Re: Academy 2017/2018
Only one interpro this year against Ulster and an away trip to England or France so no real under 20s again and sub academy smaller than usual. 2nd choice players dropping out after academy spots given to lads straight out of school and being announced pre summer rather than the end as they have no chane in getting in as choice already made.mildlyinterested wrote:makes sense.arsebiscuits1 wrote:rdsblue wrote:What has happened to David O'Connor?

I assume you mean sub academy spots? Can you give an example of which players are dropping out?
TBH the 2nd choice lads are probably better off just focusing on their club rugby given the state of things.

No Munster or Connacht 20s from what I have heard and no game scheduled with them props and half backs amongst others I heard left after been in camp initiallymildlyinterested wrote:What about Munster?Armchair wrote:

Disappointing, don't see why Kenny/Patterson wouldn't be given sub academy places if that's what you are saying happened.Armchair wrote:

Both are very good prospects at 9.

Is Paul Boyle being in the Connacht academy confirmed? Makes sense, I hope we at least make a play for David McCarthy as well.mildlyinterested wrote:I think there a are 6 ex-leinster underage club players in irish academies, plus 1 in an english one.

Yeah I know, just thought maybe the reassurance of having a guaranteed contract could be a factor. He looks tidy alright, thought he was one of the most impressive performers in the World Cup.mildlyinterested wrote:He was u19 this season, very much in view for a full academy place next summer.scentofgunpowder wrote:
