Celtic Cup 19/20

[backrower8]

Turner is chunked up but still smaller than Darce. Hard to see him being able to make it all the way to senior team. Skillful, brave, but just too small.

Don’t know about that, he gets over a guy to steal the ball and his technique is right, it will be very hard to displace him legally. If anything his size could be very useful in centre

Even if he isn't big enough in the centre, his technique is so good and he's so tenacious that he can play elsewhere.

Where? Does he have winger speed or are you thinking FB?

[mildlyinterested]

he was playing wing last season for DUFC before irish 20's came around.

of course his height could be targeted on the wing.

He is sort of the same stature as Larmour. Is his speed good enough for Leinster senior squad?

Well on Saturday he certainly looked like he didn’t lack the speed required at the higher level. Truly I think he could be very good at centre for the very fact of his size. With the crackdown on high tackles turner is near on impossible to knock back as other centres would really need to get low on him. I didn’t get to see his defensive side and that’s the only thing I can’t comment on

How come it is in Wales again? They are unlikely to have a team in it.

Given the new 1 League structure of the tournament, the logical approach would be No 1 v No 2 after the 7 games with No 1 having home advantage. Assuming logic is always dangerous mind.

That's Harry reserved for senior duty so you'd imagine.

Wonder where TOB is. Seemed to impress last week and you'd hope he'd at least get in the 23 shirt over an U19 player

Well he went off at half-time so probably injured again..
