Academy Player of the Year Craig Casey made his Guinness PRO14 debut last week.

Elite Player Development Manager Peter Malone provides the latest monthly Greencore Munster Rugby Academy update with a look back at the last four weeks of action.

12 Academy players featured for Munster A in the recent Cara Cup fixtures in Boston against the New England Free Jacks and Leinster A – Keynan Knox, Eoghan Clarke, Seán O’Connor, Gavin Coombes, Jack Daly, Jack O’Sullivan, Jack Stafford, Ben Healy, Alex McHenry, Seán French, Alan Tynan and James McCarthy.

Scrum-half Craig Casey became the latest Academy player to make his senior debut in the Guinness PRO14 last weekend against Connacht with eight members of the current Academy now having played senior rugby with the province.

Shane Daly, Alex McHenry, Seán French and Jonathan Wren helped Cork Constitution book their place in the All Ireland League final last weekend. French was a try-scorer in Con’s impressive 23-3 win over Dublin University at Temple Hill.

Jack O’Sullivan started for UCC as they saw off the challenge of Malone 27-11 at the Mardyke in their Division 1A promotion/relegation play-off semi-final.
