It was not contentious to select him
Nope, Keenan just had two errors today that you'd usually not see from him
The IRFU need to invest in a few tubs of Stick-Um.
my subjective opinion on a Boards forum is that it was a contentious selection. I fully respect your view to the contrary.
Lovely strike by Prendergast that time
my point is I do not think he is not ready for Heineken cup yet never mind international- he needs time. Saying that if he gets time with Leinster at 10 and performs well between now and the 6 nations than I would have no problem with him starting games in the 6 nations. Farrell said he deserved to start today and Crowley and Frawley had alot of improving to do - using farrells own logic most of the forward pack would be dropped after today for our opening 6 nations game.
Ah here, it was the most contentious selection choice. It's pretty much dominated the media all week
Nice kick by SP. he has a very good range.
2 blatant attempts to slow the ball in that attack just let go.
Gibson Park now getting in on the unforced errors with an aimless kick
Another no arms from sualini ?
That was surely a knock on by Keenan
Think there was a planned move gone wrong.
Keenan has been outstanding today
Keenan keeping us in the game. More subpar handling there too. SP with some good touches again and a cracking conversion.
Beauty
Clear knock on by Keenan in build up.
Amazingly it wasn’t, no idea how he managed it.
Great take from Keenan from a good kick by SP. He had a very ponderous moment where he got emptied in midfield before that.
Soft defence from Australia there, Doris walks in unopposed
Very lucky there with that blatant knock on from keenan we will take it!
You can skip a level. Happens in every sport. The pathway is not set in stone.
really need to keep up the intensity.
Fair play to them for recovering mentally from a dogsh1t performance in the first half to show a different level of concentration and intensity so far.
How we could do with them three lads on the pitch today
No hiding there with Sam's tackle on Bobby V
You forgot to mention his cross kick for Lowe.
The non-knock on by Valetini evened up with that one from Keenan.
How long for Henderson to give away a daft penalty?
Harsh on TOT there
