Demographics

Far bigger interest in schools rugby than youths, the average attendance at SCT 1st round game would exceed a Culliton Cup final. The Hogan cup in GAA would be on a par with Leinster SCT and in fairness that competiton gets as much column inches.

Past pupils from 18 to 90 years old have been filling Donnybrook for years. Like most things on TV it is years of support that has lead to it's coverage in the media not just a decision by some old boy.

I remember a 'Rock Clongowes quater final match having 5,000 at it in 98.
I like to think of Jesus like with giant eagles wings, and singin' lead vocals for Lynyrd Skynyrd with like an angel band and I'm in the front row and I'm hammered drunk!
