Leinster Team Talk Thread (Love you Furlong time)

People calling for Frawley at 10 are mental, he’s a 12 who can cover a few positions, he’ll never be a proper 10.

We just need to pick between one of the Byrnes next season and give Prendergast the rest of the URC games, and just persist with it for another year.

He's not a really good 12 either. His USP is bring capable in a few positions including 10. That's why he's in the squad. He's not good enough nine any single position to be the best or second best in any single position.

I think he and the Byrnes are good and it would be unusual to let them go, but they're not actually good enough for the top of Europe. Nobody is enthusiastic about playing Byrne or Frawley. They're competent, but aren't going to be a real point of difference at this level. They won't manufacture something brilliant or drag the team forward. And that's often necessary from a 10.

Tough loss.. think a few selections went wrong.

There was a rumour going around before the game that Ross Byrne was out.. sadly it wasn't true.

Will Connors hasn't exactly set the world alight and starting him ahead of JVDF doesn't seem like a great idea. Seems pointless really.

Jenkins over Ryan. Poor call. Hopefully Rg is a better option next year.

Selecting Mcgrath on the bench and leaving him there for an hour and a half. Madness. Need to move onto gunne ASAP.

What's healy doing on the bench if he's not brought until the 88 minute? Should be replaced by Milne

They should have gone 6 3 with Jimmy o brien on the bench so they could take off Lowe, for me Lowe shouldn't be a guaranteed starter next year. Maybe Jordie fills in here next year.

How was Ross Byrne not taken off sooner? It's like he plays with a parachute out behind him he's just not fast or dynamic enough.

Ross just doesn't cut it at the real top top level. Good professional. great 2nd or 3rd choice 10 but Leisnter can't win a champions cup final with him calling the shots. They have to move on from him. im not saying frawley is the 100% the solution but at least he can take a ball to the line. Was unlucky with the drop goals

. Can't really blame him seeing as Lesinter don't start him at 10..

What's Goodman at? Really have been objectively meh all season.

Right you are. Time to move on from a few of these lads.

Nope need to put Barrett at 10, with Prendergast as back up and starting games also

Leo has to go. Been there since Bilbao which was a Racing drop goal from disaster, but he hasn't figured it out since. We've never been outplayed in any final since but we're missing something, and Leo ain't it. We have an amazing squad.....

Why send them on loan? Leinster either wants them or it doesn't. I think leinster needs to replace them with a top tier 10. But they don't have a replacement so they either need to buy one or wait and hope Prendergast grown into the answer.

They've surely shot their shot on big signings for next year with Snyman and Barrett. So they can really only hope for Prendergast to come good, and that's a few years away if it ever happens

we can talk about a million "ifs and buts" we can have no complaints ,if after 100 minutes we didn't have one clear line break we are deficient in that department,Lowe is a legend but embarrassingly slow,Lamour is a magican who showed how the trick worked,Henshaw is as brave as the day is long and Osborrne is definitely big and maybe good ,but we aint got a Drico or a Darcy and we need one,

Nope. We've now lost 4 of the last 5 finals since 2018 now. That's incredible. The only constant is....

Leo has probably blown urc for us again with putting all eggs in 1 basket, but i definitely want to win it
