    Happy to see Kyle Dixon involved. Very impressive in the LSSC.

    Also, I think that's meant to be Matthew Bursey in the Backrow.

    yeah 6th year, missed senior up with knee injury. Involved with Leinster under-19.
    A Leinster under-19 team that could have more club starters than schools.

    Pretty talented but very small.

    Hard to say that yet. Would wait to see interpros before making any judgement like that

    Is playing with Connacht. I cant edit my OP now but Connacht and Munster will play each other as a warm up to the Interpros and Connacht are also due to play one of the Connacht AIL sides - 1 of wegians/Corinthians/Buccs

    He might be involved. Playing the 7s doesn't mean that he should automatically be in with 20s

    Because Ulster generally don't name intake until very late if at all.

    The Ulster Academy only exists in the cloud. Information about it can only be gleaned by two methods. 1) Accidental discoveries - like the discovery of penicillin and 2 ) By using GCHQ at Cheltenham to hack into Ulster servers.

    According to Ulster's twitter feed, there u20's beat a London Irish Academy side 16-7 today, following up a 48-0 win vs the actual exiles side. Tries from Peter Cooper and Johnny Rosborough and 2 pen's from Johnny McPhillips. Just going to copy and past what i wrote over in the UAFC forum now. f i am not mistaken this may well be another exile. Played for England u18's last season and went to the famed Sedbergh School (also a part of Newcastle Falcons jnr acad). Although i could be wrong, there could easily be a ulsterman called Johnny McPhillips, if anyone knows feel free to correct.
    Funnily enough Ulster's that takes Ulsters reported academy to around 1/3 English born.
    Lorcan Dow - Whitgift School, Croydon
    Frankie Taggart - Whitgift School, Croyden
    Sam Arnold - Cranleigh School, Surrey
    Sean O Hagan (reportedly left the academy though) - St Benedicts, Ealing
    Jake Byrne (all but confirmed) - Warwick School, Warwickshire
    Alex Kane (definitely player for the u20's unsure whether in acad or subacad) - Wimbledon College, Wimbledon
    Then this Johnny McPhillips who may or may not be an exile. - Sedbergh School, Cumbria

    I see the Leinster 19s were also in action during the week against Worcester and their starting pack contained 5 clubs players, good to see.

    Leinster dominated this age groups u18 pack when they lost to England in the final , are their any other players from other provinces that could squeeze in perhaps Trayers , and I've also heard good things about Kelvin Browne

    Leinster u20 40 - 7 Connacht u20
    Ulster u20 17 - 18 Munster u20

    also Leinster u19 scored a ridiculous 91 points unanswered against Connacht u19s. Yep, 91-0.
