leinster got a good win over belvo tonight

Stanza2

Connacht 20's had a good run out v Corinthians tonight, nice win, it's all shaping up nicely for all the teams

Leinster5

Was at the Leinster u20 game tonight. Impressive showing from them against a Old Belvedere side that clearly hadn't trained much in comparison. Ringrose, Kelleher, Coughlan and Fitzpatrick all stood out for Leinster. Was interesting to see Richie Allen playing for Old Belvedere against his 'former' team, played well and scored a try.

Can you remember the starting XV? I'm interested to know if Delahunt is starting at hooker.

Delahunt started at hooker. Struggled at scrum-time and made a few errors around the pitch, but threw well.

Was also there and i was seriously impressed with Fitzpatrick on the wing!

O'Neill also played well on the wing scored at least 2 tries but was carried off with an injury,don't know how bad it is.

Thought Belvo might put them on the main pitch Belvo in comparsion to Clontarf weren't up to much but probably retsed players for senior games this weekend

Yeah not near strongest team In my view. Who would you add to that team? Jack o D in backrow, John Madigan in 2nd row maybe Sonny Dwyer in backrow

Who are the front runners for irish u20s scrumhalf?.. Is it a problem position?.. Also, was Coughlan playing wing or was he in the backrow, assuming it's yerman Sean Coughlan from Rock last year?

Don't see any position as a problem. interpros haven't even been played yet.
Caolin Blade from Monivea(irish 19s last year) is a front runner for SH. Munsters Ryan Foley could be there as could any of a number of players from Leinsters 18s/19s last year(Lavelle etc)

Ya i've heard Blade is meant to be a tidy player alright.. Wouldn't of heard of many others i'd have to say.. All in all though, the potential squad looks pretty epic this year.. Indeed over the next two years.. They should really push on and make it to a JWC semi at least in one of those years

grim but could have been much worse. From the tweets Munster started horrificly going 33-7 down after 20mins but they lost 40-21 with Hartpury just having scored their last score in the final 5 minutes of the game.
Dave Johnson, Shane Airey and Dan Goggin got the trys for Munster with Airey also kicking 3 conversions

Richie Allen is going back to the Leinster u20 set-up supposedly. Don't know if I believe it as it would be some turnaround.

Why would it be such a turnaround? Was he dropped or something?

He was dropped from Leinster 20s a few weeks ago, and then started training with the Connacht 20s side only for Leinster to prevent him playing for them. And supposedly he's back training for them.

The Leinster Academy side will look interesting considering a good bunch of Academy players will be held back for the Saints game.

Younger

It is Leicester (Tigers) academy they're playing, not Leinster academy.

Hagz

Ah so it is. Well that's disappointing.

Quint2010

Interesting to see Dardis and Byrne (Adam) have been omitted. Are they needed for the first team?

I would imagine like last week they're being held back for the Senior team yes.

I'm happy to see Coughlan on the wing. I thought he was good there for Blackrock.
