    Will u20 match v France be cancelled?

    U18 6 nations tournament in Paris in April?

    Surely these could be played behind closed doors?

    They're still awaiting confirmation on the women's and U20 games.

    There seems to be little to no appetite from the unions to play any games behind closed doors at any level bar the Italians originally. I wouldn't be surprised if they are called off though.

    Disappointing, but unsurprising. I’m not sure who this would apply to in the Ireland squad, but I feel for any guys who were depending on making an impression to grab an academy place.

    Munster, Ulster and Connacht should really look at some of the players not being offered an spot in Leinster's academy.

    O'Reilly might be a good fit at Munster. Corkery is a promising young outhalf and might benefit more, say in Ulster's academy. The same with McCarthy in the second row.

    Corkery & McCarthy will still be involved with leinster next season. If they don't get full academy places next season they'll be in the sub academy.. Both are in college in dublin and u20 next season. Corkery isnt 19 until December IIRC.

    Rumoured McCarthy may get a full academy offer next session wait and see.

    O'Reilly could well look at another province with Connacht being the most obvious, but wouldnt surprise me to see him go in the direction of 7's.

    Thought McCarthy looked brutish at times and played very well for a u19. Leinster already have quite a few young 2nd rows, but I think there's a good chance McCarty could end up better than a couple and I wouldn't think they would want to lose him easily.

    Leinster might have a bit of a log-jam in the back three very soon. Smith looks nailed on for an academy place and there are at least three very good wingers/fullbacks at u19 level who are more than good enough for an academy place somewhere. Then there's Turner, O'Sullivan and Sylvester already in the set up.

    Agree on McCarthy, which is why he could join leinster academy officially next season.

    I dunno about log-jam in the back three, Silvester/O'Sullivan are going into year 3 of the academy and haven't really shown much to date, need to make an impression on their return to the setup. Turner looks to be viewed as more a 13 at the moment.

    I'd consider there to be two standout back three players at u19 level at the moment from a leinster point of view and both are at least a year away physically from being ready for pro rugby in my eyes.

    Right now if you had to pick a back three from leinster academy players and underage prospects, you'd have to choose Smith and the two U19 prospects over a back three of Silvester, O'Sullivan and Turner IMO.

    Also given leinsters somewhat spotty record in developing top tier back three players, Larmour excluded, it's cant be assumed Smith or the U19 players will reach their potential.

    I get the attraction of staying in Leinster, with college etc and I accept both Corkery and McCarthy are young. Leaving aside club loyalties, wouldn't it be beneficial if say Ulster approached both and offered them s full time academy place and a clear path to game and untimately a faster path to a professional contract. Let's be honest, Leinster are stacked at outhalf and second row.
    Curiosity, who are the two standout U19 back three? I feel its a position Leinter and Munster could add a little more depth.

    The attraction of playing for your home province is huge, Ulster can offer the chance at potentially progressing faster but theres no guarantee. I just don't see it being appealing enough to leave their current situation with leinster etc.

    Plus any offer from Ulster would likely result in both of them getting academy offers from Leinster and again your can't just write off that these players grew up wanting to play for Leinster, not Ulster.

    Wouldn't be the first time Leinster underage players were approached and wouldn't be the last. Can't think of many who took the risk of leaving when staying with Leinster was still an option.

    Cosgrave and Osborne and both are Leinster bound.

    Munster have their own back three players coming through.

    Thanks, who do you think are the likely standouts which positions do you think there might be the most competition in?

    And is Soroka seen as a 2nd row long-term for Leinster?

    very strong competition in backrow.. good competition in the centre aswell too.

    good depth at hooker and 9.

    concerns about competition at prop and depth at lock.

    On soroka, I think leinster are looking at him as a blindside long term, very highly rated in leinster.


  • #419

    With the prevalence of young locks in Leinster (Ryan x 2, Baird, Dunne), I can see Soroka playing blindside at senior level. He's quite light for someone of his height currently. No doubt he'll put on 8-10kg if he goes through a full academy cycle but I don't see him ever being a 115kg lock whilst guys like Charlie Ryan (108kg after 1 year in academy) and Jack Dunne (112kg after 2 years in the academy) are likely to be those types of guys.

    I can see him competing for the likes of Josh Murphy (who is taller, according to stats on Leinster/Irish rugby profiles) to be the line out option in the backrow, mirroring the likes of Kevin McLaughlin which would be no poor result for him.


  • #420

    Closed Accounts Posts: 490 ✭✭Scottmactom


    Yeah Soroka could easily start at 6 in this team.. if some other locks emerge.. but due to the large number of quality backrowers, I'd see him probably playing at 4.

    Very strong pack again. Have very high hopes for Boyle, Stewart, McCarthy and Kendellan.

    What do you think swings the 13 shirt in Kiely’s favour over O’Riordan?

    its a toss up, Kiely has more physical presence. Could go either way though.

    Shane Jennings could feature there too.

    The Ireland Under-20 team may get an opportunity to try and close out a second successive Grand Slam in October. Unbeaten after three matches, games against Italy (home) and France (away) were postponed due to the Coronavirus pandemic but talks are ongoing to complete the tournament.

    Irish 20s coach Noel McNamara explained: “We are still hopeful that the games will be replayed and there are tentative talks of that happening towards the end of October. Once that is confirmed it would be great to get the group back together.

    “It would definitely be very exciting for that group of players to come back and get an opportunity to play together again and to represent Ireland at that level. That is a little bit off in the distance.”
