Gunne and Mangan missing due to injury: https://twitter.com/Kieran_Hallett/stat ... 6156153877

No Josh O'Hare or Noah Sheridan this time around and Oscar Cawley overlooked again at 9.

[mildlyinterested]

Could be injury related with O'Hare and Sheridan, hard to know.

Could be injury related with O'Hare and Sheridan, hard to know.

Yes, probably, I heard Sheridan was out with a knee injury for a while but thought he was back. Any idea of when the Ireland U18s Youths/Schools squad will be announced?

Is that Chris Cosgrove in the photo with Josh Murphy? If so, he's much bigger than I thought.

[johng]

Either he is a very tall 6' or Murphy is a very short 6'6"

[paddyor]

With covid "gone" is there any chat of an A tournament of some sort? Or are we likely to see lads kept with their clubs?

Someone who was involved with high level rugby at backroom/sport science/S&C suggested on twitter that reported height and weights of players are utter fantasy and mostly deliberately misleading.

[mildlyinterested]

standing next to Josh Murphy he is around 6'5 or so.

havent stood next to Cosgrave so couldnt tell you.

20-19 to Ireland at half time.

[mildlyinterested]

finished 46-26 at half time to ireland.

some impressive backs on display, could have been wider margin if a few forwards passed.

In fairness the forwards looked very strong. Two intercept tries dotted down under the posts make the margin look wider than maybe it should have been.
