Damn it looks
Like Bundee is out of the Leicester game too

That’s Bundee out of the Leicester game ffs. To go along with Butler’s suspension.

And most of Rainbow Cup (2nd offence)

We have Daly as our only senior with 4 others are out

Arnold was due early April, can't come back soon enough

I hate the new interpretation of the rule when a defender can't tackle at all otherwise than conceeding a red
Rugby is no more about sanction of foul play, it's about sanction of unintentional situations

Well at least it looks like Genge will be getting a ban too

The cycnic in me is unsure, there seem to have been a lot of clips of high shots etc missed that never ended up being cited floating around.

To me it looks like unless the reffing team on the day catch it you've a good chance of getting off.

I think there will be enough volume about it, it was fairly filthy

Could be reading way too much into this tweet , but could we have Daly starting at 10 tomorrow ?

Wegians89 · 21-03-2021 12:56PM

Curious as to how papalii, porch and bod can all start ?

connachta · 21-03-2021 01:02PM

Big sign for next year for Tierney Martin ahead of Murphy

If Papali'i has a passport from one of the PI Nations, he's not counted as a Kolpak player.

Ssssh you want us to be disqualified from that game or lose it 20-0? Who cares if it happens we're in CC anyway:D

connachta · 21-03-2021 02:06PM

I think it's clear and obvious McAllister and Murphy won't be kept, but Papali'i and SOB 2.0 still have their chances

Very, VERY happy with this back-3 which is my personal prefered combination, Porch and BOD are talented you can see it anytime they touch the ball, Wootton finisher and Sullivan impact-carrier to complete

ShineyShiney · 21-03-2021 07:07PM

I think Murphy has been decent for a 3rd choice hooker. Unlikely to pass Heff or Delahunt but does the job when needed. The 3 of them have been fairly robust injury wise which means DTM hasn't gotten a look in, I haven't seen him play since the under 20's so no idea how he's going but I'd be a bit worried about only 3 hookers with 1 in the Ireland squad and 1 not far off if there's an injury and next cab off the rank an untested academy graduate. Think we need all 4

Doubt it there's Adamson pushing

freyners · 22-03-2021 04:55PM

Genge not cited, will be free to play for the challenge cup

Not overly surprising. Have you heard anything about the other academy players?

Wegians89 · 22-03-2021 08:10PM

Aungier out, McCoy starting and Bealham on the bench

Is tonight's game just on tg4 or anyone be showing it as bearla?

Wegians89 · 22-03-2021 09:17PM

Should have given it to wootton

thomond2006 · 22-03-2021 09:21PM

Beaut of a pass from Fitzgerald.

its_phil · 22-03-2021 09:22PM

Fair play to the Scarlets 15 having a go at tackling Papalli from there.

I’d have waved him in to be honest

CMcsporty · 22-03-2021 09:22PM

Marmion looks like a fire has been lit under him!

Papa looks in the mood!

MayoForSam · 22-03-2021 09:23PM

Their 15 didn't make much of an impression on Big Papa there

Actually felt sorry for their 15 there! He must have been a tad scared...

testtech05 · 22-03-2021 09:28PM

O Donnell has been a bit suspect so far. Few knock ons.

its_phil · 22-03-2021 09:28PM

Three knock one from BOD. He’s eager just needs to relax a little
