Would be great if Baird, Furling or Cronin we’re to be involved this week. Interesting to see if Frawley is available too.

Re: MNR: Edinburgh in the RDS, 16/11, 8.15pm
Frawley, Baird and Cronin training today.
Re: MNR: Edinburgh in the RDS, 16/11, 8.15pm
That's excellent news.
So we're possibly looking at:
Dooley, Tracy, Bent, Baird, Toner, Murphy, Penny/Leavy, Ruddock, Luke, H. Byrne, Kelleher, Frawley, ROL, DK, JOB
Cronin/Sheehan, Milne, Clarkson, Molony, Penny/Leavy, HOS, Hawkshaw, Turner
Once again, that pack looks very good for this level.

Great team, I’d say they might have Fardy in 23 to give additional cover to Leavy for the back row and I’d hate to see BS miss out altogetherwixfjord wrote: ↑November 12th, 2020, 12:07 pm That's excellent news.

At some point, Bent will need a rest.
Re: MNR: Edinburgh in the RDS, 16/11, 8.15pm
Not sure who Edinburgh have available at the moment in the front row but they're usually one of the stronger scrums in the Pro14. The week after against Cardiff may provide a better chance to give Bent a rest.
Look out Itchy, he's Irish

Re: MNR: Edinburgh in the RDS, 16/11, 8.15pm
Yeah. I presume they have planned for it but it will be a big ask of Clarkson.
At some point, Porter will need a rest too. It's all getting a bit threadbare.
But, sure, begorrah, isn't Nucifora great?

Any chance they could pull HB from this one as a precaution.

They could well do. There's a chap up in Ulster who has a few caps too.Jonny tight lips wrote:Any chance they could pull HB from this one as a precaution.

Nice settled side again. That's a crazy good pack for a Pro14 game like this.
We clearly don't trust some of the younger academy backs as we've gone for a forward at 23 a lot over last few games.
Another big opp for Turner though.

We eased Leavy back with a 6:2 split. Now we are easing him into a start and easing pressure on Baird on his return too.
Really interested in how the backrow balance works.
Re: MNR: Edinburgh in the RDS, 16/11, 8.15pm
You missed the part where I said 'some' there Ronk.
The likes of O'Sullivan, Silvester and Smith is who I'm referring to.

Re: MNR: Edinburgh in the RDS, 16/11, 8.15pm
Actually it will be interesting to see how Turner goes with so many playmakers around him. He'll be our main ball carrier, which should suit him.
Re: MNR: Edinburgh in the RDS, 16/11, 8.15pm
Edinburgh topped their conference. This is a tough match.
There are 7 players from 10-15 + 22, 2 are experienced. Thatsshowing a lot of faith in our young players. As I said the 6:2 split is about Leavy more than about faith in uncapped backs.
I don't think Leo has enough faith in them that he'll give them a chance this international window under current circumstances.
