Surprised they haven’t found someone called Hugo from one of the other Leinster schools though.

Pointless being named when all the schools cup finalists aren’t involved.

I got invited to an Irish Schools camp at Blackrock once upon a time while all the big hitters were at the business end of their respective Schools Cups' campaigns. . . . Didn't get invited back after that weekend for some strange reason :lol:

Could be a long evening for Jacob Boyd. The fewer scrums the better for him and the rest of the Ireland set-up.

Bell is a step down again. Both U20 so plenty of time, but England will defo target TH. Sheahan's not a great scrummager either but I like the big LH.

Jack Murphy is a wonderful footballer. Get him up to Ulster so we can ruin him. No other province should be allowed a talent that good.
I have my own tv channel, what have you got?

Ref is a total homer. Ireland the better side but England with the bosh as usual.

Think I owe Jacob an apology. Mostly held his own in the scrum against a much vaunted opponent.

Boyd has played mostly at loosehead. He done well though, but needs to concentrate on one position from Here on in.

Irish scrum got caught at first scrum with a huge shift through our tight head. We sorted that out after that and Boyd did well to gain two penalties that led to Irish trys. Not the finished article but has only played 5 games of adult rugby At Queens v Asher playing in 10 games in premiership and Europe for sale including La Rochelle.

I know it’s early days but has anyone heard much about next seasons academy squad?
Who’s getting promoted?
Who are the potential new entrants?

My guess:
Promotions:
Mcnabney
Wilson
Mcloughlin
Hopes

New entrants:
Ward
Logan
Scott
Mckillop
Ellerby
Can see a Leinster player coming up north
