    could have dropped/relegated to shield. I saw groups in UCD RFC email and they could easily change before games are played in 2 months time

    Any word on the movement of players between clubs especially around Limerick? I heard we (Young Munster) lost a few players to garryowen, all players would have been seen as fringe players and have been replaced with upgrades so not overly concerned, heard we have signed a few decent backs as well which was badly needed, we had a large squad but the schedule can take its toll so glad with a few new signings. We have also retained a few schools and youths players who are good enough to go into the first team so all positive. 
    Heard Ben Kilkenny is captain, hope he can get an injury free run, he has been cursed since he left school on the injury front.
