Munchin’s glad to back ‘respect the ref’ drive

There will be as much notice taken of the sidelines at St Munchin’s College in Limerick this morning as of the action on the pitch as the Corbally school unveils signage designed to make schools rugby games more respectful towards match officials.

The four pitches that have hosted the talents of so many future Munster, Ireland and Lions stars over the decades will, from today, be graced by gentle reminders that the sport of rugby should be both fun and respectful.
