Gilsenan is the one that I want to see come through. The only one like Murray, Phillips, Holmes that I have seen…well Kenny also, but I have no idea where he is now. Was at Lansdowne. Would be 22 or so now.

[mildlyinterested]

Could be waiting awhile.. think its far from a sure thing he will even make the full academy setup next summer.

Leinster academy coaches can be strange sometimes with some of the talent they don’t pick

Do you know whether it’s talent or application that’s holding him back…or complications from last year’s injury?

Rob Gilsenan is studying Business and Law in UCD

Leinster academy coaches can be weird with their selections sometimes I’m actually not too sure tbh

nothing to do with injury, just unsure how highly they rate him.. i think he had a lot to prove this season both on & off the field, but given the interrupted nature of this season it's been hard to do that.. if there is an irish u20 season, will he be included in squad? I'm not sure.

for the record i'd give him an academy contract.. hopefully by the end of the season the academy coaches agree with me.

Doesn't look like it.

Marcus Hanan listed at 5'11, 111kg on epcr website.

Interesting that Jamie Osborne has been brought in to train with seniors ahead of Cosgrave and other outside backs.

I take it you're surprised at that MI?

You wouldn't see him as a special talent or anything no?
