No results of the warm up games will go up online for any of the provincial sides. Munster have for the past few years announced their underage squads very early while Leinster have generally waited until just a few weeks before announcing their squads. You more than likely will not see online a full squad list of any leinster underage squad until september
Munster posted up along with their squads the fixtures and dates for their youths, 19s and 20s teams

No but you can pretty much guess the dates they will be on. the 19s and 20s fixtures as well as the 18s schools fixtures are usually start in early september. Some of the 18s schools fixtures may be on wednesdays. Fixtures will be opposite to last years so the munster 20s will be home to ulster and connacht and away to leinster.
19s will be slightly different as munster only have 1 19s team this year unlike last year when they had 2 u19 teams

usual enough. there was a period of a few years when all interpros to be held in limerick were played in dooradoyle or rosbrien but the munster branch seem to be playing as many games in thomond as possible these days

As far as I know, the teams are split into two pools, leinster blues,munster and ulster in pool A and leinster whites, exciles and connacht in pool B and the winner of each pool playing in the final

Thanks.
Shame Munster couldnt field 2 sides this year as 20+ kids lose out on putting on the red jersey and its a pity connacht dont get to play all the provinces.

It is a shame how its done alright, and the fact that it could possible be an all leinster final (which I wouldnt mind)

Dont see it being an all leinster final tbh. Munster have radically changed their prep for these interpros so more than likely be much better than previous years and connacht had good 18s sides last year so will be quite strong at 19s. The stronger Leinster side will prob be in the final but i see one of the other provinces making the final

Nothing on the Leinster site yet about underage squads etc. They normally only confirm towards the end of August. Some of the players mentioned about I imagine will be in the squad
