My only concern for Harry, and it's the same as I have in blue, is he tries to force things so much. Since he has come on he has been trying to make the miracle pass/break on almost every possession. Doesn't need to do that.

Its easy to forget how little rugby he's played over the last number of months. Just in dire need of game time.

Yeah that is true, but it's a recurring theme. If he played a little bit simpler overall and with a bit more restraint I think it's make a big difference to his game.

I like the confidence to take risks. He's been brilliant for us in the past which led to him earning starts in Europe (which were taken away then due to injury) I've no worries about him at all.

Joey is playing pretty well at 15. Who'd have thought? :)

He has been brilliant at times, but again the 'forcing things' issue has been a recurring theme also. He did it most notably against Ospreys at home last season, and againist Glasgow & Scarlets also.

Today he has had an unnecessary forward pass, a few breaks that didn't need to be made and has forced a pass that fell to ground too.

Great to see he has it in the locked and like I'm not down on the guy, he's clearly a massive talent, but he does need to learn a bit about when to force it and when to play it a bit safer.

Fair. I'm sure hes eager to impress, there's been a lot of nonsense spoken about him on various sites, mostly by fans of other provinces. I would actually love to see his brother get a shot playing behind this Ireland pack,he had no chance in 2019 with the way we were playing.

Thanks Conor, you've made a great contribution for a decade, but the future is high tempo and that you no longer have.
