Not a perfect performance but Harry Byrne has shown a lot of class tonight . Some beautiful passing and a perfect display of place kicking He seems to frequently have a few hiccups early on but then settles. But overall very impressive. His passing is just so slick, takes good options, had us playi...

You probably hear more than me about how they're rated but judging by his play for the 20s I really like him. Very intelligent attacker, has a knack for breaking the line and is a very good defender in spite of his size as well. Hadn't heard ROL was injured?

hermie

of course. Bonkers. Murray is the worst but that was even more predictable at least. VDF is just too lightweight for International rugby. He needs the likes of Furlong and Henderson to be their bullocking best to shine. Way too simplistic a view. Same size as All Black captain Sam Cane for a start....

Basically the whole Saracens team. Except for Owen Farrell, I actually really like him. Seems like a good guy.

The POM is craziest because not only is it undeserved but it actually makes no sense.

Agreed that Murray is the worst though. Although the options aren't great. Especially with Cooney not even in the squad.

hermie

Depends on what you want. VDF if you want to play the game at pace or you're playing an opponent capable of playing with a lot of tempo. Connors if you want to stop a team who would be in danger of rolling over you. I still think Connors needs to round out his game a little bit more. Personally I wo...

Balacoune is a better prospect long term. Pity he's injured.

hermie

Richmond might be a good bet either

Leaked team has Keenan wing and Stockdale FB. Lord give me strength They would have played like that for the 20s. Stockdale at fullback, Keenan on the left. Stockdale at 15 in one way at least hides him a little bit defensively. His worst game this season was where he was forced back onto the wing ...

O'Driscoll is full of shit. He's a terrible pundit.

Fionn O'Hara starting at 10 for ireland u18 vs italy u18 last november, scored a try: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5jKZvHymUI&t=792s&ab_channel=ConnachtAcademy What time, I'm 3 mins into this clip from the time you've linked to and there's been a minute waiting for a lineout, a big break by the...

IRUA speaking to someone involved with Leinster youth, I was told to start the hype train about Fionn O'hara do you know him? Yeah question is does he go to Oz to play AFL, stay in Ireland playing rugby or go GAA route. Big talent for sure tho, at 10 or 15. Still in school so have to see what happe...

Do we all know the guy in Cogs?? Haha, great shop alright.

His cheek really swelled up but doesn't sound like he had concussion.

This guy? https://hoganstand.com/Article/Index/307657

Certainly seems that way.

irua, no Fardy?

Larmour gone until February. Fúcking hell, that's a bad one. x( What actually happened? Dislocated his shoulder I think. It looked like nothing. Tackled a player from a restart and went down after. Looked in a serious amount of pain tbf. Poor fecker, I was really looking forward to seeing him more ...

What are the odds the game goes ahead this Saturday? Does anybody actually care? I've seen more interest in the build up to a November test against Georgia. If a Six Nations falls in a forest does anybody.......... Well I care, but it's true that it's very muted. Strange one that they've kept Lowe ...

hermie

I'd be a little surprised if it doesn't happen but at the same time under Level 5 it technically shouldn't.

hermie

Just finished the most recent Top Boy on Netflix. Top Boy Summerhouse also good. Looking forward to another one, whenever it comes out.

Rugby is getting too predictable, I love watching Russell play, being a Racing or Jock supporter must be a joyride. It's easy to get your head turned by him, he's just so creative. Like no other 10 in the NH. The difference is that there are loads of players like him in the SH and most of them don'...

No sign of the teams for tomorrow? I take it all the Munster lads are shouting for Racing and the Ulster fellas for Exeter?

hermie

Ah very good.

He was nominated at least twice. Lost out to Wood in the inaugural one the was robbed by McCaw the year of the Slam. Wasn't there something funny with the way they judged it that year according to Paul Wallace? D'arcy, POC, Heaslip were all nominated before Sexton finally won it.

hermie

Dusatoir's a bit odd. Lots of his career highlights were pre-2010. PTSD's an odd inclusion, fairly recent to the table. Probably have to give it to McCaw, TBF. Are the nominees not just the various winners of the award in the last decade? Several would have won it more than once in that time. BB de...

Just had a look. Both Carter and Beaudie won it twice in the period that's why there are 8 nominees.

Jordan Larmour will not be available to play any role in this autumn international window while Ryan Baird has been ruled out of the two remaining Six Nations fixtures. Connacht’s Ultan Dillane has been added to the squad. Finlay Bealham and Dave Heffernan are progressing though the return to play ...

With so many players unavailable to Cullen and his coaching team ahead of a relentless block of games, the depth in the squad will be tested, and several new faces may get a chance to impress. “It places a different sort of challenge for us now.
