I believe the Leinster sub-academy is now so broadly defined as to include anyone who's ever been to Funderland. Or so the internet tells me.

Outhalf and Centre

There will be the inevitable overflow from Leinster too.

Thanks for the info guys and I was thinking of Lowndes not McKeon. We seem to have some good Hookers coming through but with Dineen and Delahunt both in Year 1 you'd imagine that they're not going to take any more in that position at least for a year or two. I'd imagine that McVeigh is a shoo in as well. Here's the up-dated list.

Here's the list:

Definitely in:
Cian Romaine (second row)

Potentials:
Peter Claffey (second row)
Conor Kenny (prop)
Mathew Cosgrove (flanker)
Simon Keller (out-half)
Joe Bennet (Hooker)
Conan O'Donnel (prop)
Conor Lowndes (scrum-half)
Aidan Moynihan
Dwayne Corcoran
Pat O'Toole(hooker)
John Healy (hooker),
Steven McVeigh (backrow),
Cian O'Donoghue (wing)
Conor Kyne (prop).

What positions do Moynihan and Corcoran play?

Doubt if they will add more than 5 players to the academy's, last time I saw Conor McKeon play he was definitely at out-half

You are thinking of Conor Lowndes.
Claffey is obviously an option as he started for the irish schools team last year, something quite rare for connacht players.. in fact if he doesn't make the academy setup at some stage over the next 2 years you'd have to question what went wrong.

You'd have to include Pat O'Toole(hooker) in that list. As well as John Healy(hooker), Steven McVeigh(backrow), Cian O'Donoghue(wing) and Conor Kyne(prop).

Thought that Conor McKeon was already in the Academy and he is a fly half.
