Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread

I am not arguing that point, BiV pointed out that Fitz has had issues, which you seem to argue that he didn't. BiV's argument was that Earls/Trimble/Fitz didn't come through the age grades with a full skillset including passing/timing. I'm not even sure why he bothered with mentioning form as it ha...

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread

It's not the young players coming in now. It's the players in their mid to late 20s that have skills deficiencies due to the coaching they received through the grades. Kearney, Fitzgerald, Trimble, Earls, etc all have obvious weaknesses. The last three can run in a straight line and finish but when...

Have to say Earls is a lucky boy if he's starting, Trimble could hardly do more to try and prove his worth at the minute while Earls has been distinctly :| with a few x( moments.

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread

Unfortunately I can see Munster offering ROG a contract and it will have nothing to do with Penney either. ROG in Munster is still probably seen as having marketable value to the Munster board, this I think is the sad reality, I just hope they give him only a one year and not a two year.
