Dublin school got their marquee players flowing as they were too strong for St Michael’s College
Blackrock College’s 71st Leinster Schools Senior title was as emphatic as the final scoreline suggests, thoroughly deserving winners against a St Michael’s College side that only belatedly, with the outcome already decided, produced rugby that properly represented the talent within the squad.
Media reaction to Ireland’s Six Nations win: ‘That wasn’t a good Ireland team. That wasn’t a good Scotland performance’ Scrumhalf Albert Lindner had a fine game, particularly in his cover tackling, and provided Conor O’Shaughnessy space and time to manage the game, while the team managed to survive the early loss of wing Derry Moloney who had looked threatening in his time on the pitch. Johnny O’Sullivan proved a capable deputy.
Leading 5-0 Blackrock served further notice following a lovely in-and-out break from fullback Molony followed by a one-handed offload but Michael’s survived thanks to David Lucey’s vigilance. Another gorgeous sweeping attack from Blackrock sent O’Sullivan racing down the touchline, which eventually culminated in a try for flanker Michael Walsh. Within minutes Molony broke free once again, and after rounding Lucey his attempted inside pass was batted down by Ryan. The Michael’s wing received a yellow card.
Michael’s got a reward for their endeavour following a protracted period of pressure, Blackrock hooker Jack Pollard received a yellow card for cumulative team offences and Michael’s secondrow David Walsh powered over for a try that centre Ethen Black converted.
