[QUOTE="snoopy snoopy dog dog, post: 334026, member: 13611"] Ah lads don't be nit picking; just because he's got insider info with the Munster lads well it's no reason to yank his chain! I don't know about that. Assuming this was an Ireland u20 trial game, the Cunster team didn't select some of their best options- JJ Hanrahan (a 10 or 12) and Corey Hircock (a 13 or winger) were nowhere to be seen despite being in the Munster academy and Eoin McKeon who's played 8 for Connacht in the Magners League didn't feature either. The starting loosehead prop (Aaron Spring) is a recent convert from the backrow. Lulster didn't pick Ireland u20 players Andrew Conway, Brendan Macken, James McKinney, Niall Annett, David Doyle and Jordi Murphy. What we saw were two scratch teams who'll never play together again, play a meaningless fixture. If each province gets two talented players out of this fixture, that'll be considered a success. Given just a couple of months everybody will have forgotten about this game. [/QUOTE]
