    This is some of what was posted on Munsterfans about the Munster v Connacht u20s warm up that was played last thursday.
    Three 20 minute periods were played. Munster scored three tries and one conversion against Connacht two tries.
    Connacht got stronger as the game went on but having said that Munster were camped in the Connacht 22 for the first of the three periods, and were penalised four times with the ball turned over, so there were some good chances to deliver scores. They looked pretty good and fit overall. Munster may have committed a few too many men to the breakdown and I know they were trying out combinations and positioning rather than just trying to work scores.
    I think the entire squad had a run out for at least half the full time played each.
    Ive posted these already but my as well post them again. As usual these games will be the main decider in who get the first call up to irish 20s training squads that usually first meet up sometime in october.
    Munsters last 3 warm ups are home to Italy next tuesday in cork, away to Sale Sharks on Monday week and a game against UL Bohs/Bruff on Friday fortnight.
    Munster v Connacht, Friday, 7th Sept. Musgrave Park, ko 7.30pm
    Leinster v Munster, Friday, 14th Sept. Donnybrook, ko 7.30pm
    Munster v Ulster, Friday, 21st Sept. Musgrave Park, ko 7.30pm

    I would assume its 6 7 8 but all 3 have played a lot of their rugby with their club/school at 8
    cronan has mainly played at 6 at provincial/national level

    I wouldn't be expecting much from this Ulster U20 squad on the basis of the Ulster Schools U18/19s performances from last season but I believe Conor Joyce, Ben Alexander and Rory Scholes to be three names to look out for from that squad.

    Keep it up Ormond Lad, it's always nice to be able to check out the progress of the next generation of provinicial and international players. I was thinking the other day as I was scanning through the U20 teamlists and Schools squadlists that I was probably seeing one or two names that will become big stars in the future but I just don't know it yet, and for some reason I think that's kind of cool.

    Could be

    Couple of lads missing from that team, Jamie Dever at 3 and Robbie Henshaw at 13. Remains to be seen if Henshaw will be involved in the interpros given his involvement with the first team at the moment

    will be interesting to see how no16 goes. He was on shannon saints all ireland u19 winning side last season. interesting to see how he takes his chance up west
    more interested in how some of those subs go than some of the starters to be totally honest like 16, 18, 19, 21 and 25 are names that stand out to me from those not starting and of the starters 4, 9 , 10 and 15 stand out
