My Ennis based spies claim he is an excellent addition, theyre a bit miffed and are unsure how he has fallen down the pecking order

Re: Any word on the Academy?
Really depends on the position doesn't it. 12/13 versatility is a prized asset (the lack of which is one of the reasons Big Stu has less Ireland caps than he ought to have). 11/14/15 versatility is also pretty desirable, as is 4/6, 6/8 etc (look at POM who still sneaks into Lions and International bench spots because he can play 6,7 and . Its the 10/15 one that is more of a curse than a blessing because the positions are just so different you can't realistically hope to be world class at both, not to mention 10 is basically the most visible position so your performance in that jersey has to be spot on, there's very little room for errors.nonplussed wrote: ↑Mon May 09, 2022 11:24 am100%, versatility can be a curse at elite levelkingofthehill wrote: ↑Mon May 09, 2022 11:22 amVictim of being talented in multi positions.nonplussed wrote:Just like Mikey?kingofthehill wrote: ↑Mon May 09, 2022 10:54 amBetter 15 than 10.nonplussed wrote:My Ennis based spies claim he is an excellent addition, theyre a bit miffed and are unsure how he has fallen down the pecking order

Good try by Shea O'Brien. Bad missed tackle by Carson for one of the Munster scores.
I have my own tv channel, what have you got?

2 trys handed to them on a plate otherwise seemed an even contest.
Re: Any word on the Academy?
Some poor tries given up there. McNabney continuing to push at the scrum when their no. 8 Okeke has long picked up giving him a run to the line is very basic. Have saw lots of good clips with McNabney with ball in hand but maybe he isn’t as strong defensively?
Tackling hasn’t got any better with the next generation Humphreys’ but he looked decent of the tee.

Re: Any word on the Academy?
all very valid points. i guess the back 3 and back row are becoming more interchangeable... but we are seeing less and less players covering 9/10/15 or back row and lock in recent times.... remember when Hendy was a 6?allezlesverres wrote: ↑Tue May 10, 2022 10:29 amReally depends on the position doesn't it. 12/13 versatility is a prized asset (the lack of which is one of the reasons Big Stu has less Ireland caps than he ought to have). 11/14/15 versatility is also pretty desirable, as is 4/6, 6/8 etc (look at POM who still sneaks into Lions and International bench spots because he can play 6,7 and .
