Leinster Academy 2021-22

[leinsterforever]

Thought Charlie Ryan would have been heavier than 108kg. Says in this article that he is (or was at that stage) 110kg https://www.the42.ie/charlie-ryan-irela ... 8-Mar2019/

To give himself the best possible chance of a berth, he has bulked up from 106 kilos to 110. But more important than the number on the scales, is the number of hours he has been putting in with physio Niall Kennedy to build strength through his core and his hips so that he can rack up more minutes on the field.

“I wasn’t given a contract this year. I got another crack at it in the sub-academy to physically develop. Personally, I felt a little bit behind. No one ever told me that. They never say it that bluntly. In fairness, they’re brilliant. They’ve just given me solutions.”

“David Fagan and Danny Wood and the boys in the sub-academy in the portacabin, I’ve just been putting in the hours there. I feel stronger and heavier, the main thing is I can get through 80 minutes without getting hurt.

The first of three national Sevens tournaments over the coming weeks is set to be played in Dublin on Saturday, as Ireland will go head-to-head against Munster, Connacht and Ulster.

Due to a raft of injuries, as well as a host international call-ups, Leinster, who were due to take part, have opted to drop out.

With two further events lined up for October 31 and November 7, it is hoped that Leinster will be able to rejoin and further boost the tournament, which has been designed to give players some much-needed game time.

The tournament, which is to be called the 'IRFU Academy 7s', is hoped to become an annual event.

Anthony Eddy, Ireland's director of sevens rugby, will have a strong squad to pick from this weekend with the likes of Jordan Conroy, Billy Dardis and Terry Kennedy all in line to feature.

IRFU performance director David Nucifora is also set to be in attendance.

The provinces are largely expected to use their Academy players, although some senior guys will also be involved.

Munster head coach Johann van Graan has already revealed that several of his senior players will be included.

It is understood that the provinces have been working with the Ireland sevens management in terms of preparing their teams for the rigorous demands of the shorter code.

The games will all take place on Saturday, with the four teams to play each other once.

Following clarification from the Government of Ireland & the Northern Ireland Executive we can confirm that the Energia Community Series is suspended in all 4 provinces until further notice.

Games cancelled but you can still go to the bookies and have pints and grub outside. Probably won't see games back this side of Christmas? Feel sorry for the young lads. Prob be no new sub academy entrants and no Irish under 20s either.

[mildlyinterested]

I wonder if sub-academy players will be used in the 7's games later in the month, if they go ahead.

Hopefully but it seems like they want to keep the contracted players in a bubble for the moment

Could happen. But not much use to the big lads up the front
