How good are these guys?
Are there any potential future Austrailian stars on the team?

No, good at schoolboy level does not necessarily translate to good in grade

At university age there must be somebody who has been looked at.
They just lost to Ireland u19.David Dawson 83 and James McNeil 56 made
runs for UNSW, they seem to be ahead of the rest.

It's very difficult to judge any amateur team in early January. The players
turning out are generally only those who weren't able to organise a holiday
trip away.

What I find and it might not be applicable in Oz, is that if talented
young players are chosen and brought into the system, they stay there
until they either need a real job, or in the case of Morgan, Joyce and
the other 14 or so get county cricket contracts in England. There are
no pro competitions in Ireland, even the senior national side only has
two contracted and paid players. So talented school boy players can
turn very quickly (over winter) into talented ex players or worse -
rugby players. Or work all week and cricket on the weekend. While
still retaining a high standard for a Saturday afternoon cricket, the
notion of national selection soon leaves them.

UNSW is one of the weaker teams at the moment

Given the NSW bit, I'd say all of them have a crack at the Oz side.

They fared better than the "grade" XI that Ireland U19 played against,
and they done better thanthe Afghani U19 who got tanked. West Indies
U19 tomorrow, that might have some more talent on show. Then it's the
comp for real.
