Good to see us tapping up the exiles again. The lesser supplied academies really should be looking at theses guys to boost their talent

Just to take up the point, when you say 'again', we never stopped - the exiles, as a development 'province' has been a steady, if not spectacular, source of players over recent years. Even the annoying kid from 'Outnumbered' was scouted through them.

Good win for Leinster Schools over Ulster Schools down in UL. Trailing 7-15 at HT they rallied to win 32-22. They've clinched the interprovincial title with the win.
