no, I assume it will be this summers u18 side, but I wouldn't expect any coverage of it.

[rdsblue]

Mildly,

Where are those leaving & rumoured to be leaving going, do you have any idea?

[mildlyinterested]

Loughman - Munster
Heffernan - ?
McNulty - ?
Murphy - Leinster
Rock - Leinster
Fitzpatrick - ?

Vakh - Leinster
Doris - Leinster
Connors - Connacht or Leinster
Frawley - Leinster
Larmour - Leinster

McNulty and Fitzpatrick will probably have some continued Sevens involvement. I would say Heffernan is done as a pro player.

It's a different McNulty that plays 7s

I could see Sean going the 7's route.

nope, never had a realistic chance at one at leinster given talent at position in system.

UCD u20 defeated Terenure in the McCorry Cup final 20-14.

[Ruckedtobits]

UCD u20 defeated Terenure in the McCorry Cup final 20-14.

And a good contest it was. Schoolboy full-back Adam Le Gru (?) of Terenure looks like one to follow. Lovely footballer, real pace and balance and good off-loader. Some of his play had us talking about a schoolboy named Dempsey. Girv the Swerve's successor has landed.

Adam La Grue. High praise indeed, should play leinster 20s but doubt he will get further than that.

Supposedly Michael Milne (Prop/Roscrea) is Connacht Academy for next year.
