THOSE youngsters with a good eye and quick reflexes could get a rugby ball as a souvenir when they attend the Ireland Australia match tomorrow.

The Ireland schools squad, who had a 100 per cent record last season with 12 wins from 12 matches, will kick over 200 balls into the crowd before the match. It is a goodwill gesture designed to encourage young people to play the game.

The schools squad will be led on to the field by manager Gerry Kelly, coach Keith Patton and captain Barry Gibney 20 minutes before the international.
