Re: Leinster Academy 2021-22
Fair point. It wasn't well managed but I believe it would have been possible (accepting quarantine and potentially weaker teams).
Re: Leinster Academy 2021-22
Great to see Noah Sheridan getting these chances though, I think he has a lot to offer. Also think the other Leinster 9 from the u19s interpros has been unlucky, don't think there's much between him and Gunne.mildlyinterested wrote: ↑December 10th, 2021, 8:51 am Notable players missing:

Re: Leinster Academy 2021-22
In interesting and not unexpected news, Temi Lasisi has confirmed he is in the process of converting to tighthead.
Re: Leinster Academy 2021-22
Not surprised at all. Very strong guy and pretty big, although the academy stats have him down as 3-4kg lighter than he was as an U20.mildlyinterested wrote: ↑December 10th, 2021, 8:17 pm In interesting and not unexpected news, Temi Lasisi has confirmed he is in the process of converting to tighthead.
Basher Boyle is also an absolute cert at loosehead, he's going to overtake a whole range of guys ahead of him. Lasisi has just got out of the way rather than being leapfrogged!
Re: Leinster Academy 2021-22
And Porter. By stitching a different number on his jersey he's transformed the depth profile at loosehead and tighthead.
He's also raised the profile for a power loosehead, but tighthead is more immediate.

My dad used to play with/against a guy called Basher - can't remember if it was Basher Boyle or Basher Boylan.

Re: Leinster Academy 2021-22
A win last night for the Leinster U19 clubs lads against Blackrock College, 36-31. Don't have the teams. That follows a loss to Michaels by one point and a draw with Belvedere College over the last couple of months. Don't think the schools had full strength teams out but good going all the same.

Interesting that Culhane is playing 8. He seemed quite slight last time I saw him play (albeit that was two years ago against Gonzaga in the cup). I presume he's grown/bulked up since then

Fionn Gibbons had an offer to move to Toulon but turned it down, big hopes for him. Both he and Brownlee would be good additions to the academy.
