Representative games
Seems to be a real push to have some more games at Ravers this year for the age grade/schools stuff
Anyone going?
More importantly, will the bar be serving??

Re: Representative games
Interesting, for a fiver I would be quite happy to have a pint standing watching the u20s rather than in my local pub, might head down friday!
Re: Representative games
Seems like a good initiative - especially the major step forward made by actually telling people in advance about the existence of the fixtures.

Re: Representative games
Wonder is it something to do with a new events coordinator who in talking to previous to getting the job thought that these sort of matches and Ravens matches were very badly publicised to the general punters.Kofi Annan wrote:I agreepwrmoore wrote:Seems like a good initiative - especially the major step forward made by actually telling people in advance about the existence of the fixtures.
With any luck the next big move would be having some of these matches before or after a PRO12 match depending on suitable scheduling.

Re: Representative games
That number 7 Montgomery is a useful kid as is Morton and he has only made the bench !
Wonder is this the year that McGlock & co start to show the work in the background that has been talked about ?

Re: Representative games
Thats a pretty good team, some very good players in there, that backline could do some damage
Chris Henry is superhuman... I think he's half cyborg
Re: Representative games
Fitzpatrick started for Blackrock College last year at loosehead, originally from Ulster but went south for school.
No Alex Thompson due to injury i'd assume.

Re: Representative games
Is Tom Donnan John Donnan's wee bro? Hopefully we see some stars coming through in the pack as the back line is getting ridiculous [although light at 9].
Re: Representative games
Tom is John's younger but apparently bigger brother.. John being 6'5ish
Re: Representative games
I would not say it was light at 9. Don't know a lot about Conor Young but he was ireland U19 scrum half last year. Josh Fullerton is a really class player, was starting for Belfast Quins in AIL last year. Youngs must be good to keep him out of the team. They seem like a strong pair to me.Silverstu wrote:Is Tom Donnan John Donnan's wee bro?
