The Irish Colleges side play the Scottish Universities XV on Wednesday at Suttonians Rugby Club. The game, at the JJ McDowell Memorial Grounds, has a 2pm kick-off.
COLLEGES FIXTURE: Wednesday, May 2
Irish Colleges v Scottish Universities, JJ McDowell Memorial Grounds, Suttonians RFC, 2pm
This should be a very competitive fixture with the Universities having been narrowly defeated 28-17 last weekend by the Combined British Services Under-23s in Scotland.
The Irish Colleges gave the Scottish Students a real hiding in Edinburgh last year when they won by 47-0. The Scottish Universities have regrouped this year and are a far stronger outfit, playing a very fast attacking brand of rugby.
The Irish Colleges defeated the Combined Services 34-17 in Dublin, earlier this year. This coming Saturday at Twickenham the Services will be hoping to defeat the English Universities for the second year running.
