    mostly from the bench i'd say, apart from the messiah, who I heard might play 15.

    Possible Michaels side:

    1. Chris Hennessy(6th)
    2. Adam Peat(6th)
    3. Fionn Finlay(6th)
    4. Jonathan Fish(5th)
    5. Ryan Baird(6th)
    6. Jody Booth(6th)
    7. Scott Penny(6th)
    8. Dan O'Donovan(6th)
    9. Rob Gilsenan(5th)
    10. David Moran(6th)
    11. Jeff O'Loughlin(6th)
    12. Jay Barron(6th)
    13. David Ryan(6th)
    14. Andrew Smith(5th)
    15. Chris Cosgrave(4th)

    Really? He's the clear and obvious choice to play 13, besides I had expected Mark O'Brien to start 15

    Just what I had heard.. this time last year Dan O'Donovan was still a back, then after 9 months he was playing number 8 for ireland u18, so plenty of time for it to change.

    Also Cosgrave playing more positions than 13 can only be good for his development.

    Fair enough, I'd expect a few changes from the team you have there

    Fair enough, I think he's good enough to start in 4th year and with a bit of work on his technique could more than hold his own at loosehead, has the size for seniors I think

    Current Michael's newsletter states they have the most current professionals of any school in Ireland with 17 pros.

    Wrong. I can name 20+ from Blackrock. That's the sort of self-absorption that leads to them bombing in the senior cup every year.

    Ian Madigan
    Charlie Connolly
    Brendan Macken
    Eoin Sheriff
    AJ Macginty

    Both Angus Lloyd and Dave O Connor were pros last year and still looking for clubs. Connolly going to Italy.

    How embarrassing for Michael's.

    They probably meant playing within Ireland. Quite a few of those rock lads are playing abroad. Not sure you could really count loughman, oliver, carberry, Harris wright either. They spent less years at rock then at their previous school.

    Liam Corcoran and Peter o Beirne are not eligible for u19, you're right about Wilkes

    O'Beirne made 20s squad? Ahead of Patterson, O'Sullivan and Kenny?
