    Clongowes were indeed a great side last year and deserved the Cup completely, Michaels definitely deserved it on the day however. But that Belvedere side was fairly poor by any teams standards. For O'Byrnes try against them, he walks through about 6 would be tacklers, that's just not good enough for any side who fancies themselves. Admittedly O'Byrne was a very big customer, but still, no excuse.

    Completely agree, i havent seen such a disorientated Belvo team in years... They were shambolic

    Marys try was an incredible piece of skill.

    I wonder how many 'Michaels players were missing today? Fair play to 'Marys-the standard of the cup seems to be very even this year with everyone seemingly beating each other.

    Nick McCarthy and Adam Leavy were the only ones I saw missing.

    Marys also missed three kicks by a matter of inches.

    Well I was kind of half joking as every time they lose the excuses are trotted out. Still surprising tho as 'Michaels have 7 players in the Irish Schools U18's and U19's squad and 'Marys don't have any. Mary's seemd to have joined the group just behind 'Michaels and Terenure.

    Marys always seem to be the surprise team of the year. Never marked to win but regularly get to the semis and finals.

    Less students than even Gonzaga, they must have some excellent coaches there.

    I'll gladly eat my words if wrong but this marys team have never achieved anything of note and never been particularly impressive. Don't think that we've got a miraculous improvement and rather have bad performances against Marys. Likewise for the Rock-Belvo match. Belvo 5th and 6th years never been better than average.

    They took the much-vaunted Terenure junior team of 2010 all the way in the first round 3 years ago-'Nure only winning 8-6.

    Didn't see that match so can't comment but when I have seen them play they were an ordinary side and they have no depth whatsoever. One key injury and they'll be gone, their seconds are a big step down from their firsts.

    I don't think it's up for discussion that technically the two most talented teams are Terenure and Michaels, the Leinster representation speaks for itself. It would be a great story though if someone like Marys could pull together as a team and win the cup. You never know I suppose.

    Gonzaga has 92/93 per year.
    Generally have 4-5 teams in 1st year.
    3 teams at u-14 & JCT.
    3 senior teams & a social team.

    Lot of Chess players.

    As far as I'm aware Nick McCarthy has left Michaels in order to pursue an acting career in the US

    That's what the word on the street is. Apparently they're bringing in Shizao Li as a replacement. McCarthy shouldn't be too much of a loss, Shizao is a serious talent, unbelievable strength for a guy so fast, he got a scholarship from China.

    Gonzaga 13 looks like a great player, solo try with a great dummy in one of the clips.

    they had two guys in the backs that really stood out + a big second row(#5 i think) + one of the props scored two tries, but mainly they were well drilled and once they found weaknesses, were able to work them. Pres have big injury problems esp scrum half...

    Having seen almost all of the league teams i'd say that gonzaga are best all round, then castleknock, who are good in attack but let in 28 points in thier match against Pres...

    Guys who played 1st team pro rugby from 2008;

    Leinster
    Tom Sexton (Belvo)
    John Cooney (Gonzaga)
    Dominic Ryan (Gonzaga)
    Jack O'Connell (Clongowes)
    Darren Hudson (Marys)
    Jack McGrath (Marys)
    Noel Reid (Michaels)
    Ben Marshall (Andrews) [he might have left in 09)
    Ian McKinley (Columbas)

    Elsewhere
    Michael Keating (Belvo) at Doncaster
    Michael Noone (CBC Monkstown) at Leicester Tigers
    David McSherry (Templeogue) at Connacht

    Ridiculous amount from one year group alone in a province before you factor in the Conways ect who were 5th years. As a Leinster Schools team they went undefeated in South Africa against their provinces. Don't think there's been such a tour since actually.

    When he was younger I thought Terry Jones (Terenure) had a future in the game. Gary Foley (CBC) was in the Academy for one year and fizzled out. Surprised Shane Grannell never ended up anywhere.


    Ian keatley (Belvo) Munster
    Eoin O Malley (Belvo) Leinster

    They were both '05, the list is '08 though doesn't include, as the Mont said when he posted it, the lads like Macken, Conway, Colly O' Shea, Buckley and Ben Marshall who were 5th years at the time. One of the most talent-filled senior cups in living memory I must say.

    They're from 2005/2006 ish. As I said like Rock in 2006, a lot of talent in one team. That Belvo team had Keatley, Paul Donoghue, O'Malley and Cian Healy. Difference to 2008 was that level of talent was distributed through 5 or 6 schools where as 2005/2006 we had really a Rock/Belvo dominance.

    O'Neill will be back for Christmas training and at the latest it'll be January. In other news, CBC Monkstown beat Gonzaga 18-8 in Donnybrook today in Junior League Final. CBC 13 was very impressive, didnt catch his name and Gonzaga 7 to boot.

    The top three fly halves in the cup are indeed McKeon, O'Neill and Byrne, but I'd say that O'Neill is a far better centre than he is a fly half.

    He probably wanted to play, I wouldnt be surprised if most the SCT team played. It's just a freak injury, no one is to blame. Can't wrap a guy in wool and pray he stays healthy.

    Good game at the Junior League final, CBC well worth the win. CBC's 13 (Dan Casey) and 14 stood out and Gonzaga's 7 (Jack MacNamara) was the best player on the pitch for me. Casey is a serious athlete though, not only is he playing for Sunderland, he's also playing GAA for Dublin at an underage level according to what I heard yesterday. CBC could be dark horses for the Cup, they've a very cohesive backline and I'm pretty sure were unbeaten in the league.
