So Ichi on wing while still in school.. interesting. He looks so good at schoolboy level. will be interesting to see how he handles the step up in grades.

Good to see so many from Nenagh, Ennis, Thurles, Cashel, Clonmel, Kilfeacle, Bruff etc and not just the cities.

Agree..a good few U19’s on bench this I feel is due to recent PCR Covid non starters. Still good experience for them to get a run. I wonder if there are many chances on Irish side tomorrow. Pa Campbell will more than likely feature at 15, Charlie Tector Will probably start 10. Leaves Coughlan, Devine at 9? He will surely mix it up a bit from Italy line up. Few of the Leinster lads didn’t get a run out against Italy with Last minute Covid.

There is a 17 day Covid return to play protocol, anybody who missed Italy due to covid will still be missing.

I believe some of the Under 19’s have been called in to bolster the numbers. Should be a good game.

Anyone at game? Seems to of been very close. Any stand out players for U20’s on either side?

Daniel Hawkshaw, Fionn Gibbons, Rueben Crothers.

How did U20’s on the Munster side play?

Lsdrugbyfan

LH Prop

• Jack Boyle(Leinster)
• Ben Popplewell(Leinster) - 1 start
• Oisin Michel(Leinster) - 1 start
• Kieran Ryan(Munster)
• Joe Mawhinney(Ulster)

Boyle has been absent so far but when he returns it's a safe assumption he will be starting at 1. So far Popplewell looks most likely to be primary backup loosehead.

Hooker

• James McCormick(Ulster)
• Dylan Murphy(Munster) - 1 start
• Josh Hanlon(Ulster/U19) - 1 start
• Howard Noonan(Leinster)

McCormick has been absent so far, if he returns for the 6 nations he will likely be starting at hooker. Hard to call between Hanlon and Murphy at the moment.

TH Prop

• Rory McGuire(Leinster) - 2 starts
• Darragh McSweeney(Munster)
• Scott Wilson(Ulster/U19)
• JJ Hession(Leinster)

McGuire looks certain to be 1st choice at tighthead, hard to call who will be his primary backup.

Lock

• Mark Morrissey(Leinster) - 2 starts
• Conor O’Tighearnaigh(Leinster) - 1 start*
• Fionn McWey(Leinster)
• Paul Deeny(Leinster)
• Edwin Edogbo(Munster) - injured

Morrissey and O’Tighearnaigh have been named to start both games, with covid only preventing that from happening, Edogbo is expected to miss 6 nations due to injury. No sign of Charlie Irvine or Adam McNamee so far which is surprising.

Backrow

• Rueben Crothers(Ulster) - 2 starts
• James McNabey(Ulster/U19) - 1 start
• Lorcan McLoughlin(Ulster) - 1 start
• James Culhane(Leinster) - 1 start*
• Conor Moloney(Munster) - 2 starts

Crothers looks set to captain side from 7, Moloney probably looks set to be 1st choice 6, who starts at 8 is difficult to call at the moment between Culhane, McLoughlin and McNabey.

Scrumhalf

• Ethan Coughlan(Munster) - 2 starts
• Matthew Devine(Connacht)
• Michael Moloney(Leinster)
• Adam Maher(Munster)

It looks most likely between Coughlan and Devine for the starting 9 spot at the moment.

Outhalf

• Charlie Tector(Leinster) - 1 start*
• Tony Butler(Munster) - 1 start

The 10 jersey looks set to be a battle between these two players.

Centre

• Ben Brownlee(Leinster) *
• Fionn Gibbons(Leinster) - 2 starts
• Daniel Hawkshaw(Leinster) - 1 start
• Darragh French(Munster) - 1 start
• Ross Taylor(Ulster/U19)
• Ben Carson(Ulster) - injured

Gibbons has started both games at 13, while Brownlee and Hawkshaw were named to with French starting ahead of Brownlee due to covid. Carson is injured, it's unclear if he will return for the 6 nations.

Outside Backs

• Patrick Campbell(Munster) - 1 start
• Chay Mullins(Bristol) - 2 starts
• Aitzol King(Leinster) - 1 start
• Dylan O'Grady(Leinster) - 1 start
• Callum O'Reilly(Leinster) - 1 start
• Jude Postlethwaite(Ulster)

Patrick Campbell looks clearly 1st choice at 15, with Mullins and King on the wings. If Postlethwaite plays 20s this year looks unclear due to 7's.

Possible starting side for 6 nations:

1. Jack Boyle(Leinster)

2. James McCormick(Ulster)

3. Rory McGuire(Leinster)

4. Mark Morrissey(Leinster)

5. Conor O’Tighearnaigh(Leinster)

6. Conor Moloney(Munster)

7. Rueben Crothers(Ulster)

8. James Culhane(Leinster)

9. Ethan Coughlan(Munster)

10. Charlie Tector(Leinster)

11. Aitzol King(Leinster)

12. Daniel Hawkshaw(Leinster)

13. Fionn Gibbons(Leinster)

14. Chay Mullins(Bristol)

15. Patrick Campbell(Munster)

Tight five is always my biggest concern at this grade. Morrisey looked very undersized last year, hopefully he's grown out since. How does CO'T stack up size-wise?

UCD or Donnybrook probably. We dont know if open to public

Lost Ormond

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118413470#Comment_118413470

It might be named or we could be waiting until the week before first game for final squad to be named ahead of opening game and they def have a few more camps ahead of the first game
