    Yeah, that's not how team sport works.

    As I said I like him, but at the end of his career if he ends up with only a magners league from club rugby it will be a shame for him

    Little to do with an individual player though so your points not really valid either way

    does every who plays per season get a medal?

    say Leinster used 60 ish players this season... everyone gets a medal? not just the senior playing squad?

    What's being in the academy got to do with anything? He played 9 senior games, therefore played a significant role in the winning the league. Why would he not have gotten a medal?

    its a genuine question, im just wondering if medals are given to everyone who makes an appearance during the league season?

    or is there a minimum start / appearance requirement before this happens... or do you have to be fully contracted etc.

    in other professional sports there are definitely minimum requirements in order to receive a winners medal.... so im interested if someone knows the answer in regards to celtic league rugby?

    No there isnt. Certainly dont have to be fully contracted with the number of academy players who regularly play a lot of games through the season

    No minimum start or appearance requirement either afaik.

    great, id hate to think there would be academy players over the years who would have played at the top level but never been recognised for it.

    I remember years ago in the premier league in soccer you had to have I think 10 appearances to get a medal. In Martin Keowns last season with arsenal it got to a stage he had to come off the bench in the last 4 games (I think it was) to get his medal but arsenal hadn’t quite won the league so he was relying on them being in the lead to get on for the last few.

    In regards London Irish, they get a huge chuck of money from the RFU for developing young players, it was mentioned somewhere recently, they would need to hand this back etc....cant see it happening

    and i recall in the 1986 FA cup final where kevin moran played, he didnt get a medal cos he was sent off !! they eventually gave it to him at the start of the next season
