He's been nominated for World Rugby Breakthrough Player of the Year

I'm not sure the criteria (ie the time period it refers to) but you would have thought Ryan was a better bet

Accoriding to RTE

To be eligible for this award, players must have played less than one year of senior international rugby, with former internationals Jamie Heaslip, Felipe Contepomi and Phaidra Knight sitting alongside members of the media on the panel that selects the shortlist.

I'd argue Ryan is more in line for world player of the year given the season he had last year and the performances but then I assume it's going to Richie McCaw

I don't think Ryan is eligible because he made his debut in 2017.

I don't think Ryan is eligible because he made his debut in 2017.

So playing for his country before being capped for his province means he’s not a breakthrough player.

Ryan didn't "break through". While not not unexpected, he was just suddeny "there". One minute he's out injured, working on his recovery whatever and the next he's playing for Munster, scoring tries for Joe in America and knocking Montpellier players over like skittles.

Wonder kid does it again!
Another incredible try, his YouTube tribute video needs regular updates.

[Oldschool]

Larmour will have to leave Leinster for the good of the National team.

The logical thing to do would be to just add Leinster ‘A’ to a new Pro15 competition

It's already a WIP
Required a bit of rebranding PFKAM.

[Logorrhea]

Yeah its interesting to see how far he can actually go, assuming they can get the move to Munster processed in the next few weeks.

[neiliog93]

I'm sure we'll conveniently discover via a Munster/IRFU PR job (sorry, Indo 'interview') that Jordan, of St.Andrew's College in Booterstown, has actually 'always felt more of a connection to Munster' and that he has a great-great-uncle and second cousin three-times removed from Clare, or something. The details don't matter.

He was in West Cork once and rumour has it he has been in Thomond Park before so in Jordan McArmour de passion runs strong. 'Limerick' Stander that die hard Munster man, through and through will show him the ropes of how to run straight into contact and get rid of that fancy footwork, Leinster nonsense. Running round someone is the soft way to score, won't work down in the real province.

Would be surprised if he hasn't left Leinster by the weekend, dead end province.
