Restarts this weekend. Here's our team to take on Quins:https://twitter.com/AcademyIrish/status ... 7928593416

Anyone have any info on this wave of prospects?

Don't recognise too many of the names. Wouldn't be surprised if it was U17 heavy and didn't include those who have already agreed senior academy terms (likes of Bradbury, Arundell etc).

Off the top of my head I remember seeing Davis and Fearnley playing for the AASE league winning team last season. Fearnley also featured occasionally for the full U18s. Harding also played a fair for the U18s. Recognise the halfbacks too, but not sure if they got any U18 gametime last year.

Apparently Quins won 45 - 20.

Cheers. That's pretty much the only thing I've seen too. Shame there's not a little more coverage.

Even just footage of the tries, which a few clubs put out.

Looks like they are playing Saracens this weekend.

looks like we have two teamsheets this week for U17s and U18s versus Saracens - it would be great if they can keep this up: https://twitter.com/AcademyIrish/status ... 3087466500

And a third if you count the ACE team now



Likely to be pretty depleted given there are players involved for the U18 and U17. Albeit Wellington will be missing a few to us and Quins as well.

Assume the ACE team is Bishop Wand and St Pauls combined given it's a transition year with the programme switching between schools

Interesting from TRP on George Davis, who I must admit I didn't know much about: https://twitter.com/TheRugbyPaper/statu ... 2475011074

Nice spot, I missed that when I read the paper over the weekend. Also interesting to note he's said Fish now works with the senior team. I knew he'd been filling in after Skivington leaving but assumed he'd returned to the academy once van Zyl arrived
