Very surprised that Soroka is on the bench but I suppose it is only a warm up game and you have to give other people a chance, I wonder who will be captain since Jack Barry is on the bench it’ll be interesting to see.

Re: Leinster Academy 19/20
To be fair, they were playing against Gloucester academy who are like much older and twice the size of this Leinster u19s team, due to English players developing bigger at a younger age, the Leinster management make Leinster underage/ development teams play against bigger and mature teams to improve the development of the players , I wouldn’t be too concerned as I feel that u19 year group can go on to achieve massive things at Ireland u20 levelthe spoofer wrote:That's a paddling for the 19's.mildlyinterested wrote:FT in today's Age Grade Friendly Games:

Re: Leinster Academy 19/20
Well then that Gloucester pack is massive for an u19 side, disappointing result but hopefully we can improve towards the inter pros, I saw a picture of Chris Cosgrave playing 10 in a picture towards the end of game on the Gloucester rugby academy Twitter page and a picture of Justin Leonard playing 12, great the way we have so much versatility in our backline
