Luke McGrath is going to Perpignan

On his holidays?

Nice town.

 

[How bad boy]

That's exactly it. Their wage bill has been propped up. I don't think you could argue that any of their next batch of players are worth a CC at this moment in time anyway.

Munster could probably argue that Coombes would be on one and if Edogbo stays fit he'll almost certainly be on one.

Ahern would be another if he hadn't been cursed.

Henshaw back in the squad for Friday, after an embarrassingly poor performance against Cardiff at the weekend.

Aki a benchwarmer for Connacht and back in the squad.

This is the perfect game for getting minutes into players like Dan Kelly, Doak, Edogbo. Opportunity squandered, yet again.


What else would you expect from a coaching ticket who delivered the Sam Prendergast debacle of the last year and a half.

They must be backing Gunne hard. With JGP not getting any younger, watch them sign Dupont or something.

This will probably mean that Gunne instantly jumps ahead of Doak for some reason too

I've seen Leinter fans equally appalled at that decision. His legs have gone. That's obvious.

Hes finished at URC level.

Bringing him into the Irish squad is ridiculous.

Stockdale ffs.

Stockdale ffs.

Gotta be absolute last chance saloon for him. If he doesn't take this, he's probably not going to the world cup.

Spoiler alert; hes not going to take this.

Playing a wing who cant compete in the air and cant defend at all is mystifying.
