They sure aren't afraid to promote lads. Penny would normally only be joining the academy this year.

Jack Kelly the only 3rd year academy player not promoted, given he is playing 7's I wonder if that's where he is headed.

Jack Kelly the only 3rd year academy player not promoted, given he is playing 7's I wonder if that's where he is headed.

Had you mentioned earlier in the season that you had heard one of our back 3 were going to be concentrating on 7's going forward and the presumption on here was that it was either Adam Byrne who was totally out of the picture at that point or Hugo Keenan given his previous 7's experience. So maybe the intel was right just our guessing of the player was wrong?

Apologies if it was another poster.

Keenan, Silvester & Kelly had all been focusing on 7's since the turn of the year.

We have to promote more to cover provincial attrition. 7 senior squad players confirmed leaving. 1 signing.

All the lads have shown enough at senior level to have earned contracts.

Looks like Brian Deeny will miss JWC due to injury.

Looks like Brian Deeny will miss JWC due to injury.

Very unlucky if that happens. A good player with an excellent skillset and good game appreciation.

at least he is eligible again next season.

Leinster U19 interpro against Munster is set for August 26th.

So looks like 19 interpros moving to August much like 18 did last year, unsure of venue.

watched 1st half of both games where leinster were dominant..

Jimmy O'Brien, Jack Kelly, Paddy Patterson were excellent in the backs, Ryan Baird, Jack Aungier and Ronan Kelleher stoodout in the forwards.
