Leinster Academy 2021-22

[LeinsterLeader]

Leinster Dev defeated Ireland u20 24-21.

I don't know how to feel about that

Sounds like a decent game though!

[Donnybrook1]

Leinster Academy Intake for next year ?

Rory Mcguire - Prop
Mark Morrissey - Second Row
Diarmuid Mangan - Backrow
James Culhane - Backrow
Ben Brownlee - Centre
Fionn Gibbons - Centre
Daniel Hawkshaw - Centre
Aitzol King - Winger
Dylan O Grady - Full Back

Cant see there being that many, but wait and see, how the irish 20's go.

These are the most likely to be picked . Not all guaranteed too large of a group to all go in

Any up-date on that young Ozzie prop who came over to train with Leinster? Burnett I think? How's he doing?

Temi wearing the No18 on his training pullover her: https://www.sportsfile.com/id/2139789/

I think Mildly mentioned previously that he might be switching across to tighthead. Possibly more evidence?

Yeah he said he switched over in a interview I read a few weeks back.

Leinster going to have the 1st choice tighthead for the 20s too in Rory McGuire so should be interesting what happens there.

Leinster Rugby Academy – Year Three 2021/22:
Brian Deeny
Cormac Foley (1 cap)
Martin Moloney (1 cap)
Charlie Ryan
Liam Turner (6 caps)
--
Both Deeny and Ryan have had huge injury issues, as has Moloney, hard to know what happens there. Foley seems to be going well for Lansdowne this year but will that earn him a contract? Turner is decent player but looks unlikely to get a pro deal from leinster.

Leinster Rugby Academy – Year Two 2021/22:
Niall Comerford
Marcus Hanan (2 caps)
Joe McCarthy
John McKee
Jamie Osborne (6 caps)
Seán O’Brien (2 caps)
Max O’Reilly (7 caps)
Andrew Smith (2 caps)
Alex Soroka (2 caps)
--
Osborne looks ready to step up to a senior deal, other than that I cant see anyone else being promoted early, Soroka probably the most likely but has been hampered by injury this year.

Leinster Rugby Academy – Year One 2021/22:
Jack Boyle
Lee Barron
Chris Cosgrave
Mark Hernan
Temi Lasisi
Ben Murphy
Rob Russell
--
Russell may get bumped early as he is much older than the usual year 1 player, wait and see.

Tamilore Awonusi went to Kilkenny College, he plays rugby now in the states I think.. 6'6 winger about 21/22 I think.

Chay Mullins is an u20 wing who plays for Bristol, was involved with Ireland u20 last year and recently.
