Genuine Hibs Fan Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 1 minute ago, Mark Connolly said: He'd get eaten alive defensively in the 12 channel. I'd agree on wing probably being his best position. His main issue (apart from his tackling) is that he's about 3rd or 4th best in about 4 different positions. He's an excellent bench option, but I don't think he should start in any of the positions he can cover. Yeah. I'm slightly delirious with the flu but I was thinking there he's the type of guy who Ireland and France maybe look at when they're 18/19 and go - that young FH/FB who's generally skillful, big, strong, very fast and hard to stop - well he's a back row now 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 I really enjoy the fact that Ntamack's dad was an absolute beast of a centre/winger, and Penaud's dad was an elegant, ball playing 10, while their sons are the other way round. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuine Hibs Fan Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Very good and well explained decision there by Jaco. Of course Darcy thinks the held up -> goal line drop is a poor change 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuine Hibs Fan Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 It's amazing how England can have such an advantage in pro teams and be left with awful options in some positions. Never going to stay fit but have to pick Manu when he is; big huddy Alex Dombrant at 8?! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're also number 1 in the world and have beaten all the usual big hitters in past year, it's hardly surprising there might be some expectations. Heaven forbid Scotland ever reach that level.

The entire Irish rugby media/social media reacted to Scottish people saying "we will really struggle to beat Ireland but we're really good" with thinly-veiled Kevin Keegan shit as if we were talking ourselves up. On the flip side, the couple of Irish rugby fans I'm pally with aren't like that at all and were a good laugh/magnanimous about last week, so I don't think it's representative of your "man in the street". To me it's mainly mental media stuff whereas ours often still acts as if we should be delighted to win more than the odd game 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
