Is Hawkshaw the best 10 prospect coming through.

I'd say he'll be a 12 to be honest.

Now that the School’s season is over, when do the U18s & U17s Leinster school teams start training or are trials first?

Training for any age grade sides don’t start until the summer, there’ll be trials and the bulk of squad will be already identified and doing gym sessions twice a week with Leinster s&c coaches

There will have been screening sessions and assessments held players will already be given programmes to use for s&c or whatever before sessions start in July. Same as all provinces

First rule of u18 rugby, don't report on u18 rugby!

Good to see so many Blackrock and Michaels past pupils playing in the Lansdowne v Blackrock College RFC game in Williamstown yesterday. Although it was the result I didn’t want still was a great game.

Conor Jennings who played for belvedere in 2014/15/16 has a brother who's playing next year but got injured this year. Would have made a huge difference. Plays 10 (like CJ), commands backline and has the game changing ability. Bill Jennings you heard it here first

And?

Rock won the cup, that doesn't mean they will have many players in the leinster u19 squad, especially when most of rock best players are under-20 next season.

Where’s Tom Maher and Clarkson? Sam dardis will be there aswell and Ben O’Shea is better than Reynolds. Would have one of the madigans over Maher aswell he was good in cup last year but was really poor this year

Maher/Clarkson/Dardis will likely be playing 20's.

Maher was playing 12 in the cup, he is highly rated by Leinster on the wing.

Cup performance often overrated.

Sam Dardis is ****, he’s highly overrated, he’s still living off that try he scored against Mary’s when he was in 4th year

I was talking about John maher .. how do u have rigney starting with two Irish schools props ahead of him? Cup performances over rated? The games are close to interpro intensity and standard

O’Brien ahead of Jody Booth for Ireland u18’.
