    I think Baird is supposed to be one of the standout forwards, but these games are more about getting a look at as many players as possible. And if you’re referring to jack dune, he’s overage.

    They try minimise the leinster player playing leinster and the munster players playing munster. To try strengthen the opposition, reduce opposition familiarity and so on.

    I see that front row factory from Roscrea is still churning out the players.

    Who is Ryan Lomas was he substitute for the Roscrea SCT last season?

    not exactly a factory.

    especially when both of them were poached from the club game.

    Blackrock is a front row factory.

    3 Irish players from one SCT year is a factory. That and the amount of heifers they have produced in the front row over the years even if they didn't make provincial and international set ups.

    two of which they recruited from club teams at 15/16. it might be a factory if they developed them from day 1, they didn't.

    who? they've had two other irish u20s in the front row this decade, neither of whom were especially good.

    your basically saying Roscrea have been good at producing big props who have nothing other than their size going for them as rugby players. fantastic.

    Good point. Most of them have been imports. But you can't deny that they have turned out some hefty packs over the years particularly front row forwards be they imports or not.

    Munster pack dominated Irish pack until changes rang in after halftime. Collisions, contact area and most notably scrum, Munster were superior. Lineout let them down, ire much sharper in that regard.

    Ire looked most dangerous when going wide or playing off turnovers but got bossed in contact until about midway through 2nd half. Munster 6&8 had notably good games, Irish backrow seemed very lacking

    Ire depth really counted , big improvement when subs came in versus Munster subs not having as big an impact.

    Irish fullback Jake something lovely runner of the ball. Moved to 10 for injury cover but looked great at 15. Irish right winger looked a class act too. Everything that came near him, he made good of be it to hand or in the air. Irish substitute 15, small guy in headgear, very threatening when he came on, constantly looked for gaps and got on the ball.

    Ref didn't police offside line for either team so became bit of a free for all at times, difficult for either team to get through phases. Neither 10 had great game but Munster 10 had some lovely relieving kicks, great strike of a ball.

    Well contested game, number of Munster players outshone counterparts and a number of Irish subs put down a marker. Irish front row will be very disappointed in performance

    Is that Conor Hayes that was on the Irish bench not the Connacht one? Or do Munster have a different one?
