Ulster Juniors head coach Richard Boyd has named his team that will take on Munster at Randalstown RFC on Saturday afternoon (kick-off 2.30pm), in the first of the Inter-Pro series games.
Boyd is looking forward to the Junior Inter-Provincial series kicking off this weekend at home to reigning champions Munster, stating that his players have prepared very well over the past six weeks and have put together a fresh, young and exciting squad who have gelled very well in the short time they have been together.
Coleraine RFC’s Chris Nash has been announced as captain for the 2017 campaign and he brings a wealth of Juniors experience to the role. Competition for places has been fierce and the coaching team have been able to pick a strong squad for Saturday despite the unavailability of the Omagh players who take on Boyne this weekend.
