Keenan out is an absolute disaster.
Frawley will probably go off injured as well, knowing him.

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
Karl Dickson is reffing the Leinster game next weekend. That's going to be painful to watch.

I'll keep it simple: Front row - '23 Slam 2nd row - '09 Slam Backrow - '09 Slam Halfbacks - '18 Slam Centres - '09 Slam Back 3 - '09 Slam Arguably those same centres were better still for the '04 Triple Crown and there's a case to be made for the 2nd row of that championship as well with O'Kelly pa...

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
That was awful. I'm getting sick of the pack not showing up in big games. Couldn't get any shape going in the second half with Murray at 9. So many errors upon errors, mentally just not in it at all. Really disappointing.

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
What I wouldn't give for Ireland to find an athlete like VDM VDM is generally relatively anonymous against the better sides. Don't give him any space to run into and he doesn't add much to his side. Yep, he's only ever scored 1 try against us, and he is routinely exposed in defence against the like...

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
I thought Doris was excellent. He didn't have many eye-catching runs into space, but he had some lovely touches.
He's down for 9 passes, the most of any forward, plus one lovely offload. He was also the top tackler with 20.

I think worst case scenario for us is one of Crowley or Frawley gets injured with the game still a live contest. It will require a lot of reshuffling and playing people out of position. Otherwise just not really seeing where Wales will challenge, I know we shouldn't be talking like that etc etc but...

GT must be back in the good books, team was spot on,with Jaeger getting the nod over Bealham, not mad about that decision honestly Didn't Bealham just have a kid? Maybe he's just being given some down time. Always good to see a new TH blooded anyway (though I agree on form Bealham deserves a start).

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
It was 100% legit turnover It definitely wasn't. Beirne wasn't there before the ruck formed and the ruck never ended. Should have been a penalty Exeter but those turnovers are given all the time these days. There was no Munster player there. No ruck. That hasn't been the law for some time now.

It was onfield try. Then the on pitch officials looked at the video and agreed it was foot in touch. They then asked TMO to find a reason to disagree. But there was no conclusive evidence of touch.
