Congratulations to former international scrumhalf Alain Rolland who will notch a double first within six days. Yesterday, he refereed his first Leinster Schools' Senior Cup final when presiding over the St Mary's-Belvedere decider. Next Saturday, he will be the man with the whistle for his first ever Six Nations Championship game between Scotland and France at Murrayfield. As his name suggests, Alain is a fluent French speaker so Les Tricolores will have to be careful how they express any frustration.
