U18 result
Italy 42 - 10 Ireland. Very poor result. Was only 12 - 10 at half time. Possibly fitness being a factor? The Italians have it up on youtube but I have yet to watch it.

Not sure if youtube link is working but it's on their site.

Agreed. They looked disorganized too compared with the Italians. A good learning experience.

Ireland's 10, Larke, looks a good player.

given how strong the schools side is i'd wonder how many of the leinster club players will push on, both props look like prospects physically and will certainly get a chance..

Peter Nelson (ex Irish 20's), the Ulster-born, Canadian qualified out-half / full-back plays with them. Squad is a good mixture of French / NZ / Georgians and has potential to get close to promotion battle in Pro D2.

[mildlyinterested]

Ben Murphy was in warmup for A side at the weekend so hopefully back playing AIL this weekend.

Brian Deeny went off early in A game, hopefully injury not too serious.

There's been some talk that Charlie Tector has gotten an academy contract, wait and see if it get confirms officially.
