Thanks for that. Seriously light looking in the backrow.

High number of very young backrowers in the senior squad: Josh Murphy [23], Will Connors [22], Max Deegan [21], Caelan Doris [20]. Connors, Deegan and Doris all promoted early.CiaranIrl wrote:Thanks for that. Seriously light looking in the backrow.
Re: Academy 2018/2019
Yeah, that's true. I guess it jumps out at you that there's only one academy backrow, but you're right.hugonaut wrote:High number of very young backrowers in the senior squad: Josh Murphy [23], Will Connors [22], Max Deegan [21], Caelan Doris [20].

Re: Academy 2018/2019

Re: Academy 2018/2019
Nothing new there.. expect 3rd and 2nd years to be given every chance to step up, although some 2nd years may be absent to jWCronk wrote:Might be a few call ups from the academy for the early season.
Re: Academy 2018/2019
Last year would have seen a bigger contingent due to Lions. This time around there are key players who weren't touring so a fair few positions have experience. Outhalf being the outlier.mildlyinterested wrote:Nothing new there.. expect 3rd and 2nd years to be given every chance to step up, although some 2nd years may be absent to jWCronk wrote:Might be a few call ups from the academy for the early season.
I can see Kelleher too.

David Hawkshaw is the most notable absentee from the academy IMO.

Re: Academy 2018/2019
some rumours going around that Scott Penny may convert to hooker, i'm skeptical.
Jimmy O'Brien and Hugo Keenan part of 7's side who came 9th and won the challenge trophy, O'Brien got a try in the final.
Hard to know how either will filter back into leinster..
