With the Six Nations in full swing, we are delighted to see Donal Courtney heavily involved in the assessing of match officials. Donal recently attended the Metro area meeting and gave a great insight into his role with World Rugby. Helen O’Reilly will referee Scotland v France in the Womens Six Nations next weekend.
The Leinster Schools Senior cup moved into the quarter final stages last week. Congratulations to Dermot Blake (twice), Brian MacNeice, Cillian Hogan and Gary Glennon on their appointments to the four games. The cup now moves into the semi-final phase. The Schools Junior Cup quarter final fixtures will be played next week and appointments for those games will be made in due course. We have been delighted with the officiating in both competitions and have received great feedback. Obviously the new 4G pitch in Donnybrook has helped a great deal.
