored which was made by Brewer and I think the fourth try, which there was a bit of confusion about as at first people thought the ref had just awarded a penalty under the posts not a try, was scored by one of the second rows or else the no 6 and was actually the first try scored.

    Was also at the game and agree about Dardis a real prospect. Felt the Leinster forwards struggled at set piece which is surprising as that Clongowes coach has produced some outstanding packs for the past few years. If he sorts these lads out they will be some team.

    Have spoken with a number of people involved who say the game was ruined with a huge penalty count. Can anyone comment who was at the game! Still a fine win and should set them up nicely for the Ulster game.

    was one of those young referees who wanted to prove his knowledge of the rule book and had little actual understanding of the game, unfortunately with that type of ref you can't say their decisions were wrong, just pointless and pedantic.

    Was at the Mary's-Gonzaga game and I have to say Mary's did not look great. Gonzaga were missing 9 lads through injuries/interprovincials and even threw on some of the thirds in the second half. AFAIK Mary's were missing no one and looked very average although their 13 looks like a decent player.

    This could be an absolute try fest for Leinster considering what they did to Ulster and in turn what Ulster did to Connacht. I presume Jager got injured against Munster. There is no way he could have been dropped.

    The coaches may want to look at other options. Leinster should win but dont think itll be an absolute try fest
    Anyone know anything about the Leinster A schools squad that will be playing Munster A schools for the Joe Weafer Trophy in 2 games tomorrow week(in Musgrave Park) and tomorrow fortnight(in Donnybrook)

    Leinster beat Connacht 61-3. Nine tries to nil. Connacht were actually a physically bigger outfit but the difference in skill levels was huge. I am convinced the referee was under instruction to keep the score down as, despite there being several time stoppages throughout the game for injuries, he played absolutely zero injury time. In fact he blew early in the first half as there was a serious injury to a Connacht player who was neck-braced and and subsequently stretchered off to hospital. Second half he blew on around 35 50 on the stadium clock (which was not stopped for injuries). He also awarded Leinster just 4 penalties in the entire game-despite them being on top in practically every facet. Considering they were charging people 10 euro in, I think his performance was a disgrace.

    Anyway-rant over. Stand out players were Ross Byrne who kicked 8 out of 9 conversions and of course Dardis who grabbed a brace and who once again underlined his credentials as a player of undoubted potential. All in all probably the best Leinster schools team for some while and augers well for a fantastic Cup.

    Thats some scoring. Is Joe Schmidts arrival as head coach starting to benefit underage level rugby in Leinster now? The strength of the schools game in Leinster helps too I'd say.
