You’ve Henry Walker and Mikey Yarr back again who were both capped this season and then Luke McLaughlin, captain of the 18’s, and Tom Stewart are other strong contenders. 3 of these are from Leinster aswell and with Smyth going into Year 1 and Gus McCarthy in Year 2 there could be a serious logjam at this position in a few years.
Luke McLaughlin could overtake them all

Pity he's not a bit bigger

McGuire is 6'5/6'6 similar to McCarthy.

If Murtagh isn't playing 9 I'd be surprised if he was in the sub academy.

Very fair point, think he'd be a good prospect at 9, few decent ones at this age group

I thought Harry Goslin was a back rower? Have Leinster been having a word again and suggested a positional switch or am I confusing him with someone else?

He played backrow for Belvo, but played prop for ireland u18 last season and is obviously viewed as a prop long term.

interested to see how they get on.. dont think they are as strong as last years side but wait and see... Charlie Bramley a notable absentee at lock or 6.. Bobby Colbert probably starts in the backs too at 13. Front row is strongest part of the side i'd say. 6-2 split notable too. Although I think Mulligan can cover centre.

Think Ulster will fancy winning today given their performance against Munster.
