Re: Ireland u20 2017-2018
Yeah that's got good info too. Thanks. Seems very different to the post above if that's the implication? Not sure I get the inferences.simonokeeffe wrote:I suggest yee read the article I posted the link to, just saying

I'm in that Fan Club. Really great and objective research, particularly of non-Leinster players.fourthirtythree wrote:CiaranIrl wrote:+1 to Hugo's post. You're some man for one man Mildly. Or two men if you count Goreyguy
I think many of us appreciate the depth of knowledge that you bring.
BTW, do you know if Dalton is the son of former Malone great (and slightly mad) Malone 2nd / back-row 'Dinky' Dalton? Centre Curtis is also a son of former Irish centre.

Re: Ireland u20 2017-2018
apparently Harry Byrne looks set to start first game at 10.

Interesting.
I'll take a pure guess on the team.
1. Duggan
2. Kelleher
3. Aungier
4. Dalton
5. Dunne
6. Masterson
7. Kearney
8. J O'Sullivan
9. H O'Sullivan
10. Byrne
11. P Sullivan
12. McCarthy
13. T O'Brien Capt
14. Keane
15. Silvester
As you'd expect there are some big physical players in the French team (https://www.sixnationsrugby.com/en/u20/ ... _squad.php).

Re: Ireland u20 2017-2018
Probably a fair call there, think Duggan may be at risk, but could get the nod due to experience, same with Keane.dropkick wrote:mildlyinterested wrote:apparently Harry Byrne looks set to start first game at 10.

I'd be surprised if Stewart doesn't start at 9.
Re: Ireland u20 2017-2018
Masterson is injured. I heard a rumour that Aaron Hall, O'Sullivan and Mattie Dalton will be the backrow. Obviously that opens ups a 2nd row opportunity, perhaps Charlie Ryan?? He has played very little rugby since the 2017 SCT so it would be amazing if they pitched him straight in away to France!dropkick wrote:mildlyinterested wrote:apparently Harry Byrne looks set to start first game at 10.

I'd be very surprised if it was Ryan, Cormac Daly has been excellent for Clontarf this year so him and Dunne or maybe Dunne and Ronan Coffey.

Re: Ireland u20 2017-2018
Is Charlie Ryan the fella who went off in the SCT final last year with a nasty looking arm/ shoulder injury?
And if so, was it that injury that has kept him out until now?!

Re: Ireland u20 2017-2018
you are right Cormac Daly is a good player. Against France they were always going for bulk in the pack.mildlyinterested wrote:I'd be very surprised if it was Ryan, Cormac Daly has been excellent for Clontarf this year so him and Dunne or maybe Dunne and Ronan Coffey.

Re: Ireland u20 2017-2018
Dalton moving to 6 is to add bulk to the pack I presume. He looks a physical player.
The centers are on the small side but they're very inventive and fast so theyll be interesting to watch.
