McMahon Names Munster U19 Side

The Munster U19 side to face Connacht at the Sportsground this Saturday has been named with Head Coach Colm McMahon making one change to the starting XV that defeated Leinster last weekend.

That change comes in the front row and sees Shane Bushe start at hooker with Mark O'Mara moving to the bench.

Like the U20s, Munster U19s travel to Galway this weekend in the knowledge that a win will secure them Interprovincial honours.

With the U20s in action at 5pm on Friday night, McMahon’s U19 side will face Connacht on Saturday at 5pm.
