Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
Furlong trained today with Leinster, might be a good sign he will play this weekend: https://www.sportsfile.com/winshare/w540/Library/SF1198/1976776.jpg McBryde did say last week that they were aiming for the Scarlets game as a return. It would really be great from an Irish perspective as well if h...

Coombes started the 2nd half very well but drifted in and out of the game a little. Doris was poor by his standards.DragsterDriver wrote: ↑Mon Jan 25, 2021 2:11 pm Coombes was anonymous in the o’classico, both himself and Doris need to get on the ball more.

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
Cooney too old. Sexton not too old. Is there no Indication what Cooney said or did to Faz? He wasn't trusted by Schmidt either so it dates back longer than just Faz. Some rumours that he doesn't train well, others that he doesn't get along with Sexton. Who knows though in reality. I should add he w...

If not I'd have like to see a bigger squad given that there are no games for the provinces esp for the younger lads, to give them international squad exposure.

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
Right now, coming back from injury Larmour looks like a 23 spot. Keenan has fine enough to keep the 15 jersey, Stockdale hasn’t. How’s Lowe’s injury healing? :lol: :lol: Doing alright in the pro14 doesn’t put him anywhere near Stockdales level :lol: Keenan is miles ahead of Stockdale as a fullback

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
Larmour was shit under the high ball, can't argue against that but he was at the heart of most of our good attacking play too. It wasn't just a case of dropping everything and then running in a try. But you can't consider him for FB currently and he hasn't done his wing chances any favours. Yeah wo...

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
Henshaw was huge for Leinster, should have been mom. I thought Coombes drifted a bit, perhaps I expected more, and he's young yet. Some of the people making comments about Henshaw and Keenan after suffering dirty tackles need to take a long hard look at themselves. Neither two footed lunges, nor la...

The amount of whinging about the throw. If it was ever so slightly askew all the way to the tail, you'll see 10 throws far more crooked to 2 that never get blown.

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
Unfortunately Frawley has only played 12 in the last 12 months (or close to). It's a pity because he makes the most sense as a utility player if we're going to persist with this 6-2 split nonsense.
