Mon 12 Dec 2008Young Slammers make senior grade
PLANET RUGBY:RETURNING TO the Under-20 Grand Slammers, it's interesting to note how many of the players have developed. Felix Jones is with the Leinster Academy and Aidan Wynne with Connacht. Shane Monaghan is with Leinster and Darren Cave started in the centre for Ulster on Saturday.
Keith Earls is now Ireland and Munster and Ian Keatly is with Connacht, while Paul O'Donohoe is also a Leinster player. Cian Healy, Richard Sweeney and Jamie Hagan formed the frontrow and all are Lions, with Hagan on the bench for the first time last week for the sick CJ van der Linde.
