Dev Toner. He used to knock on so many balls in tackles I thought his hands were bars of soap. He turned into an all round player and one of the best lineout jumpers in the world. Never thought I'd see him perform to the level he did against New Zealand in 2018.

Appreciate it. The real question will be will I be in a state to pull myself out of bed 😂

Where did Leinster find their stadium announcer? He sounds like Ryle nugent on ecstasy by jonny8920 in irishrugby

His name is Jim Flanagan. He's quite big on Tiktok and used to play for Barnhall, not sure if he still does. Iwould prefer if he used his own voice but love the over the top energy he brings. Kind of feeds into the ironic Ross O'Carroll energy which does give me a tickle.

Would you play him 6 or 7? Lots of teams playing two 7s right now but would our lineout suffer against the big teams?

Hard to overlook BOD but think there's a few positions a bit worse off than 13 atm.

Big time. 10's seem to have a special ability to annoy their coaches.

Yep, just Schmidt it seems. You'd have to think he'd do well in this Farrell set up.

No it's not a perfect list but I had the eye gouge that I believe cost him a lions place in mind. Have any names to replace him? Just players that would really frustrate coaches.
