[Bayern]

Ross Adair and Josh Atkinson probably players who missed out the most.

2 from ulster, 6 from munster, 17 from Leinster and 3 from connacht. I hope this is truly reflective of a very strong Leinster squad this year because otherwise it looks decidedly lop-sided

A leinster side we drew with in donnybrook after conceding on the last play of the game, whilst we beat Munster on the last play.

Leinster side missing Dooley, Leavy, Brewer, Robb and Adam Byrne.

Although I agree, I thought Marc Campbell and Josh Atkinson had a good chance to be involved, Lorcan Dow must be close too but the backrow is very deep and he is only u19. Michael Lagan is still in school and u19 so not considered for Ireland u20. Conor Young is also an u19 so he has a good chance at making the irish team in the future. Ross Adair had a decent shout aswell.

You can nitpick some areas but in general Ruddock does a good job.

[Dan Dare]

I thought Sean O'Hagan from Connacht would have been a certainty. He was the difference between the teams when the interpros were on and we would have won the interpros if we had beaten Connacht. He was going well for Corinthians in the AIL, played a great game v Dungannon. I am really surprised that he is not there.

Sean O Hagan has had some injuries and could get call up later on. Is still underage for 19s.
Im surprised Leinster have so many in squad and the rest of the provinces each don't have more

[Kofi Annan]

Cian Kelleher (Lansdowne FC - LEINSTER) one for the future

[RuPi]

Cian Kelleher (Lansdowne FC - LEINSTER) one for the future

There is some very promising players in the squad, Kelliher has been playing a bit at 12 for Lansdowne so will be interesting as to where he fits in to the side.

Makes sense, thought he would have been there, did not know he was that young. Fantastic player. Had some game against Gannon and the 20's.

I am amazed we did not get more on the squad. Thought Lorcan Dow would get on. We were outstanding against Leinster and they were lucky to draw that game. Big numbers from Leinster alright.

UCD academy er Ireland shooting fish in a barrel here.
Poor Scotland.
What future for the Scots?

[Dan Dare]

Good win, could not have made a better start, young Busby looks good. Scotland poor tho!

[fuzzylogic]

TV coverage?

Busby caught every ball that was kicked at him mostly in the first 12 minutes after that due to the weather it was mucky forward play.Scotland were s h i t e .

TV coverage?

Bit late as it is over
