U18 Schools Side To Face Ulster Is Named

Munster U18 Schools Head Coach Keith Murphy has made a number of changes to his starting XV for this weekend’s interprovincial clash at home to Ulster in CBC on Saturday – KO 1pm.

In the pack Fergus Hennessey comes in at 6 with Charlie Carmody moving to 7 and Jack O’Sullivan starting at 8.

Peter Sylvester’s move to inside centre sees James Taylor promoted from the bench to start at out half.

Other changes in the backline see Daniel Hurley switch from the centre to the right wing with Pa Ryan moving to the outside channel of midfield.

Despite Leinster securing the U18 Schools title with a win over Ulster last weekend, Munster’s representatives will look to end their campaign on a positive note against the Ulstermen. With places on the Ireland U18 Schools side at stake, a highly competitive affair is expected in what will be the second of two fixtures at CBC on Saturday.
