ahh for all the rights or wrongs of the comment, they are kids, probably read social media (though maybe not here), and we should try to focus on the positives rather than highlight the negatives.

Re: Ireland U20s 2023
It did seem Scotland got around the winger very easily against England senior team.
Thought Hansen experienced a bit of that too.

Re: Ireland U20s 2023
Gunne has a huge boot and a good pass, considering that was his 1st start of the season, i'd say it was encouraging.
Paddy McCarthy is an elite talent.

Re: Ireland U20s 2023
I don't want him to. He looks like he has the frame to carry TH kilo's and our need there is massive since Porter switched.backrower8 wrote: ↑February 7th, 2023, 10:25 amAgree 100%. Everything about his game is fantastic.

Re: Ireland U20s 2023
I'd say the opposite. The need for a LH behind Porter is much greater considering Healy's age and Kilcoyne not lighting it up either and no other players tearing up trees behind.the spoofer wrote: ↑February 7th, 2023, 10:29 amI don't want him to.

McCarthy more needed at tighthead for me.

Either is a luxury to have. Hopefully once Boyle is back fit his progress will continue.mildlyinterested wrote: ↑February 8th, 2023, 6:08 amBoyle is coming through at loose and Milne is there.

Think Boyle will get a senior cap before the RWC Mildy?

Re: Ireland U20s 2023
I do wonder if he was at a disadvantage as he's new into the system. I'm imagining that most of the rest were in varoius underage grades in prior years which gives them some contunity.
Or maybe reading too much into it.
Never argue with an idiot. Someone looking on may not be able tell the difference
Re: Ireland U20s 2023
Looks like Anagu was carrying an injury, or has he just been dropped? Hopefully he gets another chance anyway.

Re: Ireland U20s 2023
Stade Francais were training on the Trinity pitch yesterday.
I asked one of the coaches why they were over and he explained that they're playing an Irish Universities team in Cork on Friday.

Re: Ireland U20s 2023
Watch out for the French inside centre tomorrow, Emilien Gailleton. Saw him play over in SA for the French 20s last summer and thought he stood out. He was training with the French senior set up in their build up for the 6 nations but must’ve been dropped down to 20s. Serious talent and will pose a big threat to John Devine and Hugh Cooney
Re: Ireland U20s 2023
So impressed with Prendergast's kicking at this level.
Re: Ireland U20s 2023
Irish U20 pack fronted by a Leinster front row absolutely beasting that French scrum.
Good to see.
