Who are the main injuries?

Know Smyth and Moynihan probably would have been in.

Are any of the games televised?

They all should be, at least in Ireland and UK

Can we rename this to the annual Welsh wince fest please?!

I'm hoping this year Wales can scale the heights of 2 wins again.

Some boys returning from last year look exciting but we're a bit physically smaller, fingers crossed they can kick on.

Anyone know if Morgan Morse is still eligible, or has he aged out?

As far as I'm aware you have to be <20 on Jan 1st to be eligible for that year, so he should be fine (turns 20 today)

Crazy that he's still eligible!

And after him being mentioned in this thread, Morse goes and has a standout performance for Ospreys v Pau. He was incredible in the final 10min. Instrumemtal in the final 2 tries which secured the win!

Injuries have limited his gametime this season + Ospreys are being careful with his development. But I think we'll see his gametime increase second half of this season.

Will he even play u20s then?

He'd be far better developmentally playing a lot of Ospreys back half of the season than an U20s season.

I know Bowen of Cardiff has played for his region 3 times before an U20s campaign lol, I think he's barely 18.

Not sure if we will see either, Cardiff have a back 3 crisis, although winnet not being selected will help that.

Anyone know how the regional u23 matches went this week and last?

Just looking at the returning players from last year, 2 wins and could have been a third, some of the best performers are returning, we could be on for a 2 or even a 3 win season depending on the calibre of newbies (Tom Bowen and co).
