    Excuse the ignorance, but what are the requirements to be picked? As in, from what level/age group are the players picked?

    Dont think he'll move to a senior club, family ties are too tight with thurles for that to happen id guess though barry and his older brother aidan both came on for sundays well in their AIL game against us on saturday down in cork
    EDIT aidan has been dual status with the well for the whole season and barry has played 1 or 2 games

    Don't follow it too closely but I didn't know players who've played senior rugby with dual status can drop back to junior status for the interpros.

    apparantly, as long as they have not started more than 50% of the AIL games they are still eligible.

    I was at the Munster juniors vs south east selection in Waterford City RFC today. Munster won 26-5. Wasn't a very good performance by the Juniors, they lacked imagination in attack, they kept going back and across the field to little effect. The scrum was poor enough too although the lineout went very well.

    Taking into account that this game was seen as a confidence builder for next week the coaches must be more than a little worried as they struggled to break down the defence of South-east who were made up of players mostly playing in the 3rd division of the Munster Junior league.

    The Juniors have some serious pace out wide but could never create the space for the likes of Dave Joyce and Barry Kelly to do any significant damage.

    Moment of the game had to be Waterford City veteran no.8 Lenny Power scoring for the South East selection after some good pick and drives around the fringes.

    Typical of the Leinster Branch. All other branches have announced their Junior squads but not Leinster. As defending champions and with only 6 hours to kick off I wonder why? :mad: Are they really only interested in D4 rugby.

    The garda club walked div 1 b lost one match all season no members in team or squad.

    Also in div1 A Coolmine were 4th and Skerries were 3rd surely more than 1 player from these clubs is worthy of a place in the squad.

    If they walked div1B you would think they would have 1 maybe 2 in squad but politics and where the coaches/selectors are from play a big role in picking squads like these as well as players not being interested in playing 4 or 5 games at the end of the season.
    Richmond who finished 2nd behind cashel in munster junior div 1 this season and won munster div 1 last season had no one even looked at for the squad this year

    Politics play a huge part in anys election process i guess
    i doubt many players would not want to play for there province or adopted province if you play junior rugby its achance to really test yourself.

    Have to say that Connacht were the best of the three teams that played Leinster and congratulations to them on winning their first Interprovincial Championship.
    Leinster gave them a good run with a convincing 21-3 win over Ulster today.
    There is some high quality and enjoyable rugby played in these matches and long may the format continue.
    Now Roll on Cardiff!

    Munster and Connacht lead the way after round one but the title is still between four sides heading into Saturday’s action in Kanturk and Loughrea.
    Connacht host a Leinster side looking to bounce back from a narrow loss in round one and determined to gain some revenge for last year’s loss to the westerners.
    Munster are on a high after their fine win in Edenderry and host an Ulster side reeling from a three point defeat to the men from the west last Saturday.

    i presume you mean connacht. the game was in castleisland.
    Connacht are a very strong side at junior level at the moment and junior rugby in munster isnt that strong. Cashel are the only munster side to go senior since Nenagh went up in 2005 and the standards in Leinster and Connacht have improved a lot in recent years
