I find the strategy odd:
We are already in an overwhelmingly uncompetitive league to the point we are becoming undercooked / unprepared for physical teams. Player management could be done at anytime. So what does the IRFU manufacture? Weakened sides to ensure home wins (nigh on) and miss out on actual competitive games. Poor.
To be fair UR with the injuries would have little further options, but the overall point stands.
Thoughts - interesting to see Roberts getting another look in from the bench. TOT will have his work cut out with Buckley.
Timoney / Jones : with the MC announcement they really have an opportunity to put their hands up. Connacht are abrasive, a lack of physicality will shaft us.
Treadwell owes a big one, his ban cost UR big time in Glaws.
Happy to see more of Moore & Hume in centre.
Are SMcC & Hume a decent partnership? I like Moore’s skill set.
Glad to see Albie at 9. He’s been underused for me.
A blustery Galway isn’t going to be a great day for a back 3 - interesting to see how they go. I’m still to be impressed by Gilroy in any game post injury. Hopefully he can come back to his finishing best - because that really is the best bit of his game.
