Eh, one of the first things Cullen did was pick RingroseRichieRich89 wrote:Cullen didn't pick Ringrose either. He went for 12. Fitzgerald, 13. Te'o as his preferred centre partnership in the European pool stages. When they were unavailable first up against Wasps he picked Reid and McFadden together, if memory serves. Ringrose got 10 minutes off the bench in that game and a start at home to Bath when Leinster were already out
Although that's not to say that MOC was right in his approach. Cullen was quite conservative before Lancaster came in. From memory, I think Adam Byrne only made three appearances in Cullen's first year

15/16 season for Ringrose - 1500+ minutes played
Conclusion - Ringrose didn't get picked in the latter season, just like the former!
Honestly, are you soft in the head?

McFadden barely featured in 14/15 because of injuries and discipline. Didn’t even make the extended RWC squad IIRC.Armchair_Superstar wrote:Schmidt has quite a lot to do with it considering it was a RWC year and Leinster had a lot of centre options in contention all looking for game time.CM11 wrote:Army, what has Schmidt got to do with this?

This is before you consider the likes of McFadden and Daverage in the squad looking for gametime on the wing.
MOC was already under pressure over the league form which meant he had to double down and try and hit top 4 any way he could. He also managed to take Toulon into extra time thanks to a try-saving intervention by the much-maligned Jimmy Gopperth.
Obviously it is easy to forget the hysteria that MOC was causing at the time and the complete loss of perspective that took place.
Cullen has done a great job at Leinster but he had no alternative but to start the kids in 2015, with half the squad at the RWC. Another thing that is now forgotten is the way the senior players in the Leinster squad performed in Europe that year - people were saying they looked like they didn't want to be there. Sexton was highly critical of the squad environment in 2016 and singled out the youngsters who were still putting the requisite amount of effort in.

Just posted similar on the Welsh thread. We have 4 x AI, 5 x 6N, 4 x Warmup, 4 x RWC + potentially 3 knockout games in 12 months. 20 games. I will have my fill and some.

Still young at 19, although he is a big unit already. They should be bumping these lads up when they produce the goods it sends all the right messages and keeps the youngsters focussed.unseenwork wrote:Huh so Kernohan is only now getting an academy spot, was sub academy at the start of the season.
