RSA Tour squad
No Buckley, Bowe, or Henry; McFadden and both Kearneys still there but four new faces included. Leinster 20, Ulster 10, Munster 8, Connacht 6. Change or no change?
From the rolling glens of Antrim through the hills of Donegal we will stand and shout for Ulster as we win both scrum and maul from the lovely lakes of Fermanagh tae the shores of ould Lough Gall we will scream and shout for Ulster as we beat them one and all!

Re: RSA Tour squad
Where is this announced? Is it different to Joes one day banker a thon?
Re: RSA Tour squad
This is a squad together w/e and not necessarily the Tour squad but indicative of the squad
Because it is a tour squad there is an element of are available to tour
Or is there a valid reason why you can't tour . That said most players know the tour dates and avoid personal reasons that would rule them out .
Sometimes players who have been carrying an injury opt for surgery post season .
Try BBc for squad

Re: RSA Tour squad
Looks as though Henry could be on the way out for good with the backrow selections available to Ireland now. Very tough on Buckley, whom I would rate as one of the best two looseheads in Ireland. What more does he have to do to get Fibber's attention? Understandable that Tommy Bowe may just be rested.Setanta wrote:No Buckley, Bowe, or Henry; McFadden and both Kearneys still there but four new faces included.

Until that gym monkey gets dumped there's no budget for Buckley

Totally agree in respect of the non inclusion of Denis Buckley whom I also rate as Joint Number 2 with Healy ....ie if the latter is on a good day . Certainly Denis Buckley has far more to offer that Kilcoyne, but in my humble opinion would be behind Jack McGrath in the pecking order.
Maybe the name 'Buckley' scares off the selectors given the lack of success of a previous prop forward of the same name ...Tony Buckley was a serious waste of a large frame/body

Re: RSA Tour squad
Ringrose is the exact type of player who should be touring. Anyone with half an understanding of centre play should see the potential of him and Olding as a partnership going forward.Russ wrote:Ringpiecescrum5 wrote:No Caveman either, unless my eyesight going as well.

Re: RSA Tour squad
There are quite a few who miss tackles or expose team mates in the squad
Not just the Kearneys
Henry is 31 and not likely to feature at the next RWC while he may be still as good as some of those named the fact is being older now counts against his inclusion given the number of back row options .
Others of similar age could well
face a similar fate if and when younger and equally talented options are available for example Bowe and Trimble .
