Re: Schools rugby 2020/21
think you need to re-read my postOldschoolsocks wrote: ↑March 10th, 2022, 2:02 pmDo you know how much funding the top two schools pump in per player in SCT?propertymad wrote: ↑March 10th, 2022, 12:53 pm and Frawley is the only other clubs product besides Osborne, that I'd rate as special ...
My point is that it would probably make strategic sense for Leinster to try to bridge the (increasing?) gulf between the top 2 or 3 schools and the rest
If Leinster focused some resources on the 'weaker' SCT sides (in terms of coaching, facilities etc), they would get a massive ROI I believe
Getting Temple Carraig and Fintans up to the levels of Marys and Terenure, and then pushing hard to get all of them up to the levels of Rock, Michaels, and Zaga would pay huge dividends IMO. The continuing (re) emergence of Zaga is down to investment in coaching (and new 4G pitch) from what I can see
I know Leinster financially supporting these schools is probably "politically" difficult in the context of their (mostly) fee paying status
I wasn't suggesting that Rock or Michaels should receive funding from Leinster (or Clongowes or Zaga for that matter) ... rather I was suggesting that Leinster pump money into Temple Carraig, Fintans etc ..... to get all the schools up to the level of Michaels and Rock
That would be a good investment by Leinster, as it would yield more pro-ready players than an alternative investment in 30 clubs
Ideally Leinster should do both

Re: Schools rugby 2020/21
Fintan's rugby has profited massively from its proximity to and collaboration with Suttonians RFC. The school and club properties adjoin one another. Support the latter and you're supporting the former - and vice versa. I'd imagine there are similar cases around the province.propertymad wrote: ↑March 15th, 2022, 1:02 amthink you need to re-read my postOldschoolsocks wrote: ↑March 10th, 2022, 2:02 pmDo you know how much funding the top two schools pump in per player in SCT?propertymad wrote: ↑March 10th, 2022, 12:53 pm and Frawley is the only other clubs product besides Osborne, that I'd rate as special ...

Re: Schools rugby 2020/21
Thats the ideal way to get an improvement. Have a development officer(s) working with a school or schools and have them also working in the local club so the club and school sees a big improvement. similar to what Bandon RFC and grammar school did in getting reggis sonnes a few years back. and what clonmel rfc and clonmel high school are doing now.riocard911 wrote: ↑March 15th, 2022, 4:40 pmFintan's rugby has profited massively from its proximity to and collaboration with Suttonians RFC.

Watching Ulster Schools. Not sure is it the production but it seems to be a considerable step down from top Leinster Schools
Re: Schools rugby 2020/21
So Methody won the final 20-17 v Campbell. They had lost 2 games during season 26-24 v Campbell and 17-7 v Blackrock. Beat Terenure 38-7. Blackrock beat Terenure 48-0 in QF.the spoofer wrote: ↑March 17th, 2022, 4:15 pm Watching Ulster Schools.

name dropping a 12 year old seems to me to be a bit much by Jackman.

Zaga won 34 21. Much the better coached team. Won the breakdown massively.

Marys showed a lot of heart. The yellow card/penalty try was a big call but I think Gonzaga always looked liked winning it
