Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread

Can see Kitshoff being one of Ulsters worst signings. Interms of bang for buck. Called it before he arrived. looks like he doesn’t give a shit. It’ll be interesting to see how Flannery does when he come on. Mcnabney doing okay for his 3rd cap and European debut. He’s going to be a quality player fo...

Re: 2023/2024 European Champions Cup

English sides doing well so far.

The closing down of Irish, Worcester and Wasps has maybe concentrated the talent a bit better?

If you’re picking an Irish player it has to be Keenan or Sheehan. Truely World class players aren’t inconsistent and are relatively error free. I do t think Keenan or Sheehan have ever had poor games.

Just natural, sublime rugby players.

La Rochelle have been a bit poor this season though.

Possibility of all four Irish provinces losing this weekend. Munster have the best chance of a win, even though they arguably have the weakest 23. They’ve far too many injuries!!

Skelton there then!!

It’ll be interesting to see how McCarthy and Ryan stack up to a tight 5 containing Atonio and Skelton. Furlong will be a big loss as Ala’alatoa is a fairly average prop.

Physicality in defence? A focus on bringing their guys down? How's Connors been since returning? Haven't really had a look at him. La Rochelle missing 2 of their 4 titans (Danty, Atonio, Skelton, Aldritt). Leinster will be favourites or at least even money. Aldritt and which other one? Skelton?

Plenty of good NIQ players. Fardy and Thorn at Leinster. Contepomi, Elsom etc.
