[QUOTE="snoopy snoopy dog dog, post: 945324, member: 13611"] Shannon finished bottom of the AIL Division 1A and have been relegated to 1B. That they as an established team beat an upstart Old Glory side who'd never played together shouldn't be a surprise though. Cork Con, Lansdowne and Clontarf would be very strong in MLR. I could see quite a few AIL players who've missed out on deals with the provinces and don't fancy playing in shitholes in the RFU Championship picking up contracts in the US. That's not to criticize MLR. You have to start somewhere and the league is building slowly. It can only help US rugby to have as many players playing professionally as possible. Edit- Updated Ireland U20 Squad (World Rugby U20 Championship 2019) Forwards Declan Adamson (Clontarf/Leinster) * Thomas Ahern (Shannon/Munster) * Azur Allison (Ballymena/Ulster) * Ryan Baird (Dublin University/Leinster) Ciaran Booth (Sale Sharks/IQ Rugby) * Tom Clarkson (Dublin University/Leinster) John Hodnett (UCC/Munster) David McCann (Banbridge/Ulster) John McKee (Old Belvedere/Leinster) Michael Milne (UCD/Leinster) Niall Murray (Buccaneers/Connacht) Charlie Ryan (UCD/Leinster) Captain Dylan Tierney-Martin (Corinthians/Connacht) Charlie Ward (Clontarf/Leinster) * Ronan Watters (St.Mary’s College/Leinster) Josh Wycherley (Young Munster/Munster) Backs Craig Casey (Shannon/Munster) Vice-Captain Jake Flannery (Shannon/Munster) Cormac Foley (St.Mary’s College/Leinster) Sean French (Cork Constitution/Munster) Ben Healy (Garryowen/Munster) Iwan Hughes (Ballynahinch/Ulster) * Angus Kernohan (Queen’s University/Ulster) Stewart Moore (Malone/Ulster) * Colm Reilly (Buccaneers/Connacht) Rob Russell (Dublin University/Leinster) Liam Turner (Dublin University/Leinster) Jonathan Wren (Cork Constitution/Munster) *Denotes uncapped at this level Unavailable due to injury Harry Byrne Brian Deeny David Hawkshaw Martin Moloney Scott Penny Conor Phillips Edit 2- When's Ciaran Booth signing for Munster?
