    I was reading a match report on the Ulster rugby website and the name Callum Smith was quite prominent. Don't know anything about him though.

    Fullback. Malone, I think.

    NEED BACKROWS.

    Callum Smith was playing in the barbarian game. I'm pretty sure he played fly half for coleraine inst, and centre/fullback for Ulster interpro sides. According to the Ulster website, he's not in the academy. Maybe sub academy?

    There are two or three promising back rows in the Academy, but they're only 18 or 19.

    It will be interesting to see who emerges from the Academy this season.

    Last year it was Stockdale and to a lesser extent Rob Lyttle. Matthew Rea and Nick Timoney are two who will hopefully get a decent shot this season, both being back rows.

    That team is correct (not 100% on Hickey). Had never seen Peter Sullivan before, he's a very impressive athlete. Looks big enough to play pro already.
    I was told Hughie and Paddy Paterson are injured and James Kenny has quit. Apparently Kelleher has moved to LFC (good move for both if true)

    The 12 i'm not sure about but it looks like Hickey I think..

    Heard Kenny was injured too, needed shoulder surgery but could be wrong.

    Bench(i think)
    16. Dan Sheehan(Clongowes)
    17. Adam Coyle(Naas)
    18. Joe Byrne(Blackrock)
    19. Cian Reilly(Blackrock)
    20. Max Kearney(Belvedere)
    21. Peter O'Beirne(St. Michaels)
    22. Harry Byrne(St. Michaels)
    23. Conor Dunne(Tullamore)
    24. Tom Roche(Blackrock)

    How'd Aungier get on at TH?
    How was Clarke's throwing in lineout?
    How'd the second rows do?

    Yeah heard similarly on Kelleher.

    Conor Doran was on the bench as well. Think the 12 was the Mary's guy but not 100%.
    Aungier went well but only got a half, one or 2 knock ons but scrummed and carried pretty well. Lineouts went pretty well with Clarke one or 2 not great but to be expected realistically. Both second rows went well plenty of carrying and work rate. Leinster were much the better team until Harry Byrne had to go off.

    no idea.

    would have expected him to be ahead of O'Beirne/Fabian but only because he played A last year when they were in school.

    it would be a shame if Kenny wasn't involved with the sub academy.

    Murphy is obviously better then them. Probably injured or decided not to play. Same with Cagney

    Are you sure Munster are playing Leinster U20s on Friday? Leinster are just back from training camp in Italy. Maybe one of the other provinces?

    Slight change in the qualifier format for Leinster this year. 4 pools of 4 as before.

    Seed 1 play 2 first game and 3 play 4. Loser of 3 v 4 doesn't play 1 or 2. Should hopefully avoid too many hidings. Games 24/09, 01/10 & 08/10 (unless it is Tarf v OB which would be 06/10)
    Groups are below.
      1 2 3 4
    1 Lansdowne Trinity UCD Navan
    2 Marys Rock Tarf Nure
    3 Barnhall Buccs OB G'stones
    4 NUIG OW Naas Sutton
