Good to see the U20s win their last two games although they looked really poorly coached.

Ronan Kelleher looks a very promising prospect at hooker.

Yeah, needs to tidy up his throwing but looks decent. His throw is too flat.

Considering he is an U19, he is a player to keep an eye on.

July/August usually

It was rumoured to be:

Ronan Kelleher(Hooker)
Jack Aungier(TH Prop)
Oisin Dowling(Second Row)
Caelan Doris(Backrow)
Hugh O'Sullivan(Scrumhalf)
Tommy O'Brien(Centre/Wing)
Gavin Mullin(Centre)
Jack Kelly(Centre/Wing/Fullback) - joined academy mid season
Jordan Larmour(Back Three) - joined academy mid season

I'll be interested to see if they offer either Frawley or Dean a place after the JWC.

I think Dean will get in. He looks to have the potential to be a good 10.

Academy announed.

Year One:

Jack Aungier
Oisín Dowling
Caelan Doris
Ciaran Frawley
Ronan Kelleher
Gavin Mullin
Tommy O’Brien
Hugh O’Sullivan

O'Connor and Power gone.

Deegan to senior.

Not entirely sure where Deegan and Timmins fit in to future Leinster plans

I suspect other clubs were sniffing about Deegan given he wasn't given a senior contract initially
He's gotten awfully fond of that brick
