I dont see the point in these type of posts they arent even funny.

It highlights the hugely influential players rock have lost in caputo and plumtree although the Francis post wasn’t funny but I have enjoyed the Coyne posts , predictions , I think rock by 5-7 , too many players for belvo not at 100%

Caputo and Plumtree did look decent players, wonder if they're in any setups just now, and if they're Irish eligible

Good to have him back so.What do you think of Belvos chances? I know u said after the Belvo Michaels game that rock would win final

SCT Plate final was won by St. Fintans over Pres Bray.

still think rock will win but it's 50/50.

Belvo have the most talented player, but don't know how healthy hawkshaw is.. obviously the delay helps him.

50/50 would imply a draw. Surely you mean 51/49 in Rocks favour?

Standouts on the day from rock : Clarkson, Molony, O’Brien, Brennan,madigan,McMahon and in particularly McGagh and turner were absolutely immense

Match was live on Freesports as well as Eir Sports 1. Very impressed by Blackrock performance. i wonder how many of players on show today will make it into the Leinster Academy?

Hawkshaw , turner and Clarkson are guaranteed to get into academy , others to make sub academy and potentially academy: Molony, Brennan, Byron, Maher, McGagh,O’Brien and mescal

The rock team today went unbeaten in competition whilst being in the school , good achievement

In their own year group anyway. Many of them would have been involved last year and maybe even year before

Straw Hats

Good game, high standard. Fair play to Belvo for digging in and making a match of it.The stand out for me was Giuseppe Coyne.

I have to mention Glenstal Abbey. That was an inspirational performance and a great game.

Rugby123innow

When is the final of pres and Fintans being played? Are they playing full strength teams and will it be worth a watch?

centre12

Fair play to Hawkshaw today, looked sharp today considering just back from injury.

centre12

Is Hawkshaw the best 10 prospect coming through.
