The Academies

Dubinusa

Connacht didn't grab Cormac Daly? I hope he goes up to Belfast. At times he looked like our best lock for the u20's.

harsh, who would you have instead of him?

BigJimV

when will the school's thread be set up, interested in the current u18 squad which I here is exceptionally competitive this year? with some outstanding forwards, specifically in the second row/back row.

I apologise for the white knightism but do we need to post about academy/young players in this way?

ClanofLams

Is the Munster prop Conway joining Connacht or was he just on trial?

It won't be soon, I expect the u18 schools interpros will be talked about in here.

Any players stand out to you?

Hands Like Flippers

Interpros are much earlier this year. Festival style based in University of Limerick.

schools/clubs?
Should be both with one off games in old format also used. With all provinces and exiles there would be 8 teams so festival with all 8 teams would be good to see.

Hands Like Flippers

I think its just leinster ulster munster exiles and not mixed up with clubs.
3 matches i think.

Then exiles are playing schools provincial sides for first time ever then? Will exiles be allowed play for the "schools" u18s irish side then in 2019?

Hands Like Flippers

I can't answer that I'm afraid. Don't know any more.
