Who played 20s this year. overage.

Dubinusa · 28-09-2022 1:13am

He's still eligible next year?

I havent selected any u19's, but you'd expect they'll be involved in wider squad.

Dubinusa · 28-09-2022 2:04pm

I think Irvine is eligle. Surprised he didn't get into the academy. Big enough lad too.

Lsdrugbyfan · 29-09-2022 10:55am

Ireland will continue to play their home games in the Under-20 Six Nations Championship at Musgrave Park, where they will host France and England in this season’s tournament.

I know he did, there was some confusion with eligibility. He’s u21 now

Confusion? He was either born in 2003 or he wasn't. What's confusing about that?

alanb92 · 02-10-2022 9:47pm

I would have thought that Edogbo would be a likely starter?

ljsulster · 02-10-2022 11:10pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119693909#Comment_119693909

Sean? No, not sure he’ll even start for the 19s

No, Edwin. He has looked very impressive for Munster. Still only 19.

ljsulster · 03-10-2022 3:48pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119694683#Comment_119694683

He’s not eligible

Turns 20 in December

Too young or not good enough for that level?

ulsteru20s · 10-10-2022 5:42pm

Any guesses on under 19s who will make it?

O Connell and Hopes stand out as exclusions from under 19s seeing as they are already in academies.

I thought that Sheahan (the hooker) and Gleeson stood out in pack for under 18s physically. They are also not in under 19s squad named.

Finn McNulty (Oran's brother) played and scored 4 tries for Corinthians. He was involved in at least one training camp for the 19s last year so I'd imagine he's at least somewhere on the radar.
