Ireland Under 21

The Ireland Under 21 selectors have named a 39 strong squad for the games against French Regional XVs at Templeville Road on Saturday next. The games will kick-off at 12 noon and 1.45pm respectively.

Perhaps not surprisingly, interprovincial champions Munster have the biggest representation with 14 named in the squad. They are followed by Leinster (12); Ulster (9): Exiles (3) and David Connellan the sole Connacht representative.
