Hmmmm. Took his chance well Sent from my VOG-L09 using Tapa...

RoG on Lowe and defence "It is undeniable that James Lowe was the central figure for the George North and Louis Rees-Zammit scores. The winger kicked beautifully and added a positive dimension to Ireland’s attack but his defensive decision-making in those instances need further scrutiny and explain...

You'd wonder what the position is with Dev. Not used in the last two games. It will be about 6 weeks between games. a player has been absent due to covid. Unlikely I think but possible. No sign of Dev at traiinng on 25th Jan Dev was training last Thursday Sent from my VOG-L09 using Tapatalk

Thanks as ever rtb. What do people see as the plan for Ciaran Frawley? Is he going to be a competitor for 10, or is he going to be a second 5/8 type at 12? The 12s in teams A-D...they aren’t really distributors and Aki is the oldest at a spritely 30. Chris Farrell would prob go in if the top 2 were...

Edit: Ultimate rugby says he's a 40 year old prop no less. He doesn't look a day over 39. https://www.ultimaterugby.com/player/view/11547

He's a loose head, about 23 years old

I think we've got nine from 1996 - James Ryan, Andrew Porter, Max Deegan, Will Connors, Vahk Abdeladze, Hugo Keenan, Jimmy O'Brien, Cono...

Bouthier missing as well

Touch wood, Church will get his 100th cap in Paris on the 31st. Pity his family and friends won't be there to see him lead the team out.

Thornley's latest offering begins with "the contrasting 7 & 5 day turnarounds" that leinster and munster have ahead of Friday night - we should assume that maths wasn't one of gerry's stronger subjects in school.
