    I don't remember seeing his name on any team sheets. Corrie Barrett, another Ulster u19 prop, has been selected for otago u19's in New Zealand.

    Yeah Barrett went to NZ during last season.

    He'd be under-20 this season.
    Do you know if he's just on a gap year, or if he's out there for longer?

    Not sure, suppose it depends on how he is finding it.

    Heard a rumour Callum Reid would be following him out there but not sure on that.

    I remember someone mentioning that he wasn't going to continue playing, so that'd be positive news if true. Is Reid u19 or u20 this year?

    that's true, but you'd think he'd aim for a bit higher.

    Leinster told him if he doesn't play regularly he won't make academy was minis at coolmine and as far as I know uncle is still over Ashbourne would be perfect fit for him

    He could still play regularly at that lower level and still not make the academy..

    As i said it would be an odd choice for him when he has options at 1A.

    Rumour going around saying he has potential but strength level and gym work let him down heard he does even bench press 100 kg compare that to porter at same age

    Well Porter was a freak and comparing anyone to him is silly.

    He played ireland u20 last season as a u19.. he was 1st choice LH for leinster u20.. he will almost certainly be involved with ireland u20

    Same could be said for second row Daly when compared to James Ryan but you can't compare that. Both Duggan and Daly will surely get stronger throughout the year

    No he didn't, rumour is that he has no interest in playing pro rugby at the moment.

    If he did, he'd be favourite to be 1st choice 1 for Ireland u20.
    Wow , you'd rate him higher than dug and and French?

    you have to question where the 20's is regarded when tierney can have a disaster with the women and get the backs coach role. the filler for the last world cup was unfair on the players as well.

    Would suspect that he had a year or two left on his contract and the IRFU didn't fancy forking up.

    I don't believe he'll be involved on a permanent basis, he's being lined up for a non-coaching role I heard

    No it really doesn't.

    The "development series" was an even bigger joke this year.
