Leinster Academy 2021-22

[alanair]

I'm used to streams being rubbish.

Do you know are any of the other tools better in that regard?

For a field sport do you mean? I wouldn't consider any 'all in one' solution like Zoom to be in any way, shape, or form, fit for purpose. They aren't meant to be though, they're for video conferencing. For live matches you need a level of control over a variety of things that these packages don't, and aren't designed to, offer.

I don't think people have any idea of what is needed to push out any kind of professional watchable stream - even for the most basic of setups. The ease of use of tools like Zoom/Facetime/Skype/whatever has made people think it's easy - but it's massively different pushing out static head and shoulders shots or powerpoint presentations than it is a fast moving field sport

I would have thought that the powers that be in Leinster , would have been recording the match on probably a 2 camera set up , for Player analysis purposes... Im sure a highlights reel could be harvested from that footage ???

Can one use Zoom to narrowcast a match from one's smartphone like one used to be able to with Periscope?

No. Awful.

Every match is recorded like that alright.

But what people can't seem to grasp is that They. Don't. Want. The. Footage. Out. There.

I'll make a wild prediction. The next time Leinster release a set of highlights for an A game, if they do, it'll be edited in such a way as to make it unwatchable.

Mine, it was sh!t and a pain in the hole

Next, Zoom!

Yes...please, please make Zoom go away forever...someone...

I used WebEx and intercall daily before we got Zoom at work. Zoom was a revelation

I meant Zoom as a generic term, for having to partake in family videocons over the course of the pandemic!
Zoom fatigue overload....

Leinster Wikipedia page has been gutted. I found the squad/academy page easier to read.

No backrow from Leinster MI!

That must be rare in recent times anyway, I would have thought?

I'd say it hasn't happened ever since they changed to U20.

I suppose soroka could play 6 or 8.

Will Hickey moving to wales removed a potential leinster backrow too.

[Serb]

Only four Munster players in the whole squad too. Fair play to both Ulster and Connacht for stepping up their production line.

[mildlyinterested]

Richie Murphy named his 34-player panel to travel to Wales for the 2021 Championship last week but hooker Lee Barron and scrum-half Ben Murphy have unfortunately been ruled out of the tournament through injury.

Levi Vaughan(Terenure) and Will Reilly(MU Barnhall), who was involved in the Ireland U20s Talent Camp held at the IRFU High Performance Centre last month, have been called up and will travel with the squad when they depart Dublin on Thursday.

Barron and Murphy join hooker Tom Stewart, out-half Cian Whooley and second row Joe McCarthy in being unavailable through injury.

Jack Boyle listed at 6'1 and 106kg on irishrugby.ie, doesn't turn 19 until october

[mildlyinterested]

Cosgrave listed at 6'0, 85kg.
Sam Illo: 6'1, 117kg

[scentofgunpowder]

Cosgrave listed at 6'0, 85kg.
Sam Illo: 6'1, 117kg

Always very wary of the stats published for the u20s, especially since the year they claimed Liam Turner was over 6 foot. To be fair they seem pretty reasonable this year, although there's no way in hell Darragh Murray is 115kg, he was a beanpole when I last saw him play for the As a couple of months ago. Similar build to Niall who was ~100kg as an u20.

[mildlyinterested]

Yep theres always a few obviously inflated ones.. still interesting to get a rough guide.
