World Cup year so extra chances early on. Ryan and Toner won’t be available, Nagle is gone. Kearney might be injured.mildlyinterested wrote:weirdly forgot about him..

Molony and Fardy (if he stays). But you still need subs. Even if Fardy stays it won’t be for many years, the intake won’t clash with current depth so should be done purely on merit.
3 years time will see Ryan, Molony and an aging Toner plus whoever makes it out of the academy. Maybe Kearney too. There’s room for competition.

Cummiskey saying Ronan Kelleher may join senior squad next season, which wouldn't be a huge surprise. Somewhat surprised he didn't make his debut over Christmas, but has been unlucky with the general health of the hookers ahead of him.

19 players from 7 rugby feeder schools and 13 from just two schools. Great...as long as they keep on producing the talent. A risk if the supply chain is damaged for any reason.
Very notable to anyone aged over 30 that there is not one player from Terenure...but sure they don't have anyone on Leinster's senior books for years now. Fact is that the Carmelites took a decision years ago to rebalance the school's offering with dialling rugby down a big element in that process. Prediction: they won't be the last to turn the talent taps off. The worry remains that a few may feel/be forced to do so at the same time unless the game becomes a lot safer very quickly.

This forum discusses all manner of issues as 'Leinster Addicts' but this issue, which with just one more bad injury could turn Leinster upside down at any time, doesn't get any debate.

Re: Academy 2018/2019
Really? The article below published on Wales Online last September, cited 12 rugby deaths since 2011 (that they had identified, but believed there were others they hadn't). Since then there have been two more rugby deaths (both in France), taking it to 14 deaths in 8 years. Rugby is clearly not safe enough and arguably dangerous.the spoofer wrote:Rugby is far safer than it was. It's not a dangerous sport.

Re: Academy 2018/2019
1.5 deaths per year is too many but is a tiny number as a percentage of games played per year. I coached underage for numerous years and believe me when I say the number of injuries is very small and the number of serious injuries negligible. Concussions do occur but are not that frequent at underage levels and awareness is huge of both the injury itself and the protocols. The game is safe especially below pro level and headlines don't change that.backrower8 wrote:Really?
