Re: What makes the current Ireland squad so good?
The poaches, of course. :nod: I agree that they've played a big part. We don't tend to produce great backs these days. Gibson Park, Lowe and Aki were project players while Hansen cane from Australia (Irish mother). All backs. Due to the age of the squad its possible we'll see Ireland take a step ba...

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
Conway was close to first choice when he left, but that was sudden. I thought Conway was injured a bit in his last season with Leinster, and just didn’t get all the games he could have. I got the impression that when he left he was definitely in the plans, and they were sorry to see him go. Was it ...

We were up high in the Hill, so could see everything, but very far most of the time. Watching Ross try to run after his intercept was hilarious.

I appreciate that they really commit to the bit on it, but

is just trying a little too hard to get that line in there.
