Academy would look something like this?
LH Prop
Marcus Hanan (21/Clane RFC/Old Belvedere) - Year 3
Jack Boyle (19/St. Michaels/UCD) - Year 2
TH Prop
Temi Lasisi (20/Enniscorthy RFC/Lansdowne) - Year 2
Rory McGuire (U20/Blackrock College/UCD) - Year 1
Hooker
John McKee (22/Campbell/Old Belvedere) - Year 3
Lee Barron (21/St. Michaels/DUFC) - Year 2
Lock
Backrow
Alex Soroka (21/Belvedere/Clontarf) - Year 3
Sean O'Brien (21/Blackrock/UCD) - Year 3
Mark Hernan (21/St. Michaels/Lansdowne) - Year 2
James Culhane (U20/Blackrock/UCD) - Year 1
Scrumhalf
Ben Murphy (20/Pres Bray/Old Wesley) - Year 2
Outhalf
Charlie Tector (19/Kilkenny/Lansdowne) - Year 1
Centre
Ben Brownlee (U20/Blackrock/UCD) - Year 1
Back Three
Rob Russell (23/St. Michaels/DUFC) - Year 2
Andrew Smith (21/St. Michaels/Clontarf) - Year 3
Niall Comerford (21/Blackrock/UCD) - Year 3
Max O'Reilly (21/St. Gerards/DUFC) - Year 3
Chris Cosgrave (20/St. Michaels/UCD) - Year 2
Aitzol King (U20/Balbriggan RFC-CUS/Clontarf) - Year 1
Surely one or two of the back three players will be moved on to the 7's program?
No locks in the academy would be a surprise.
Spicer shaped hole!
Seriously though, I'd have thought that one of the lads from this years 20's would have got a chance.

Ben Griffin is good enough to be with a provincial academy.
Saw him in Castle Avenue against Terenure and couldn't understand how he wasn't involved with a province. Exactly the type of frame required for a pro tight head. With a pro S&C programme he could be really excellent
