That’s a very strong looking pack, lots of talent in the forwards that’s for suremildlyinterested wrote:1. Noonan

Would be interesting to see what the backs are like this year as the only player I really know in it is Andrew Smith and he can’t stop scoring tries at the moment. If we’re anywhere near as good as last years team it will be a success

Re: Ireland u20 2020
IMO we are well off last years team in terms of depth.
Big downgrades at in front line talent at 9 and depth at 10.

Anyone know what’s the story with Sam Illo at the moment?

Hopefully there'll be a few surprises like last year. There usually are a few relatively unknowns who make a name for themselves.

I always knew we were going to do well last year after looking at the squad, it was arguably the best squad we’ve ever haddropkick wrote:mildlyinterested wrote:IMO we are well off last years team in terms of depth.

Re: Ireland u20 2020
Corkery is a big unknown. If Finlay was rated in Ulster he'd be in their academy but he isn't. But yeah hopefully.dropkick wrote:mildlyinterested wrote:IMO we are well off last years team in terms of depth.

Both outhalves who played for Ireland u18 for this age group are absent, Paddy McKenzie and Dylan Prendergast.. Which is notable

Re: Ireland u20 2020
Keep an eye on the Leinster A team to play Ulster on Friday for some indications of U.20 rankings. Possibly alterations in front and back-row and half-back rankings.mildlyinterested wrote:1. Noonan

Re: Ireland u20 2020
If Corkery started the 1st game at 10 his rise will have been meteoric..

Meant to express appreciation for your run down of likely 20s squad/23 Mildly - very informative and helpful!
