He was on a development contract last season and I presume is the same next season.

Into the Leinster Academy

Caleb Montgomery probably. Came through the Youth system, Portadown club man. Left to New Zealand for a year, came back and played 20's inter pro's didn't get an academy deal so has been playing for Narbonne Espoirs (Academy) for the last two seasons and has had a bit of game time in Pro D2 off the ...

Curtis arrived in the New Year, played one game for Queen's 2's and injured his ankle.

AFAIK Adair has offers on the table for next season from two Premiership sides and one Irish province, the move to Jersey has worked out well for him given the amount of back three talent there was ahead of him at Ulster. Good to see Matty Rea back from injury, would expect him to push on and get so...

Trenier is injured as well so may have to go to sub academy loose head Anton Lupari.

Thanks for the list; I also had the following listed. Do you know what happened to them? Left the academy in the middle of last season - Jake Byrne, Prop - Exile Liam Free scrum-half – Exile Chose to leave the academy at the beginning of this season - Conor Young, Scrumhalf – RBAI Sub Academy - Ant...

Had heard McKinney was going there as player coach.

There is no comprehensive list of what constitutes discrimination. The test is whether an ‘ordinary, reasonable person with no special knowledge’ would think the advertisement discriminatory. Fine if there is an advertisement ..... I thought your issue was that there was no advertisement in the fir...

Young's job was advertised

Regarding the appointments, only time will tell but Willie at least will speak his mind and bring different ideas to the table.

All sides in 2A (Quins, Bann, Malone & QUB) are to be assigned Ulster players for next season. Queens certainly seem to be the focus for Ulster as they believe they should be similar to Trinity and UCD. Probably worth noting that all the QUB sides have failed to field a team at some stage this y...
