Youths Rugby

It wasn't leinster youths team but a wider selection of 18s and 19s from clubs and they won 22-7

Possibly but a provincial wide squad training regularly together should be able to beat a lot of school sides and any win shouldn't be seen as a big deal

It's no big deal. All the players are youths players in that provincial team. That's the point of team. It shouldn't be made out as something very big. It really isn't a big deal.

Shame the provinces can't highlight youths competitions more on their websites and social media. Or at least give papers a few articles and squad lists to add a few pages to the school supplements. Could create bit more interest in the competitions

Many of the players especially those in provincial squads or squads like those do get the same amount of training as players in the top schools between their own club, if their school plays and provincial squads. Including for some players early morning gym sessions and lot more besides.

It shouldn't be seen as anything major if a provincial youths team is beating a school senior team.

Well I put it as not a big deal as you have on a few occasions here when provincial youths sides beat schools sides say wow or that's huge when it isn't any more.

Of course it will be easier in a school but with the new training centres for provinces coming in/planned then it will be easier for club players to do what schools players are doing and they will be doing it under eye of provincial coaches...

How many u18/u19 reps do they have?

Cups in munster at 16s and 18s are at quarter finals. Few more games to be played in plate and bowl before knock outs.

Any info on other provinces
