    pity berti Newman went overseas (well great to see him push on I guess in a way) but always thought he would be a good prospect in the pro game here with one of the provinces based on his skill set I seen him in sct cup games all be it he’s a tad bit small…

    Thanks for that LSD. Anyone in particular to watch for?

    I'm fairly sure that George Hadden is playing for Clontarf too

    Sam Prendergast, Diarmuid Mangan and Donough Lawlor are all big prospects.. other than that Charlie Tector has a big reputation as does Rory McGuire.

    Right. harder than ever for any predictions for the league. So will we see a finalist other than Con, Clontarf or Lansdowne as last time we saw someone other than these 3 as the top two was the 2013/2014 season

    Will Navan be able to stay in 1B after having struggled initially in the uncompleted 19/20 season after going straight up from 2C/2B/2A in the previous seasons.

    All Connacht clubs bar Buccaneers are in 2B will we see one of them promoted and start the push back to getting a western club in division 1?

    Navan openly wanted to go down after cancelled season to try and rebuild.

    One of their players moved to us. They are expecting to have a tough season and probably go down.

    I think Div 1A will be between

    Lansdowne, Cork Con and Terneure

    1B

    Wesley, Belvo, Highfield

    2A

    Queens, Barnhall, Old Crescent

    Don't know enough beneath that bar the lads in Greystones are very very confident but they always are.

    knew the answer should probably added an emoji or two...

    Last weekend before league is back. leinster league has playoffs this weekend. final division 1/playoff division 2.

    Ulster league continues with 4th round of games.

    Nothing in Connacht or Munster but some clubs may be playing friendlies though most will have weekend off.

    According to Ballinas' twitter they have qualified for the Bateman Cup this year. Great to see after they were a Junior club a few years ago. Winners of all the other senior cups will meet them.

    They were struggling hugely in 19/20 weren't they? As far as I remember they were dead set to go down. Watched all the highlights on YouTube, they play some lovely rugby and have some cracking players.

    Yeah would have been relegated back to 2C if covid hadnt stopped the season but theyd went straight through 2C in their first go but yeah they play decent brand of rugby. Kiwi outhalf theyve had, lindsay is a cracking player. couple of forwards they have are very good as well and have a very good age grade set up to boost that as well as have a few guys who go away for school who are coming back to play with them instead of playing elsewhere like they would have when the club was junior

    I think Young Munster have to be a major contender for 1A - seem to be flying under the radar a bit. Have already beaten Con this season

    Did anyone watch the Tarf and Lansdowne stream, was it as dominant as scoreline suggested?

    No certainly not - Tarf were beaten up towards the end and had a load of injuries - I think they finished with 14 men.

    Good performance from Lansdowne but a heap of work still to do to get to proper AIL standard.
