Could be 20s. Evan o connell didn't train with the munster 19s for most of summer and only came back for interpros as was with academy/pros all summer. Hasn't heard was injured...
No evan O'Connell or joe hopes is a surprise if they arent injured. Both started in the row for the u18s last year.
turns 19 this year so u20.
He’s only 18 isn’t he?
He is U20.
Any particular players you've heard are worth watching out Lost Ormond?
How come Ruadhan Quinn isn't included in the U19 squad?

It is lazy to an extent. Yes i will assume both clubs have an 'A' and 'B' side but the sides wont be squeezed out. they;ll still play phase 1 and have qualifiction for plate or bowl after christmas. Maybe the 2 clubs wanted it this way as well
It's just lazy to be honest.
I'd assume that both clubs probably have picked a strong "A" team and then a second squad made up of mostly U17's and some others.
Putting them all into the same group just squeezes those teams out in the early phase.
They could have easily swapped out two teams with the "city" group without any impact.
Travelling to Ennis/Bruff isn't any more difficult than the city clubs travelling to Senans.
would have made more sense. wanted to keep all city teams together i guess...
Ennis and Bruff have 2 teams each at U18 and they manage to put them all in the same group?
Could they not have swapped them around with other North Munster teams?
Munster u16/18 first phase draws made
good to see nearly 50 teams in each competition for phase 1 and always is potential for extra teams to be added to phase 2 bowl if clubs feel they have enough players later on to field a second team

Murray was as much Garryowen as Munchins. 9 who toured at some stage another on that tour. discount Aki as schooled in NZ so different. so its 8. Henshaw and Furlong from clubs backgrounds(both also played in their school but are clubs players....). Kelleher, Porter, Beirne, Henderson, Conan were schools.
u18/19 sides playing warm ups ahead of interpros. Leinsters 18s sides played Worcester and Gloucester in England yesterday. Munster 18s sch playing 19s and Connacht 18s and 19s playing Ulster in next few days
huh? beirne, henderson and murray were all schools players. i presume conan was too but im not certain
Which province? When? I wouldnt saying writing has been on wall for schools but its good to see gap closing. The future is clubs and schools and more integration between them and doing more to get schools players integrated into clubs and working more to keep people playing into 20s and then full adult level be that J2/3 or AIL and higher up...
Schools were humbled by the u18 clubs . Pandemic removed their advantage ? Obviously the writing has been on the wall for the schools for a while but bohe pandemic has probably accelerated the process. Haven't produced a half back in 20 years and lions absent on schools players. The future is clubs
Ulster u18 clubs 40-7 EIRA
So mostly schools players.
