Farrell is injured and afaik so is Fahy.

Taylor has been focusing on athletics afaik.

Neither irish u18 scrumhalf from last year included.

Stewart just had surgery so injured too.

I was just about to say that. Even last year when he came on as a sub he looked the better player. Don’t know how Sherwin starts ahead of him. About game plan really. Sherwin obviously the main leader, but adds hugely with his better kicking game and defence. O'Connor is a strong, quick threat arou...

The sub 9 for Michaels has been very impressive in every game so far. Dunno how he doesn’t start. Suppose ye can’t drop the captain. I was just about to say that. Even last year when he came on as a sub he looked the better player. Don’t know how Sherwin starts ahead of him. About game plan really....

Mikey O'Reilly and Sam Berman back from injury for Terenure, starting at 4 and 13.
Tom Stewart on the bench.

Thought Gabriel was the best player on the park before his injury, massive loss. Very Impressed by Cooper at 1, Curry at 15 and Wardick at 8 too. Two centres and Sam Corrigan at 8 my standouts for Michaels, Black at 13 stepped into 10 very well at the end. Will have to majorly cut out the loose kic...

Frawley back with Ireland today, chat that McErlean might debut at 15

He must be the extra back Murphy was referring to.

Berman, O'Reilly, Kritzinger, Paidi Farrell, Colbert

Big upset.

David Walsh scored a hat trick, Lucey, Quigley, Brown and Corrigan all impressive too.

Jim White back from injury and starting 7 for Terenure tomorrow, Tom Stewart also on the bench

Hope he's alright

Clash of heads? Leg injury?

Looks like leg but didn't see

Chris Cosgrave been stretchered off early in this development game.

Strong enough side but then again Michaels always have strong sides. As much as people hype them up every year they never seem to be the actual outright favourites for the cup, always 2nd or 3rd favourites. Similar enough story this year imo as I’d have Rock and Newbridge as my 1 and 2 with Michael...

Mutually left due to numerous shoulder injuries, wasn't expected to come back but recovery and year off went well.
Now doing his masters in UCD on a sports scholarship.

Hickey recovering from torn ACL at the moment, but certainly tough order for him with the backrow competition at Ospreys.

Michaels SCT side for Blackrock game: 1. Billy O'Donohue 2. Tom Begley 3. Duinn Maguire 4. Joe Elliott 5. Frazer McKenna 6. Myles Berman 7. Rory Brown 8. Dylan McNeice 9. Chris O'Connor 10. Joe Quigley 11. Paddy Wood 12. Charlie McConnell 13. Ethan Black 14. David Pryce 15. David Lucey 16. Joe Kenn...

U20 Mikey O'Reilly(St. Michaels/Terenure) James O'Loughlin(Naas RFC/Naas) Luke O'Connor(Wexford RFC/Lansdowne) Michael Colreavy(Blackrock/UCD) All four are playing AIL at the moment, wait and see if any of the 4 make the irish u20 squad.

Osborne has a brace on his hand/wrist so presumably injured

Didn't know he was still playing rugby as had been with Dublin minors but he's a very talented lad for sure.
Thought Charlie McConnell might've moved into 10 as he'd played there for seconds last year, with Cosgrave at 12.
