The Leinster Scrumhalf preview 2021/22

[backrower8]

Rob Gilsenan was starting 9 for UCD at the weekend...

Interesting

Could Leinster hire Frank Murphy as a specialist scrumhalf coach? Whatever about his ability as a coach it would remove him from the league roster of referees.

Peter Stringer be a better idea if we are trying to get underage and academy scrumhalves pass to improve.

A great idea.

best leinster 9 at his age grade.. despite being uncontracted and two of his competitors having academy contracts.

Unless I mised something, he missed (most) all of last season through injury and now needs to show consistency of form to potentially turn heads and earn a late entry to the academy a la Russell. A reasonable possibility?

Yeah sounds about right.

hardly surprising given how little rugby he has played since leaving school. Wait and see how it goes, the same can be said for both 9's in the leinster academy when they've appeared at AIL level.

Quality try from Gunne here, seems to be the highest rated 9 coming through at the moment, but I wouldn't have a great handle on that right now:

It was well taken.

From about 20s to 50s he appeared not to communicate with his first receiver/outhalf. Try was scored and keeping it tight was a reasonable call, but you always want to know when going wide is on.

havent watched it all, but like the look of his pass so far.

and Bobby Sheehans lineout throwing.

edit: Sheehan is a battering ram. still not sure i'd have taken McKee over him last summer. Moved to 6 in the 2nd half too.

Sheehan and Gilsenan combine to score a try here: https://youtu.be/kXRc-0WV5MI?t=3982

Gilsenan gone off, thought he played well.. hopefully he can stay healthy and get a good run at it.

Bobby Sheehan very impressive too.

Impressed by anyone else? It was a cracking game

Sweet jesus, Bobby Sheehan is a monster!

Cormac Foley scored his 4th try of the AIL season last night for Lansdowne, reports are he has played well for them this season, good to see, hope it continues.

Gibson-Park played a game in Ballsbridge at the weekend. Worth a look if you can get hold of the tape.
