    To be honest, it is way too early to suggest a potential league standing. There obviously is the Top 2, with Lansdowne looking solid but I'd almost argue the other 5 are all battling for Top 4. I'd also back Blackrock to finish 7th or 6th with the talent they apparently have. Navan were a shambles years ago only to go on a great run post Christmas. Clontarf last year also upped it a gear or two after Christmas it seemed last year.

    Most of Rocks better 20s players are up with their first XV so unless they've a game on a weekend of no AIL I'd say the chances of them playing for them are slim, nevermind playing for them enough to turn around their season from where they'll be challenging the others week in week out

    They dont have that many 20s playing AIL judging by quick glance at their teamsheets of previous few AIL games.

    Rock have 8 players (all forwards) that are legible to play for the under 20s to have played first XV rugby in the AIL already and that's not including Adam Lamour (Injured I believe) who started multiple games for the Firsts last year

    Given (more or less) their 20s season isn't going to go anywhere.

    I imagine they will all focus on the 1s?

    Andrew Savage, Steve McLoughlin, Joe Byrne, Conan Dunne, Jack Stapleton, Dan Foley, James Burke, Adam Larmour and Alan Francis have all been involved with the AIL side in the last few weeks according to their Twitter page and are all U20. Must be frustrating for their 20s as that's more or less strongest pack at that level, especially with Byrne.

    Wonder what Premier 1 club loses least players to AIL side each week.

    Milne is the biggest prop I’ve seen at u20 level in a long time, he was the size of a professional prop when he was only 16!

    Andrew Porter was bigger at u20 level.

    Milne got too big while at Roscrea in 5th year, wasn't as explosive or mobile and was more injury prone.

    Has relatively slimmed down now, has struggled at TH for UCD U20 since moving back there post Leinster A involvement.

    There’s pictures at Andrew porter at u20 level and there’s pictures of Milne at school level, When Andrew porter was at u20 level, Michael Milne was even bigger than him when he was still in school

    Who do you think will be captain and vice captains? A few former schools cup captains in that team

    you were saying Milne was bigger in school than Porter at that stage, he was not and will not be allowed to get that big.

    He is smaller/lighter now than when he got too big in school.
