2026 academy intake who to watch

https://www.reddit.com/r/MunsterRugby/s/7W4XfaNKqD

Last years intake and discussion regarding.

Even off the top of my head you’d be thinking all of Conway, Foley, Barrett, O’Leary, O’Shea, Carney should be getting in.

I’m not based in Munster so I’m sure there’s a few I’m missing that we need to get in?

Would like to see some Kerry representation other than JJ after Jack Daly was released and has moved to the western force

Connacht - Last time around on

We fielded a fairly mixed side last time around which I’d forgotten, Sam Gilbert and Bundee are two that will start on Saturday that we haven’t faced.

Treacy and Forde are both out with Heffernan touch and go.

Our full strength side should be a much tougher proposition for them.

Casey Crowley Edogbo Ahern Kendellen all difference makers for me really interested to see the team we put out.

Who do we want to see for the Connacht game and what kind of bench split would you expect? I have a few thoughts below.

Dan Kelly to start with Farrell out (fairly obvious)

Alalatoa to start Ryan on the bench if Jager is out.

Ben O’Connor to the wing with Smith, I think Dalys best position is fullback and would leave him there

I can see Sean O’Brien come onto the bench to cover centre/wing

Is there a place for a 5-3 with JJ on the bench, I imagine Crowley plays 80 if fit so would that be a waste?

I don’t have faith in Abraham’s or Kilgallen in a game of this importance given the form showed this season.

Thoughts welcome
