Our scrum has been a weakness throughout the game.
Re: Leinster vs Emirates Lions, Friday 25.02.22 19:35 @ The RDS
Really should've gotten the TBP there, lots of sloppiness in second half. Not sure why we were trying to force the offload so much.
TOB & Osborne were really good. Joe McCarthy very impressive too, he's got great athleticism and a bit of bite too.
Dooley had a lovely cameo also.
Lions pack are very solid. Our scrum was properly taken apart all night. They're totally unstructured in attack albeit.

Chucking the ball at DK's feet is so de rigueur en ce moment

I rate Dooley very highly I don’t understand how he dropped down the pecking order this season after his Greta performances last season. He’s got great hands and the scrum always seems to be tighter when he comes onwixfjord wrote: ↑February 25th, 2022, 9:22 pm Really should've gotten the TBP there, lots of sloppiness in second half.

I thought McCarthy was superb in the loose. It’s not a bit surprising that the scrum went backwards on his side given his stage of development

Agree, he's a fine player - would rate him way ahead of ByrneTheleinsterlad wrote:I rate Dooley very highly I don’t understand how he dropped down the pecking order this season after his Greta performances last season.

Dooley, Deegan and Penny really added a lot when they came on. Brilliant textbook try saving tackle from O'Brien, moment of the match.

13. 3 c in the law book. https://www.world.rugby/the-game/laws/home
Understandable because the Tackle is covered in Law 14.

Someone phone the agent of their scrum half and see if he is interested in coming North. He was excellent.
Re: Leinster vs Emirates Lions, Friday 25.02.22 19:35 @ The RDS
Agree 100% - I was venting to the poor fella beside me before the match as to why E Byrne is ranked ahead of Dooley. Dooley is better in scrum, lifting, ruck, tackle, pass, hands and probably odd jobs around the house. No idea how the pecking order persistsBarry wrote: ↑February 25th, 2022, 9:32 pmAgree, he's a fine player - would rate him way ahead of ByrneTheleinsterlad wrote:I rate Dooley very highly I don’t understand how he dropped down the pecking order this season after his Greta performances last season.

Decision making tonight from players let us down a bit too often. Not just when to offload or go to ground either. Scrum continues to be a bit of a worry.
Sensational cover tackle from Tommy O'Brien, deserved the MotM award for that alone.
Craig Evans is a terrible referee. Missed so many obvious offences and often has the look of someone who's guessing about decisions.
On a point of law, isn't the hooker of the team with the put-in supposed to make an attempt at hooking the ball?

Look out Itchy, he's Irish

Ref hadn't a clue. It was an enjoyable game despite that. It was good seeing a team putting it up to us at the RDS and by and large we responded well. Our defence was superb for 77 mins. The handling skills of Dooley are Furlongesque. He also has decent footwork. We got to see the outstanding contender for Tackle of the Season and Nugget stepping their 11 before putting in a sweet kick ahead. All in all a good night's work despite the failure to get a TBP
