    Look at the start of the video during the meeting, he didn’t train but was in camp

    Yes, agreed. I viewed a different video yesterday. If 3 x SH there I wonder was it at 10 as he played u18 school at OH I think.

    Not a bad shout there very light at 10 considering Cathal Forde is back up to Crowley, a player that was behind doak for 18s last year and hasn’t broken into the corinthians rfc first team.. hopefully Crowley can stay fit, looks the real deal

    All the other countries select players that are still in school only a matter of time before we do too

    Is there any chance Alex Kendellen will be involved in this campaign? He was the standout forward in last year's under 18 side.

    any that are in school elsewhere will have proper connections to pro set ups which isnt the case here. It isnt going to happen here any time soon

    Which is probably why his up and under in his own 22 straight to the French 15 who scored wasn't a great idea.

    He played two years of schools didn't he? How often does that happen?

    He played in that u18 tournament the past 2 years. Karl Martin has done the same, the Leinster centre. He was the pick of the backs for me in last season’s tournament. I think he might well be eligible again this year too. The first year he played he had not long turned 16. Made his Leinster U18 clubs debut as a 15 year old too.

    Is it expected that Aaron Sexton will be back playing 15’s full-time next season? Shame he won’t play for the 20’s this year, although I’m sure he’ll learn a lot from his 7’s experience.

    A shame really surely 20s would be a better learning experience than development 7s, playing with some lads who aren’t even in pro environments

    I don’t think sexton would’ve been a nailed on starter anyway tbh. Smith and McIlroy are two very capable wingers from what I’ve seen of them. Could’ve added depth and healthy competition to the squad which would have been nice.

    French U20 squad out - second row Joshua Brennan (son of Trevor, brother of Dan) included and featured on the42. Jordan Joseph also included - not sure how many of the others are returning from last year but Vanvergerghe is the only other name which sounds familiar.

    Anyone know when our own squad will be named?

    The player you should watch is Matthias Haddad-Victor. He has already impressed the Senior French team Staff this week.
    He was world champion last year at 18 only

    Only a couple from St Michael's! Any real standouts?
    Each year it's hit or miss for us, either a very deep talented squad, like the 16 squad or a handful of prospects with not much depth! Last year's was good, but the injury jinx crippled us in Argentina.

    not surprising though.
    2 from Waterford is great to see. Dungarvans ahearn is real class unit.

    why focus on Michael's.....
    Of course its hit or miss each year. Its age grade rugby that will always be the case.

    Just the mass production line out of St Michael's recently. I am amazed at the quality coming out of there. That's why I was surprised.

    It's good to know the IRFU want to spread the gospel .....just not too far.....:D. The money is just resting in their account. Their business plan bangs on about inclusivity. I think they got that word wrong re t.v. coverage.
