Re: Ireland u20 2020
U20s and Womens going ahead but BCD. as of now
You know I'm going to lose,

But that's the way I like it baby, I don't want to live FOREVER!

Re: Ireland u20 2020
It's a decent list with some broad scope research but some of the UK based suggestions may be over-rated. The development of some players either hits a wall or accelerates at this age and certainly the loss of the JWC will be a huge disappointment to this entire age-grade. Hopefully World Rugby will try very hard to get an alternative window for this competition in September.dropkick wrote:Top 50 U20 players in the world.

I would go as far as to suggest that the IRFU should offer to host the Tournament from the first week of September for 5 weeks. Potential venues could include Energia Park, Independent Park, Thomond Park, or other Club 4G facilities around the country.
Yes, there may be an economic risk in this offer but now is the time that a Union which fundamentally has resources (facilities, Professional Staff & Volunteers) needs to put their hand up to bail out the rugby world and look to assist the recovery of our society from the extraordinary impact of this Pandemic.

Would be nice to have an event in Munster or even better in galway. A world cup with games in Limerick and Galway so Sportsground and Thomond would be fantastic. I personally wouldnt have anything in Dublin. Not enough big rugby events played outside Dublin when there used be far more

Re: Ireland u20 2020
I've a lot of sympathy for these lads. They were something special and headed for a championship, and it's age-grade rugby - you only get one shot at it as a team.mildlyinterested wrote:cant find these games anywhere.

Projecting where this years 20s's are next season:
Prop
Tom Clarkson(Blackrock/DUFC) - Leinster Academy Y2
Charlie Ward(Tullow RFC/Clontarf) - Leinster Academy Y1
Harry Noonan(Greystones RFC/Old Wesley)
Marcus Hanan(Clane RFC/Old Belvedere)
Ryan McMahon(Clongowes/Old Belvedere)
Ciaran Ryan(Rockwell/Cashel)
Could see both Noonan and Hanan maybe heading west.
Hooker
Tom Stewart(BRA/Ballynahinch)(u19) - Ulster Academy Y2
John McKee(Campbell/Old Belvedere)
Bobby Sheehan(Clongowes/UCD)
Could see both McKee and Sheehan being on trial with leinster to battle it out for an academy place.
Lock
Tom Ahern(Waterpark RFC/Shannon) - Munster Academy Y3
Brian Deeny(Wexford RFC/Clontarf) - Leinster Academy Y2
Eoin O'Connor(Waterpark RFC/Young Munster) - Munster Academy Y2

Mark Hernan(St. Michaels/Lansdowne) - Leinster Academy Y1
Cian Prendergast(Newbridge/UCD)

Could see Prendergast being approached by Connacht.
Scrumhalf
Lewis Finlay(Down HS/Malone) - Ulster Academy Y1
Ben Murphy(Pres Bray/Clontarf)(u19)
Conor McKee(Sullivan Upper/Queens)(u19)
Don't see either Murphy or McKee getting full deals this summer.
Outhalf
Jack Crowley(Bandon/Cork Con) - Munster Academy Y1
Cathal Forde(Coláiste Iognáid/Corinthians)(u19) - Connacht Academy Y1
Tim Corkery(Kilkenny RFC/UCD)(u19)
Think Leinster will wait and Corkery especially given how young he is, is almost an u18 for this season.
Centre
Hayden Hyde(Exile/Queens) - Ulster Academy Y2
Dan Kelly(Exile/Leicester)(u19) - Leicester Tigers Academy
Luis Faria(Wanderers/DUFC)
Harry O'Riordan(CBC Cork/UCC)(u19)

Don't think theres much between them, Hanan has more physical potential. Wouldn't surprise me if both were involved with leinster next season. Or just one.
