Quiz: Can you recognise these rugby stars from their school days?

The schools season comes to a head this weekend.

THE 2016 LEINSTER and Munster Senior Schools Cups come to a conclusion this Sunday as the respective finals take place at the RDS and Thomond Park.

In Leinster, it’s a repeat of last year’s decider as holders Cistercian College Roscrea face Belvedere College while Christian Brothers College and Crescent College Comprehensive do battle in Munster.
