Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
I think Lancaster is best suited to bringing through young players. His entire career reinforces that fact; that's what he's good at. The senior coaching ticket with Ireland should be an outsider.

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
Ross Byrne lacks the agility/athleticism. We all know this.
We all know his brother and Frawley are better players.
How long will that realisation take to occur to the coaching staff? I hope it's not longer than they take to replace Murray & Sexton.

Can they just stop playing Sexton & Murray. It won't be a cure-all but I mean c'mon?
They're finished at this level. Probably done almost two years at this stage.

Munster fans really seem to have finally turned on them over the mediocre rugby. Hopefully Ireland fans will follow suit soon. It's been a very long, inexorable sunset on some player's careers. It might be easier to take mediocre rugby if it's part of improvements/younger players getting gametime. ...

Perhaps the victims were murdered because they were infidels.
