A recent article in the Irish Times caught Ivan's eye.

It was written by Owen Doyle, a former Test referee and former director of referees with the IRFU.

Doyle was writing about schools rugby, which in many ways is the feeder system for the successful professional teams we have today. He has some concerns that professionalism is bleeding through to the school game, and it's not all for the better.
