Guess something like this:

Tom Clarkson(TH Prop) - u19
John McKee(Hooker) - u19
Charlie Ryan(Lock) - u20
Martin Moloney(Backrow) - u20
Anthony Ryan(Backrow) - u19
Cormac Foley(Scrumhalf)
Luis Faria(Centre) - u19
Liam Turner(Centre-Wing) - u20

Clarkson, Ryan, Moloney & Turner look certain, Foley/McKee have a good shot and the other 2 are just speculation.

Agreed. It's a real come and get me for any of the provinces to take a chance on him. Also he ticks all the boxes for Munster to sign him.

Ex-Leinster player.

That is all.
