Re: Any word on the Academy?
The good news, both Moore and McCann looked great for the u20s in their win over England with 1 and 2 tries respectively. The bad news, Allison picked up a knee injur early in the game, the severity of which is unclear.
Re: Any word on the Academy?
Do we have a list of next season's likely Academy?
From the rolling glens of Antrim through the hills of Donegal we will stand and shout for Ulster as we win both scrum and maul from the lovely lakes of Fermanagh tae the shores of ould Lough Gall we will scream and shout for Ulster as we beat them one and all!

Re: Any word on the Academy?
Reid seems possible. Who's the other Sexton? Tom Stewart do you mean? Other candidates, Oscar Egan, George Saunderson, Matthew Sands, can't remember whether Doak is out of school next season or not.kingofthehill wrote:Sexton x2Setanta wrote:Do we have a list of next season's likely Academy?

Re: Any word on the Academy?
Turns out it wasn't Allison's knee but rather his head, so yeah he's following return to play protocols now.

Re: Any word on the Academy?
If he was concussed, he probably didn't know which way was up, hence them treating at the other end first.therealspratt wrote:Turns out it wasn't Allison's knee but rather his head, ....

Finlay is playing Hinch 2s behind ROD so I would like to think he’s nowhere near it.Bayern wrote:No Ethan McIlroy, Lewis Finlay, Conor McMenamin or Ben Power?

Mcilroy not getting it ahead of Rankin is a laugh.
Power is not at that level IMO.

Re: Any word on the Academy?
McIlroy not getting it in front of Rankin; please tell me this is because he is heading off to Uni and nothing to do with previous events? Have the Free Presbyterians/LGBT still too much influence?

I'm assuming but could be wrong that there's the suspicion he's being tarred by the same brush and suspicion UR don't want the publicity associated with Blayne?
Even though McIlroy the younger has done nothing wrong himself.
