True but worth reminding folk as many have Shan down as our number two scrum half.
He regularly got outplayed by opposition 9's in AIL and Ulster league matches last season

You can't read a whole lot into U20s performances. It's a lower level intensity, speed and power.

typical u20 fare .

Irish scrum half 1st half very slow deliberate and telegraphed every kick .

rest of the backline looked like u13 who had never played together - passes to ground passes behind players went backwards more often then forward in possession .

That said it was a gutsy performance against a physically bigger French team

It's age grade rugby so you take it at face value. The games tend to lose structure at times but I think it's reflective of teams that are constantly changing in personnell and have limited time together. The NZ sides are usually well drilled though and any kind of result against them is well earned.

South African THP needs to have a word for himself for a young lad. He's in worse shape than Rodney.

The next backrow from the Leinster conveyer belt powers over for a try. Captain Caelan Doris.

He should move to Ulster to get game time.
