Don't know too much about these Ulster players - Who should I be looking out for?

Watch out for most of the backs as they're a super unit with Stockdale, O Hagan very good and in the pack all the d's are very good(Donnan, Dow, Davidson)

My verdict for tonight's u20 inter pros are
Ulster to beat Leinster by >5
Munster to beat Connacht by <7

Agree on the victors. Not so sure on the margins. Don't think Munster will win by 7+

RobbieRuns

Don't think that Ulster have the forwards to get enough ball to their very strong backline. Connacht had them in the forwards last week, it was only in the second half when the half backs got hold of the ball that Ulster started to do some damage and Connacht let the concentration go then. I will take Leinster to win and also go with Connacht to beat Munster ! The Connacht forwards are competitive and could make it a closer game than most people think (here's hoping anyways !)

Connacht beat Munster 13-10

Robbie V played well last Friday night-better than Leavy. I would have him and Brennan on the wings.

Cian O'Donoghue is better than all 3 IMO.

Would agree with you there and only makes the bench due to injury, very strange!

Agree with both..as i posted last week he was the number one wing coming into this series-he did have a hand injury in pre season and did play against Italy but missed some tackles and dropped 2 easy balls..but agree it is strange that he has not started..

leinster89

O'Donghue is a very good player in attack, questionable in defence.

Ulster won 15-10 as to be expected when one side has 7 academy players and the other has 0.

Hagz

Charlie Rock was apparently very impressive. He might put heat on Cullen for the 21 shirt.

For sure, I would say that Rock leads the rankings at the moment, Conor Young from Ulster too would be in the mix.

specttator

some changes in the Leinster squad listed to play Connacht on Sat, a few injuries lurking, no doubt.

You are correct-L U20s now have all 4 centres injured! Brewer/O'Brien/Cleary/Courtney all out-also Power and Z O'Hagan..i hear Brewer and Power having knee surgery and out for a few months as is O'Brien..Courtney back in a couple of weeks as will O'Hagan..

Dardis to start at 15 with Gilsenan called up from 19s at 12 and Brennan at 13..rest of backline same as against Ulster ie Rock at 9/Carberry at 10/Leavy at 14 and Vajeco at 11..

Ulster beat Munster 17-12 to win the inter-pros.

On a related note, does anyone know why Lorcan Dow wears the 5 jersey for Ulster even though he plays 8?

Perhaps he suffers from discalcula......:D:D or the person who sticks on the numbers does. 5 / 8

Hearing a bit of talk that Gary Ringrose may be togging out for Leinster 20's today.

He is definitely starting at 13

Dardis was going to start at 15 but picked up a shoulder knock on Thursday

Paddy Thornton now gone from bench as he rolled ankle yesterday in team run-greg jones now on bench instead of him

Leavy also now out and Brennan at 15 with Viajeco at 14

Hagz

Leinster currently leading 42-14 at half-time. A try for Jeremy Loughman, a brace for Cian O'Donoghue and a hat-trick for Conor Oliver.

Hagz

Full time Leinster 61 - 34 Connacht.

Connacht try scorers: Lowndes (2) , Penny, McVeigh, Leahy

Leinster try scorers: Oliver (3), Loughman (2), O'Donoghue (2), Murphy, Rock

Interesting comment on the Leinster site report of the u19's game

The performance of Max Deegan was a particular highlight for Leinster as the rangy St Michael's man was a leader for Leinster and looks to have a huge career ahead of him.

You don't usually see such striking praise for a player in these match reports.

Number 8.

Have noticed his name pop up a bit in match reports, remember seeing highlights of the pre season friendly against Northampton where he set up the winning try with a lovely break and Sonny bill-esque offload.

Isn't O'Donoghue that winger who was out of favour for the rest of the interpro's for some reason? Remember being very impressed by him watching a schools game a year or two ago
