New school of rugby thought

THIS is a big weekend for schools rugby.

On Sunday, in Donnybrook, Terenure take on Clongowes in the Leinster Schools Cup, while, in Musgrave Park, PBC and CBC renew an ancient rivalry that will draw the punters out in their thousands.

If you’re lucky enough to line out in these games it stays with you forever. You may play and forget a thousand club games but each kick, pass and try of your schools cup career is burnt into the memory banks.
