Munster Team Talk Thread - Beirne After Reading

Please, they are schools comps, they are virtually meaningless beyond the 23 lads who win and the 23 lads who lose in any given year. I give them the same respect i'd give the Harty Cup which is not much in the grand scheme of things. It's a nice thing to win but that's it. A school who can afford to throw 1000's of euros at them is spunking the money that probably could be better spent elsewhere in the school, but more power to them if they can afford it. Afaik, very few Limerick city schools spend that sort of money, incidentally.

As for experience within youths rugby, are you asking for a CV here? Do you apply the same logic to everyone on here or is it for people who discuss underage sports? I only ask because I've never once seen you ask a poster who criticised an out half (say) if they ever played out half at any level. (As an aside, I remember O'Gara on RTE laughing his hole off at armchair pundits who criticise professional out halves, but we still do it, even though we all know we really have no idea what Carbery (for example) is going through. Maybe I missed you stepping in above to ask which lads had played 13 before discussing Earls and Goggin.) It doesn't take much to see underage rugby in North Munster is dysfunctional.

This is a discussion forum, if you don't like discussing a topic with me it's easier for you just to not reply, but I'm happy to hear out your views. Like I said, I broadly agree with them.

Can't let teams off that easily when your down 15.
