Under 19s Named For Connacht Game

The Munster Under 19s squad has been named for tomorrow’s clash with Connacht at Clifford Park (ko 2:30pm).

Colm McMahon’s side, proudly sponsored by Star Elm Frames, will be looking to bounce back from last week’s 19-10 defeat to Leinster and the Under 19s Head Coach has made one change to the starting XV.

Ardscoil Rís second row forward Patrick Staff comes into the side place of Tralee’s Josh Barnes.

The rest of the team is unchanged with Rockwell’s Rory Horgan named as captain once again.

Connacht make two changes to the side that were beaten by Ulster last weekend with Charlie McMickan coming in at out-half and Joseph Ugbo at tight-head prop

Following the Connacht clash, the Under 19s end their campaign at home to Ulster tomorrow week at the Mardyke (ko 2pm).

Tickets for all home underage Interprovincial games will be available on the gate for €;5 or €;3 for concessions.
