heard rock throwing huge money at schoolboys, Fitzpatrick, Deegan and Rock senior cup players at 5-10 k ahead. Mad how that club operates, maybe a sign of the times. YM adding a lot of bodies, 1A looks like it will be extremely competitive. Who do people fancy for top 4? Clontarf, Con, Lansdowne, Terenure? Presume all recruiting well and spending. Anyone know how Ballynahinch are preparing? St. Mary’s ? UCD under pressure? I think Nenagh will go well

You can go higher than that. I've heard 15k per head.

Tbf Rock club has been like that for years. Bit mad how they operate at times.

Too early to be talking how clubs are preparing. Would be nice this summer if irfu could publish a list of transfers like they have in past or at least clubs provide info to club scene podcast.

Couldn't Tell you. Too early to know anything yet

Connacht Academy players staying with Connacht clubs but a few development contract players have joined YM

You would expect Nenagh to get a few Munster players now that they are in 1A

Locky247 · 11-06-2025 08:13PM

All these academy lads are all well and good but look at bucs a few years ago with all them academy lads getting up to 1B and now can only get 2 points in 2A going to 2B. It ruins clubs. So good luck to YM taking them on 👍🏻

Munsters_1A · 11-06-2025 08:27PM

Heard a rumour of Nenagh getting a few Shannon lads. Talks of Kieran Ryan heading that way could be a good signing. Great scrummager to add to the strong Nenagh Pack.

Training sessions in there will be like AA meetings “my name is _________ and I’m contracted with Connacht/Munster/ulster” ! Will be like a guessing game as to who walks in the dressing room door next !

Limerick-Kid · 12-06-2025 05:06PM

Any updates on new academy player intakes at the Provinces and which AIL clubs are getting them?

Jonny Scott, Josh Gibson & Connor Magee all moved by Ulster to Queens from Banbridge. Other 3 academy entrants were already at Queens. Dan Green and Flynn Longstaff already at Queens, Tom McAllister at Hinch. Aitzol King allocated to Armagh.

Not much movement in Ulster, Pierce Crowe and Joe Mawhinney from Ballymena to Hinch. Ronan McCusker going from Hinch back to Rainey. Callum Florence from Queens to Belfast Harlequins.

Talk that Andy Warwick, Al O’Connor and Matty Rea are all going to play for Ballymena next season.

heard Blackrock signed a few of the UCC team that lost in the playoff final. Wanderers signed Louis McDonagh from Trinity - that’s great business for a 2a club. Terenure signing Sean French and John Forde from Con supposedly, big loss for Con and massive for Terenure if the case. Belvo signed a Young Munster winger, not sure of the name.
