Re: Pre-Season 2018/19
Depends on how natural a fullback Frawley is. Once he’s on the bench, he can be used as sub fullback, say by moving Larmour to the wing.
Re: Pre-Season 2018/19
I just noticed that we’re apparently scheduled to play another pre season friendly against Coventry on the 18th of August in Donnybrook, which is the day after the previous game against Newcastle. It is supposed to be ‘Leinster development’ which is Leinster A who will be playing. I don’t see how that would work though, and it hasn’t been announced by Leinster themselves. Does anyone know anything about this?

Re: Pre-Season 2018/19
Leinster development was the name of the u20 side last summer.
Re: Pre-Season 2018/19
Oh that would make more sense. They referred to Leinster development as the team that lost in the final of the B&I Cup last year, so I presumed they were talking about a Leinster A side. But it could have been an error. Thanks for the clarification anyway mildly.mildlyinterested wrote:Leinster development was the name of the u20 side last summer.

Re: Pre-Season 2018/19
So no sign of another Friendly on the weekend of the 25th of August? We would normally play 2 at home with the 2nd one the week before the start of the season.

Re: Pre-Season 2018/19
I'd certainly want another game for Frawley to play in anyway.

Isn't that the weekend a certain Rome based Argentinian who wears long flowing white robes visits Dublin?johng wrote:So no sign of another Friendly on the weekend of the 25th of August? We would normally play 2 at home with the 2nd one the week before the start of the season
The Gardaí may have requested it be kept free as there's quite a bit going on that weekend, particularly in D4.
Any friendly that weekend might be better off played away.

Harry Byrne training with senior squad as opposed to u20's, unlike Baird, Milne and Penny. unsurprising due to lack of depth at position.

Re: Pre-Season 2018/19
So there will be nothing the weekend of the 25th? Seems very strange.
