I’d agree. Happy with the squad. Thought Gunners might sneak in.

Osborne too.

James @gortoshay1.bsky.social · 14h

Yes. To be fair it looked avoidable.

All in all that’s solid.

That is a nice squad, I like that squad

James @gortoshay1.bsky.social · 15h

Lord no. That’s a given.

James @gortoshay1.bsky.social · 15h

You’re the first to threaten that in fairness. Fair play.

Ah the old Munster sacrifice to the rugby Gods.

In the 42 Leinster-Munster matches since that 2009 semi-final, there's been average attendance of 32,440 per game

"So it remains the biggest rivalry in world rugby below Test level over the last two decades"

I officially declare “Squad announcement day” open! . Let the infighting begin. Oh by the way, your man wasn’t chosen because of provincial bias.

Cheers Gaz. Makes sense. Really enjoy the games as like with the u20s they’re not so polished that you get some really good battles.

I’d rather sacrifice some of these internationals and blood players than win all four using the same 23 two years out from a WC.

Working class Dublin schools were brought to the Coca Cola factory where they used us to taste new potential products. Our reward was cans of coke in the q&a session.

Six Nations season starts earlier every year. It’s getting too commercial in my opinion.
