So they were playing in Mullingar on Sunday and they beat France in Craig's.

Jamie Bowen, Billy Bowen's younger brother.
It's ridiculous to be saying Billy Bowen's younger brother, given that he's 20 and playing for Connacht and has been in Ireland's senior squad.
So this wasn't like a club thing?
It was just the under-19s?
No, this was under-19s.
So you would have had Black Rock, Terranure, Gary, you know, a mix of club players and guys who would have played in the recent Provincial Schools Cup finals.
So there was also the Ireland under-18s.
Right.
Yes.
There were two Ireland teams that played recently.
There was an Ireland team that went, sorry, there were three because the girls went, the under-18 girls went and played in England and they beat England.
There's an Ireland under-18 schools team
largely schools team that went to a tournament in Vichy in France and they won their first two games in that and then there's the Ireland under 19 team who are playing France in two tests in Ireland and they won in Craig's and then they switched up the team a little bit and they were playing in Mullingar for the second match and that was against what France called their under 20 development side so
Yes, correct.
You're right in the sense that, yes, the Ireland schools team would have been a young, under 18, sorry, team would have been a young team and it would have been
fifth year so if anybody was watching some of the provincial schools cup finals you'd have I don't know if it Joe Crystal from Mary's the hooker he was playing for the Ireland 19s Bernard White from Black Rock in the centre Justin Sullivan from Terran York those sort of players and then you would have had a couple of I think there were
I can't.
I'm old.
