So a lot of the boys in schools are actually over age for it, aren't they?

You get a lot more 50.

So most people in my time were turning 18 in their final year, where most kids are turning 19 in their final year now in school.

a number of the Prez I'm looking to see if the Prez boys were here as well who were a brilliant team Frankie it was more just a comparison from when like when I played everybody was six months younger they're all six months older now by virtue of for six or eight nine months older in their final year in school so the 18s team would be kind of fifth year and very young six years and the 19s team would be six years yeah whereas back in my time in black and white it was everybody was under 18s

yeah the under-19s was your first year out of school yes kind of you know the Aidan Carney's and Brian O'Driscoll and all those lads when they got when they went to the under-19s World Cup they were all in first year college he's correct yes it was there Ireland beat France 18-0 in the final the World Cup final didn't he didn't Brian O miss the miss the kick

So, yeah, it was... Lowest centre partnership in the world.

He was 12.

I think Shane was 13.

Yeah.

Well, Aidan was actually, he was in school, he's my year.

But he got Player of the Tournament, didn't he?

He played eight, yeah.

He was the world's nicest man.

He was.

And still is, by the way.

Yeah, he's still out there.

I met him when we went out with my mum recently.

we gave my dad's blazer to Setonians.

So we actually met, I met Ado when we were out there.

So my dad has one of the last wire blazers, just with the wire crest hands stitched.
