Murphy and Simpson are both in the academy next year, have heard that Paul Jackson has got an academy deal.

A lot of talk of
Michael Lagan
Alex Thompson
Jacob Stockdale
Jack Owens

all going straight in to the academy as school leavers.

Paul Jackson is Paddy's brother. He's a hooker who is quite highly rated but apparently has a bit of a hot streak.

Craig Trenier, TH, 6ft2 119kg
Denis Coulson, LH, 6ft 107kg

Trenier was meant to start the 1st game for the Irish under-20's but got injured and missed the JWC.
Coulson has been the backup LH for 20's behind Dooley.

Both are big solid props, heard more rumours about Trenier joining Ulster than Coulson.
Neither came that close to joining the Leinster academy, althought Trenier was closer if he had performed well at the JWC he may have gotten an offer from Leinster.

Hadn't heard about Coulson, could be a good option.

Lorcan Dow, Frank Taggart and Sam Arnold will be joining the Academy I would say

Dow and Taggart for sure.. doubt Arnold will, probably will have a year in the sub-academy to see if he is upto scratch..

similar to Dow and Taggart this year...

I would assume David Busby is going into the academy?

Jack Owens and Jacob Stockdale are two elite talents in the backs.. big fast and talented..

Great so Ulster Rugby are signing Leinster props who didn't start for Ireland U-20's whilst letting an Ulster prop who demolished the baby black pack leave Irish shores....makes a whole lot of sense.
