ACL injury and playing after 5 and half months..impressive. I did mine, and being honest I wasn't an elite athlete but I woukd have needed at least the 9 months that tbey reckon it takes. We'll done sir.
The age profile discussion is ridiculous. If 3 players are introduced fully in every camp that’s a full starting lineup pre World Cup. Also remember that the Hookers are young as are the majority of the back row. McCarthy is young and Porter is only mid to late 20s
You're not taking things like injuries into account. You need at least 3-4 top quality players per position. That's how SA win world cups. Ireland can't compete with SA, French, NZ depth.
@@PB22559possibly but with 2 years left to prepare, I think getting young experience in is definitely possible. Centres is a concern and possibly second row unless Ahern can put on a bit more size and go there. See how Spicer etc cope when coming up a level
@ I would say yes in that respect but that can vary depending on the player. Some need far fewer and those that need more are not up to the level anyway
This pod is getting even worse. Get some new blood on the show. With Farrel not directly involved in this 6 nations they should have tried new players and ditch the old guard who don't contribute much on the pitch anymore. France and others are brave and pick players they want not what the establishment wants.
Ireland playing same players the whole time is what is going to cause them harm come world cup.. coz these new guys won't be tried and tested playing against portugal Romania and Georgia or whoever.. need start getting them in and playing them and giving them minutes so if injuries happen they can jump straight in.. we need new blood for world cup and farrell is very loyal.. wont be easy win 6 nations this year should be interesting
@@DamianDelaney-k9z there is worse than Mr Quinlen, the pathetic and breakfast TV toss pots bowwieeee and dunnachca pod cast. It's sponsored by ryn tubridy and rte by all accounts, still the pundits on every channel in Ireland back the broadcaster's over there own Supporters, weather we listen too these liar's or not they take the money too lie and they also back pathetic commentators and greedy noise making presenters, any chance they will apologize and do a better job , NO📢 they like sneaky lieing creep molly molLIE the script reading snob
England are waiting in the long grass. Not saying they'll win necessarily, but I reckon they'll make life very uncomfortable for Ireland and make it a real dogfight
I think the exact opposite of this. The 22/23 Ireland attack was so good because it was built on the work that the Leinster players were doing every week with Lancaster. I don't think you can go back to that level of attack now. Under Nienaber, Leinster have gone from the best attacking side to probably now the best defensive side in Europe. I think we are best off playing to our strengths
Agreed, he won’t play 6 internationally so needs to put on a bit of weight and try at Lock. Having a lock with his athleticism aswell as size would be great for Ireland in the second row
Gathie can bring in someone like.....frish a guy deemed not good enough for an Ireland call up. Honesty the nonsense of it all. 2 divisions? Who cares they can pick from 3 or 4 divisions it doesn't make them international level players. Lads will probably be out of the squad by next year.
Like most channel's that show Sport in Ireland . Weak and Greedy hosts , commentators, and cheap pundits been bought too lie , off the hed, rte , virgin, awful camera work for every game ,

Honestly - what is Matt Williams still doing on this pod?

To blood youngsters for the world cup each new player need at least 20 caps by the time the world cup is played

@@ConorOLeary-rl4bs Very true.The really good players play and then cant be dropped Prendergast may become an example .
Er no... Italy drew with France Beat Scotland and beat Wales. And no Aboud is not coming back. Poor research
Chance to bring in a lot of younger players for ireland when established players are on lions tour.

Like they are every year
They might even win !
Same as always or at least when we've been the favourite
If Ireland play like Leinster.... no championship ...or maybe triple crown .. I think they may be picked off eith a kicking game and speed.
Would you prefer Ireland to play like one of the other three provinces that lose all the time, so?
I think the exact opposite of this. The 22/23 Ireland attack was so good because it was built on the work that the Leinster players were doing every week with Lancaster.

Ahearn has done nothing.. munster wouldn't start him if all fit

Mouvaka?

Whereas all the old Irish guys will DEFINITELY be out by the next few years, with nobody of quality to follow.. crisis incoming

Maybe they start doing there job right,
