Re: Academy 2017/2018
Definitely one who 'got away' from my perspective. Can we suggest a trade for Delahunt, with a few bob to balance their earlier investment?mildlyinterested wrote:yeah thats been a rumour for awhile, only offered aub academy by leinster.sunshiner1 wrote:Supposedly Michael Milne (Prop/Roscrea) is Connacht Academy for next year.

Re: Academy 2017/2018
thats the rumour anyway.. milne going west certainly could be viewed as one that got away.. but clarkson at u18 level is as good if not better prospect at TH prop combined with Aungier... so its not really a position in need of talent, plus as a roscrea player it would almost a surprise if he chose leinster over connachtRuckedtobits wrote:Definitely one who 'got away' from my perspective.

Re: Academy 2017/2018
I'm lead to believe that leinster will have at least 5 u19 players joining the full academy straight from school this summer:
Prop Michael Milne(Birr RFC/Roscrea)
Lock Ryan Baird(St. Michaels College)]
Openside Scott Penny(St. Michaels College)
Outhalf/Centre David Hawkshaw(Belvedere College)
Outside Back Liam Turner(Blackrock College)
Along with these 4 who are out of school:
Lock Jack Dunne(DUFC/St. Michaels College)
Scrumhalf Paddy Patterson(UCD/Blackrock College)
Outhalf Harry Byrne(UCD/St. Michaels College)
Back Three Michael Silvester(DUFC/Clongowes Wood College)
Prop Michael Milne(Birr RFC/Roscrea)
Lock Ryan Baird(St. Michaels College)]
Openside Scott Penny(St. Michaels College)
Outhalf/Centre David Hawkshaw(Belvedere College)
Outside Back Liam Turner(Blackrock College)
Along with these 4 who are out of school:
Lock Jack Dunne(DUFC/St. Michaels College)
Scrumhalf Paddy Patterson(UCD/Blackrock College)
Outhalf Harry Byrne(UCD/St. Michaels College)

Re: Academy 2017/2018
I'd imagine that Leinster offered him a sub-academy deal and Connacht offered him an academy place. He told Connacht yes and then Leinster realizing that they were going to lose him upped their offer to a full academy place.by mildlyinterested

Looks to have passed on Jordan Duggan, who is the current irish u20 LH and offered Milne a place ahead of him.

Re: Academy 2017/2018
Would appear these academy players are off:
Jeremy Loughman(LH Prop) -> Munster
Oisin Heffernan(TH Prop) -> Nottingham
Sean McNutly(Hooker)
Charlie Rock(Scrumhalf)
Ian Fitzpatrick(Wing)
With possibly Will Connors(Openside) moving to Connacht too.

Re: Academy 2017/2018
Fitzpatrick, Keenan and Kennedy named in Irish 7's squad today, Connors/O'Brien not.
I wonder if that means they are out of academy and will focus on 7's. Rumour Kennedy was going that way, wasn't sure about Keenan.
