Don't think we'll see Rory much but i've been impressed by Andrew the past few months of last season, seemed it was between him and Murphy to fight for the third hooker contract and he raised his game enough to justify getting it

Dundon said at the event this week that there's some good young hookers in the squad too so i'm presuming he means McCall and McBurney, hopefully we see the later, could be Rory's replacement for the next 10 years

I think Rory could be handing over the reigns this season. I'm not sure he has another in him. Herring was the heir in waiting but I've been less convinced by him. Andrew could be better. McBurney is class from what I've seen.

What I remember of McCall from his time from the u20s was that he was very good around the pitch but his lineout let him down severely, hopefully has gotten over that since then. McBurney should hopefully be fighting it out for second choice by next season.

Let's hope the pack hits the ground running - we're going to have to stick it up the jumper this season!

He can actually play both at the same time, but his pass from the base of the ruck is a bit loopy.
Never wrestle with a pig. You end up covered in muck and the pig loves it.

That's OK as it is him that has to catch it

............................ is going to be better than the backline.

:scratch: :scratch: :scratch: Dafuq dat happen homes?

NO Ruan
NO Paddy
NO Wee Stu
How's Darren's napper?
Is Tommy still broken/finished?
Will FOLK ever pick Louis again?
Who else is broken? Lyttle? Charless? Stockcube? ?????????????????????????
NEVER MOVE ON. Years on, I cannot ever watch Ireland with anything but indifference, I continue to wish for the imminent death of Donal Spring, the FIRFUC's executioner of Wee Paddy & Wee Stu, and I hate the FIRFUCs with undiminished passion.

I just hope we can keep them all fit for long enough to find out.

First choice pack will be a handful for any side in Europe.
