Noonan can play hooker and prop, back with Greystones this year I believe

heard mckenzie is joining Lansdowne, any idea on Thompson/Nicholson?

McKenzie is a fine player. Nicholson has potential.

Think nicholoson is staying in Wicklow, doing LC this year

Can't say I've been following the schools games that closely the last couple of years but that team only has one Blackrock College player in it. Must be some time since that was the case.

[mildlyinterested]

the 42's Leinster’s best:

Levi Vaughan - The livewire tighthead was a ball of energy in how he refused to go to ground without a fight.
Karl Martin - The Ireland Schools centre was a step above in his ability to break tackles and get the offload away under pressure.
Aaron Coleman – The Belvedere blindside will not be beaten for work rate, devouring the ground in a display of consistently effective effort and impact.

[COYBIB]

For those in the know, how does Hugh O'Sullivan look as a prospect? All I know is he's an ex-wing, so I'm assuming he's quick, has he played much senior rugby?
