Youths Rugby

Which province? When? I wouldnt saying writing has been on wall for schools but its good to see gap closing. The future is clubs and schools and more integration between them and doing more to get schools players integrated into clubs and working more to keep people playing into 20s and then full adult level be that J2/3 or AIL and higher up...

Murray was as much Garryowen as Munchins. 9 who toured at some stage another on that tour. discount Aki as schooled in NZ so different. so its 8. Henshaw and Furlong from clubs backgrounds(both also played in their school but are clubs players....). Kelleher, Porter, Beirne, Henderson, Conan were schools.

u18/19 sides playing warm ups ahead of interpros. Leinsters 18s sides played Worcester and Gloucester in England yesterday. Munster 18s sch playing 19s and Connacht 18s and 19s playing Ulster in next few days

results

Clubs 18s: Leinster 36 Munster 15

Schools 18s Munster 19 Leinster 17

19s Leinster 24 Munster 19

Munster u16/18 first phase draws made

good to see nearly 50 teams in each competition for phase 1 and always is potential for extra teams to be added to phase 2 bowl if clubs feel they have enough players later on to field a second team

would have made more sense. wanted to keep all city teams together i guess...

It is lazy to an extent. Yes i will assume both clubs have an 'A' and 'B' side but the sides wont be squeezed out. they;ll still play phase 1 and have qualifiction for plate or bowl after christmas. Maybe the 2 clubs wanted it this way as well
