    Lacey played county minor football in 2016 and 2017 so would almost certainly be an u19 during this season

    Would be interesting to see teams for other provinces.

    There was an Academy Screening session on Saturday in UL for potential new intake.. Wonder if it related..

    Are they swapping out some players to make room for new guys coming through.

    Only so many places in academy, if they want to take in a big class they have to make room in academy.

    If info true, it's a fairly ruthless gutting of the academy that will surely upset some people.

    That is correct... was done yesterday and fairly ruthless to be honest.

    Most going to try with Connacht.

    I'm sure it will be announced soon enough if the players have been informed.

    Some should probably look to Ulster too. As I glance over the roster, I have a good idea who was cut. I think it's a case of expectation. The management expect results too fast and the lads don't develop quick enough. Some of the lads could go into other provinces and do very well.
    I hope if Sean O Connor is cut. He gets a shot at Leinster. I was very impressed with him every time I have seen him.

    Is it Academy cuts only or also sub-Academy?

    Maybe but there would be screening for new intake this time regardless of any moving on

    Sean O Connor wont be looked at by Leinster. They have enough within their own clubs and schools.
    Some may look at Ulster

    Not fair to put any names cut. Think should wait for some sort of official confirmation

    Because they dont deem it necessary to do so yet and its not time to do it now...

    Was it a case of not good enough, or are Munster expecting an increase in quality coming into the academy over the next year or two? Just took a look at the academy list and found it hard to guess six names definitively, so there must be a couple of decent players going.

    Indo reporting Munster aiming to cut down on number of academy players - quality over quantity... with some of that quality coming from south africa and leinster.
