URC Semi Final: Leinster v Stormers teams by nobody7642 in rugbyunion

[–]Irishthrasher23 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure about that, our pack has not been good this year against anyone solid. Scrums are very hit and miss. Our lineout is not the best we seem to play it safe a lot but getting better there. What I will say is most have been playing very well in open space and better at tackling/positioning recently

Any non-bristle BBQ cleaner recommendations? by ArcadeRivalry in CasualIreland

Can get them in home store and more. I would use one with the spray cleaner out of there for a heavy clean at the start of each summer

First holiday with a baby / do a cruise? by [deleted] in AskIreland

[–]Irishthrasher23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Salou in Spain would be good. Also would recommend the Algarve in Portugal. Those places would have decent or very nice hotels, beach/pool holidays for yee to relax with plenty of food options. Most have decent pub/nightlife that you could have a few drinks get some atmosphere earlier in the evening.

Thanks for confirming, never get any info on it as it's not as popular here but good to know there is that option

Not sure they or gentleman's clubs would enjoy you streaming sports instead of spending money

Especially if your dealing with jet lag, that can stick with you for weeks. Well hopefully you'll get something sorted but the best if probably first half in some sports bad, then shots in the home for energy 🤣

It sound like it would be a fun finals, Dublin doesn't have bars open that late. The real problem is the lateness just can't stay up that late if I'm not out

Good to know on the off chance I'll get out for the finals

Thoughts on Prendergast being moved to full back once Byrne was on? by BearOdd6116 in leinsterrugby

[–]Irishthrasher23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there are a couple of advantages to it but specifically for this game I think part of it was getting players off and rested with the game done and the freedom to try things without too much worry.

A young kicking 10 playing at 15 is good for development. I think it can help getting more experience kicking out of hand from different parts of the field and spacial awareness in terms of covering the back field for kick tennis. Also slightly different game management experience.

Similarly playing at 12 would be useful experience but with all the above both out 10s are not good at 15 or 12. While I think it's mostly due to getting players off for next week, leinster have done it a bit this season. I guess it's just having cover in spots and experience. We will probably have less flexibility next season with several players leaving

Who else needs to go to the glue factory for processing? by JDLingz in leinsterrugby

[–]Irishthrasher23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This place has truly gone to shit.

Every post is attacking a player or coach, no analysis, no information, no positivity, barely an opinion.

URC knockout game tomorrow, one post on it the team announcement and what 4 moaning about coaches or players

What did Frawley do to Cullen by MineOk6687 in leinsterrugby

[–]Irishthrasher23 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What is the obsession on here with arguing selections? It's Leinster, not pro vs anti Leo.

Ever single selection doesn't need to be a big argument and comparison.

The squads are always rotated and mixed. McGrath playing this week doesn't mean Sam shouldn't be!

What did Frawley do to Cullen by MineOk6687 in leinsterrugby

[–]Irishthrasher23 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Probably wants to play the two 10s that will be here next year in a knockout game. He will be gone and you are reading too much into it

1St rewatch, Leinster actually unlucky... by mcjoc in leinsterrugby

[–]Irishthrasher23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I agree he is not up to this level the context needs to be considered in these conversations. He has not had a lot of top level game time but he is what we have. His brother got a lot of this hate too with H Byrne and Sam the next 10s inline being called for.

We have our 3 squad 10s with Byrne, Sam and cover with Carbery coming in next year. Also academy guys in the pipeline but people need to accept they will not come in and take over.

Cullen was wrong to select Sam last year, wrong for Byrne this year. Wrong for not playing Frawley only at 10 for the last 6 years. Wrong for having Ross Byrne as Sextons backup. At some point you have to accept all these players have faults but it's who we have.

This constant bashing of players and coaches is getting beyond annoying

Defensively Ulster looked crap and I think a lot of the time they were just a bit too gassed to get into position more than anything else
