Hard to disagree with that.

How munster are still at a point where picking Billy Holland in what looks like a first choice 15 is unbelievable.

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread

While I think Carbery is a better 15 than 10 in all likelihood, Schmidt’s hand was somewhat forced there. Jackson was unavailable, Madigan had gone, TylerB may have been in consideration but was broken. Sexton clear number 1, who did he turn to next? Basically Ross Byrne, Carbery or Carty. To be hon...

I was over there for about 2 and a half weeks, attending 6 games, and had a great time, but it was far from perfect.

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread

still maintain Madigan should have been a 9 from a young age. If McKinley never injuries eye, who knows where he'd have ended up. Always said the same thing. It's a real blind spot in Irish rugby that teams and players won't move from the glory position of 10. I always feel ireland is too conservat...
