thanks lads


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

The captain O Brien would still only be an Under 19. Think he was an Irish Youth a year underage also. Saw him play the all Ireland Semi Final last year and he was immense

He was on the Galwegians under 17s team who won the All Ireland who won two years ago, that'd still leave him under 19. He was on the Schools under 18 as well last year

Robbie Henshaw is a big loss for Connacht

Hagz

So it is the Mark Roche from Blackrock College. Looks like Adam Boland is trying his hand out west as well. It's good that the guys who don't quite make it look for the opportunity do so in the other provinces. Peter Reilly and Marcus Walsh are also in Connacht.

Then you have Alan O'Connor and Des Merrey up in Ulster.

did Des Merry join Ulster academy?

Philip O Dwyer played with Connacht schools

Leinster poachers

What's the story with Jack Fitzpatrick, I would have rated him higher.

ormond lad

Ulster beat Leinster 24-16.
Munster were beating Connacht 14-0 at halftime. dont know latest score

porterbelly

21-14 Munster, not sure if it's over. Was 14-14 at one stage

Wow-that's a shock. Very disappointing result for Leinster

Didn't really look like a strong Leinster team tbh.

Leinster pack looked good but didn't see much in the backline, then again I'm no expert

Surprised Leinster lost theyve totally dominated this age group for the past few years. Good win for Munster.

Hi Ormond, if you could find more detailed match reports from the Connacht u-19s matches I would be very grateful. Thanks.

Pretty big achievement from Co Carlow to have developed players on the Leinster U 20s, Connacht U 19s and U 20s.

match report from Connacht 19s v Exiles u19s here is only one i could find.
great achievement for co carlow. its clubs like carlow, waterpark, monivea etc that we need to be developing more and more as there is plenty of kids with the potential to make academys and further but need the resources in coaching, development so they can reach their potential

McFarland and Fitzpatrick are in improvement imo. I'm not mad about the Holland and Shanahan combination though. I would have preferred Holland at 9 and Crosbie at 10. It's good to see O'Loughlin involved too.
