We caught up with Sullivan Upper School and Royal School Armagh on their final day at Rugby Rising in Donnybrook on Friday.
Rugby rising is an All Ireland festival of schools rugby organised by Tommy Bowe and Louis Ludik which featured six boys schools teams and two girls sides, the latter playing a featured game on Wednesday. The competition stretched for all of Halloween week with match days on Monday, Wednesday and Friday and the teams were treated to talks and presentations on Tuesday and Thursday.
The competition featured four Dublin sides, St Mary’s College, Wesley College, CBC Monkstown Park and The King’s Hospital School alongside the two Ulster sides.
