One of my mates was telling me he watched Maguire playing for Ireland under-20s and he was virtually unstoppable for opposition. It would be terrific if this guy was in a position to step up. Would be great to see a young Irish prop who could destroy the opposition!although Maguire in particular is absolutely mammoth, 6'5" and 21 stone
Given his performance on Friday evening Boss will be lucky to be fourth choice, he was shockingly bad. Reddan won't have been losing any sleep, that's for sure.SparkyClarky wrote:I have to say that it made me feel good to see the results for leinster/Munster tonight. Felt a bit for Issac (Paul O’Donohoe replaced by Isaac Boss, half-time). Does this mean he is 3rd choice in the BLUE behind Reddan & O'Donohoe. Anyway having seen Wasps last season it makes me think that Bath where very much a harder job for Ulster. Lets hope we can improve tomorrow afternoon and stay within 10 - 14 pts of Quinns. Will be more than happy if we do!!!
Interesting perspective on how Boss is getting on. He was well liked at UR, but given that the backline have been lacklustre at best in pre-season so far, it is going to be intruiging ( not to mention exciting ) to see how much our backline will benefit from having a world class 9 this year.not at all helped by agricultural passing from Boss
yes it's strange that's what most of the fans are saying, although he got a favourable mention in the press - tbh though, I think Reddan has been pretty uninspiring the last few years, so it mightn't be as clear-cut as that. I thought POD looked class the year he was with the u-20s that they won the GS (2007?), has he kicked on?Cormac wrote:Given his performance on Friday evening Boss will be lucky to be fourth choice, he was shockingly bad.

The reporter must have been watching a different game to the rest of us. Everyone knows he can do a lot better but if he's looking to start ML games he'll need to play a lot better.darkside lightside wrote:yes it's strange that's what most of the fans are saying, although he got a favourable mention in the press - tbh though, I think Reddan has been pretty uninspiring the last few years, so it mightn't be as clear-cut as that.

I saw those games and he dominated everyone. Even the English pack were going backwards.promsandwich wrote:One of my mates was telling me he watched Maguire playing for Ireland under-20s and he was virtually unstoppable for opposition.
