Great to see Ringrose is still available for this. Cian Romaine for Connacht should also be good
Originally posted by PARISHMAN1970 View PostI think we may only have had seven players in the initial training squad so four from seven is not too bad, i am not too familiar with our underage teams but do we have talent coming through at lower age groups level that could make future under 20 squads.
Originally posted by The Outlaw View PostI think our representation is reflective of our improvement at underage. Munster have to be worried about only having 4 players. They should be hitting 8-10 in my view. Leinster as ever dominate proceedings.

4 is pretty poor. Connacht have 5 in the squad.
toland and thornley were on the last word wed night, toland mentioned some Leinster schools have better facilities than the Munster development lads do.
they spoke a good bit about better sponsorship that Leinster can tap into, made me wonder why are all the big companies in Shannon, limerick and cork not being tapped up? What is Howlett at exactly?
