Re: Michael Lowry the new Jack Kyle
you're quite right.. Interesting, last week when the Ulster team was announced a Welsh rugby journalist tweeted something to the effect of "Oh dear Dragons watch out, strong Ulster side.." and then proceeded to list a number of players McCloskey, Coetzee, Best, Henderson etc, and included in the list was Lowry!! The guy only had 2 starts, but already he seems to have caught the eye of non-Ulster fans (I must say one thing that made me laugh about the Zebo incident was the fact that Zebo offered him his shirt afterwards - I was thinking er.. thanks pal, and next year Mike can give you one of his Ireland jerseys for your wall!)kingofthehill wrote:Like I have saying for a long time. He’s a star but let’s not get ahead of ourselves yet.
When will the others I have mentioned come through. Only a matter of time if all goes to plan!
Also interesting, I saw in an interview last week he was very clear that his preferred position was 10 - I must say I love him at 15, but he looks like he'll be a joy to watch anywhere on the park..

Re: Michael Lowry the new Jack Kyle
A few months ago some of us suggested that Lowry may fill the void left by Paddy.. some on here doubted that but now after two games at 15 we are comparing him to possibly the greatest Irish player ever.... let’s get a grip he has all that is needed to make it and I think for one he will..

Re: Michael Lowry the new Jack Kyle
This thread is a Munsterfans production -- the lad shows promises but as stated previously -- I fear against the physical teams his size might be a draw back -- for a team like New Zealand he wears a target for to-day sign -- they wouldn't kick to him just run at him especially if playing 10.

He’s an opposition penalty machine. In the current climate, some players will have to be on their knees to tackle him.

Now FFFS Ron'n, listen to the man would ye, you may remain blissfully unaware but in the words of the song, a change is gonna come. Never in the course of rugby history has player protection been such an issue and as 222 says, low centre of gravity is going to wreck big lads heads.222toHounslow wrote:He’s an opposition penalty machine.

I see Thornley writing today that red cards are a small price to pay for player's health & long-term safety, he's right. The day of the shortarse is on its way back, bigger is better is very much on the line, big fat and slow is going to become a handicap.
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.

Re: Michael Lowry the new Jack Kyle
Some of us are no longer permitted to watch schoolboy rugby...
Remember the hype surrounding Lyttle a couple of seasons ago?
Some here, need to put their skiddies in the tumble drier (not a drying day) and get a hold of themselves.

Re: Michael Lowry the new Jack Kyle
Lyttle has the talent, his injury record is the problem.
He'd be a huge asset to the 1st XV currently.

yes, this was always another benefit of Stu Olding, he was good for a couple of high tackle pens a match because he was so short!222toHounslow wrote:He’s an opposition penalty machine. In the current climate, some players will have to be on their knees to tackle him.
