Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread

Letting that ball bounce, and the play led to the Blues try. Just too many bad mistakes from Harry this season Don't disagree that Harry hasn't delivered much yet this season, but to point to him for the loss is a bit much (He was only on for 15 minutes). Especially as his brother's defence cost th...

Fair dues, good kick. And well played Cardiff.

Nope, he's 6ft2, maybe 6ft3.

Edit: seeing other posts about his height - I want proof, really doesn't seem that tall.

Frawley did seem to be the same height as Adam Byrne.

He's wearing very big shoulder pads for a back. Strong finish.
It’s almost like he is just coming back from a shoulder injury
Who’d a thunk it
Fair enough - thought it was a calf injury.

Another VDF motm. Could have been anyone from 6-9 really - backrow and JGP on lovely form.

Honourable mentions for Ringrose, Larmour and JOB, who've improved their form over the break.

Clear red. Another 12 weeks off for Zebo. The yellow last week was much worse and should have been red, I think that should be a yellow though, ref was right initially, it's a dynamic situation.
