Following an extensive eight-week development phase that included six practice games against Leinster U16 and South East U16, the Munster U16 management team have named their summer training panel. The interpro squad of 18 will be selected from this group later this year. The management wish to thank all 37 players in the development squad and their families for their commitment to the programme thus far.
