Re: Conference League

Those changes make sense, who are the senior teams involved in the conference league then?

Re: Saints Academy v Ulster

It is really good to see our U18's and 19's going and playing their equivalent in England, Leinster played Leicester for a few years until Leciester started to try and sign players for their own academy from Leinster. I know last year Leinster U20's went and played the Tolouse academy side.

Re: Allen Clarke Returns to Ulster

Will be interesting to see where Kieran Campbell will end up in this set up as it has been said he is now to take up a part time role within Ulster Rugby.

I expect Niall Malone will get the performance analyst/skills coach job.

Re: Allen Clarke Returns to Ulster

I would imagine Clarke is in charge. Longwell would report to him, then McGlocks, Malone and the person to be appointed report to Longwell.

Re: Allen Clarke Returns to Ulster

I thought Longwell was High Performance manager or is he just to oversee the senior academy and Clarke is oversee all development from senior academy down to the regional under 16 squads?

JJ Hanrahan is one of 3 players nominated for player of the tournament, he is the first Irish player to be nominated since it changed from u21 to u20. Heaslip was nominated when it was still an u21 tournament, possibly Kaino won it that year. Given that George Ford won this award last year and Savea...
