Haven't seen any standout 10s yet. That being said I haven't seen every game so let us know if there's been any. David Moran had a good game, just back for injury but I want to exclude bias ⚔🗡

Don't think o'donovan is worthy of a spot, for his sheer size he didn't really show much against Clongowes, penny was more influential. Would also put in Anthony Ryan at 6.

What does it matter what you think. You hoped for a lesser team and you lost. Now you look stupid saying a player from Michaels is not good enough. You’re left discussing other players because yours aren’t good enough

Not a clongowes man if that's what you like to believe. Just don't like that Michaels team for reasons already discussed.

Most are basing it off that one missed tackle for tadhg bird. That’s a fact.

And what was wrong with his defense for the 19’s?

Sure you aren’t a Clongowes man.

Find it hard to believe that anyone dislikes a team for woo’ing and high fiving.

More like you dislike the school for deeper rooted issues. Calling your bluff for one and for us calling Clongowes rightly average all these years

It was generally poor? He misses too many tackles

Reuben pim at 6 over Byron just like he was for u19 this year , he was also vice captain and playing ail for trinity this year

Nothing to say for yourself about your pre match comments except to pitch for a player in a losing team? Personally I thought the less heralded centre Jay Barron was a much better prospect than o 'Shea

O’Shea was on leinster schools but injured during interpros , in Irish schools squad over Christmas and pretty sure he played leinster schools last year too as u17

Didn't make Leinster schools interpro squad last season. Played trial game tho.

Assume he was injured considering he made the Leinster senior cup squad of tournament and in Irish schools squad too

Madigan has 3 tries in 2 games and a few conversions he’s surely got to be the form 15?

Hmmm,harry Donnelly an interesting selection,would personally have Andrew smith on at least one of the wings.Hill seemed to be anonymous IMO

Very true. More importantly what’s he doing on our schools twitter page? Mind his own business and not comment on another schools twitter page behavior.

Molony and McGagh both have 2 tries in cup so far for rock and madigan has 3 , surely they should be included ?

I agree with the Molony call here feel he is a far better overall player than Hickey and Obrien, as for mcgagh I don't think he does anything that anyone else mentioned above doesn't do. He wouldn't get in to Michaels or Belvo back row imo

Lost to CBC Cork, Michaels, Terenure

Fair to say CBC cork best school team in Ireland this year? Unbeaten in Munster preseason and beat St.michaels earlier in the year. Scored atleast 10 tries in Munster schools cup so far and into semi finals.

Nope, don't even think they will win Munster.

Also be interested to see what Michaels side they played.

And why is that?
From what I hear Pres Cork are not the same dominant force as last year, have a usual backrower playing prop. Only team that could shock CBC would be Glenstal and even glenstal lack depth.

irishfan9

PBC aren't as good as last year, maybe... but they will still beat CBC.

And when they played Michaels..Baird wasn't playing and they still only defeated them by 1 at home.

Like all preseason games, it means little.
