Will is joined by Bernard Jackman for an extra episode of The Left Wing to discuss the place the schools game has in the Irish rugby production line and to look ahead to the cup finals on St Patrick's Day.
Bernard offers ideas for how Irish rugby can broaden its playing base to supplement the schools game while he also compares the Irish system at that level with the international schools scene.
Finally, he gives his verdict on the Leinster senior cup final between Terenure and Blackrock, which will take place at Tallaght Stadium on Monday.
