Replying To The_analyser:  "Irrelevant. Galway wasn't rested coming into that game."
1 week is plenty time to rest for a 60 minute U20 game.. fairly sure I had this exact same argument before the U20 connacht final last year and Roscommon were much improved despite having played the semi final.

Replying To Gaa_lover:  "Or any need to see them.

Mayos starting six forwards should be

Jack Carney, Ryan O'Donoghue, Jordan Flynn; Cian McHale, Aidan O'Shea, Tommy Conroy."
You don't think there's any need for Mayo to play their best players this weekend? Very disrespectful towards Roscommon...

Disrespectful? I have named 6 forwards all bar McHale are established senior championship forwards and I could name a few more. Mayo aren't relying on teenagers to start a championship game against Roscommon.

I imagine he was being diplomatic.
Yes they are free to play but in the background I expect there was a conversation between Moran and Higgins and an agreement made that neither boys will play unless needed. Both players have been used sparing but effectively by Moran.
