Was the Leinster Under 18 team last year not miles ahead of its provincial opponents?? That team included Tom Daly at centre. Would have thought that would feed through this year especially when we have usual strength at this level. What is Steve Crosbie like? The youths u18 team that included tom ...

Here's the Ireland U-18 side that won the FIRA-AER European Championships in April 2011. Lot of names not involved in the U-20 side. Rory Scholes (Campbell College); Conor McEllin (Blackrock College), Robert Henshaw (Marist College, Athlone), Chris Farrell (Campbell College), Mark Roche (Blackrock ...

Seriously though OL, have you ever known an Under-20 Ireland squad to be named this late? no. very strange and none of the 18s or 19s squads have been announced either when they are normally announced in a release around the start of december every year the only way people know about the 2 18s squa...

Leinster A Schools lost 20-18 but won 40 - 33 on aggregate. Good game but refereeing was poor. blatant crossing missed in lead up to a leinster try in 2nd half and no reffing at all of the breakdown Some excellant players on the field with several who looked more than capable of playing at a higher...

There was a thread on Munsterfans but it's all gone quiet since about half eight!

Just saw result there 1 minute ago.
Ulster won 18-9 so Ulster win the Interpro title

Big win for Leinster in the 20s today against Connacht 48-10 http://www.leinsterrugby.ie/domestic/newsroom/10349.php Leinster u19 blue team that plays Ulster tomorrow in Belvo.

Excellant report Hugo. When the irish u18 schools side meets up for its first training camp in clongowes at the end of october/start of november and play the irish youths it will be interesting as to how many from each province are there

Next saturday Leinster play 3 interpros in 3 different venues in dublin. Surely all 3 games or at least both u19 games could have been played in the one venue u19 Leinster Blue v Ulster, at Anglesea Road, 3:00 PM u19 Leinster White v Connacht, at Templeville Road, 2:30 PM u18 Clubs Leinster v Ulster...

I thought Tony Wards comments the other day re proliferation of representative underage teams was a little off the mark. Youth players would miss out in all but the odd case as they are competing with lads who are training 5/6 times a week versus 1/2. I think Leinster will benefit from this system ...

Following victories in their opening Inter Provincials last weekend both Munster Under 19 and Under 20 face Leinster this weekend in a bid to win their respective championships. The Munster Under 20 side who defeated Connacht last weekend 21-14 will field an unchanged side for their trip to Donnybr...
