Interesting that virtually all the u19 guys in the A squads are from a clubs(youths) background.

The reasons are pretty obvious for that no? The vast majority if not all of the schools players would do TY so the likelihood of a schools player being out of school at u19 is far lower than a clubs player.

Plenty youths do ty as well and plenty who do transition year leave school as under 18s. The chances of schools players being out of school at 19s are not at all far lower than clubs.

Good for you. What about addressing the point?

Has there been any more of an update on Georgia joining the tournament?

No point with you, you'll never admit you're wrong no matter how much evidence you're shown so I'll save my energy.



Anyone know why TCD vs UCD is being played this weekend as opposed to last with everyone else?

Conroy Cup(under 20 intervarsities) was last weekend so they would both have been playing in that is probably the reason

Not sure on Jake, who is also a prospect for Tipp GAA.

Billy is the youngest brother to Rory and Niall.

Josh Wycherley is Fineen's younger brother.

irishfan9

James McCarthy(Back Three/Munster)
Kieran Dunne(Centre/Munster)

irishfan9

Any sign of Patrick Patterson(UCD) or James Kenny(Lansdowne) playing rugby yet?

Any Connacht lads at all this year? Masterson Corey Reid ?

Masterson dealing with injury, Reid too I think.

They are the two most likely to be involved.

Any others? Diarmuid codyre good enough? Huxford and Niall Murray too young or are they that age now? Hugh lane?

Codyre probably behind a few too many players.

Huxford and Murray are u19, barring injury don't see them being involved.

Lane still in school I think so.

Reid tore his acl for second time in last 2 years

Codyre is a 6th choice 10 for Irish 19s , struggled big time in defense and is rumored to be getting moved to 15 this year .. Murray still in school he was told he would have been involved with 20s had he have been in 3rd level , huxford in Irish 19s training squad as is lane and Murray

Codyre is a handy 15 seen him a few times there. Rory gaffney would be too old for this years 20s?

That's brutal for the lad

MDunne14

Yeah 15 plays to his strengths , good feet , kicking game and distribution.no gaffney is u20 this year but wouldn’t have the pace for an international 9 and this age group has 3/4 serious 9s

So we're not going at too many Connacht players being involved again

Nope, not sure why you'd think there would be.

Gaffney might make academy, but won't come near ireland u20.
