Re: Any word on the Academy?
I'd fancy Ulster to win today and potentially win well.

Far too many involved with ‘ulster’ and as you say it creates egos.nonplussed wrote:kingofthehill wrote: ↑Wed Aug 14, 2024 9:50 amWouldn’t worry about that. Only ones that are relevant are ulster u18 and u19.Big-al wrote:Ulster u16 and Ulster u17 both lost to Leinster ‘North’ u16 & u17 recently.
Disappointing.
In my humble opinion the rest is a waste of time

But the U16 and 17s are great from cultivating egos and bad attitudes
Not a fan at all. There should just be an u18 and u19.
I’m sure many will disagree.

Adam Boyd in the second row is like a square peg in a round hole—he should be playing at 8. Not convinced he will be lifted in the lineout.

Boyd didn’t look tall in the schools cup final, unless he’s had a growth spurt?

Re: Any word on the Academy?
return fixture in dublin should be interesting
Re: Any word on the Academy?
was a scrappy match, and the first half we were lucky to be in shouting distance. The scrum was particularly bad, in fact only the short range drive worked well. But the second half was much better, scrum won the match at the end there! Scrappy. But the kids worked hard for it

Great result and finally a small chink of light at the end of the tunnel when it comes to the underage setup. Is there a slight caveat to this result as Leinster had 11 in the Ireland U18's currently in S. Africas and we only had 4?? Still a great result nonetheless.

That’s last years u18 cycle. None of players in SA can play for the provincial u18 because they are too old.HammerTime wrote:Great result and finally a small chink of light at the end of the tunnel when it comes to the underage setup.
