watched the Roscrea game and wesley were much better, which was a surprise given the representative talent in side.

Newbridge have some excellent backs, as do Gonzaga.

No team will come close to Blackrock.

men against boys in Donnybrook this afternoon

Blackrock tight-head looks a player

[Colmodon]

Very impressive performance from Blackrock here. A total mismatch in size. Rock 3 and 13 very very good

Blackrock tight-head looks a player

Big Joe's younger brother apparently.

Birch was talking him up as a future superstar for anyone who wasn't listening on mute to yesterday's commentary.

Big Joe's younger brother apparently.

He needs to tidy up his off-loading instead of show-boating his little flicks off his right hand. He has a great looking physique but doesn't need to acquire any bad habits or ideas about himself. It's a very long road to get up to Furlong.......and most of it is in the scrum and maul.

All that said he's a real prospect for a successful professional career.

Like I said a few weeks ago, the Rock-Michaels first round game looks like it was the SCT decider .... no one else is going to get within an asses roar of Rock now

The Leinster u-20 contingent/representation for Ireland next year is going to be dominated by those 2 schools I reckon .... as will the Leinster (sub)academy intake

Gunne and P McCarthy could go straight into the academy

Berman (eligible for 2 years at u-20 AFAIK), G McCarthy, Victory, Jackson, Molony, McErlean (if he gets over his injuries) could all end up in the sub academy as well

its always dominated by those two schools, but I don't think they'll overwhelm it, theres plenty of talent elsewhere if not in schools rugby.

A Leinster U20 side could look like this:

1. George Hadden(Gorey/Clontarf)
2. Gus McCarthy(Blackrock)
3. Paddy McCarthy(Blackrock)
4. James Doyle(Enniscorthy)
5. Jim Peters(Portlaoise/Clontarf)
6. Diarmuid Mangan(Newbridge/UCD)
7. Liam Molony(Blackrock)
8. Josh O'Hare(Dundalk/Lansdowne)
9. Fintan Gunne(St. Michaels)
10. Sam Prendergast(Newbridge/Lansdowne)
11. Jed Tormey(Belvedere)
12. David Dooley(Tullamore/MU Barnhall)
13. Hugh Cooney(Blackrock)
14. Noah Sheridan(Wicklow)
15. Andrew Osborne(Naas)
16. Tom Barry(Gonzaga/Lansdowne)
17. Adam Duffy(Dundalk/Lansdowne)
18. George Morris(Gonzaga)
19. Daniel Leane(St. Marys/St. Marys)
20. Dan Carroll(St. Michaels)
21. Oscar Cawley(Naas)
22. Darragh Gilbourne(St. Marys)
23. Henry McElearn(St. Michaels)

Maybe some super talented under-19's get in there like Sam Berman or Reuben Moloney.

Michaels should run away with the plate, as will Blackrock with the cup.
