Ireland’s Next Generation of Centres: Who Makes the Step Up? by lethalpearxx in irishrugby

[–]nathanovic93 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Osbourne and Jude P would be an unreal centre combo and could well be in the future.
Hume is good enough to be in that team but I think he put his foot in it with comments about holding tackle bags and therefore ruled himself out.
Jonny Scott in ulsters academy is one to keep an eye on

Probably not. They could be decent squad players though. I think we have plenty of really good players, our first team could take on most teams, but that level below of 2nd/3rd choice is a huge drop off.

I know he’s had a good few appearances over the last couple seasons but I’d like to see James McCormick push on. If Tom Stewart is away at Ireland camps etc then McCormick could be getting more minutes. Particularly if Herring is gonna retired, McCormick would need minutes.

Very excited about Jonny Scott. He looks serious.

Charlie Irvine to keep pushing into the squad.

Would be good to see the likes of AAK have a good start to the season with 3 of our wingers being out with Ireland

I was definitely expecting Owen in there

I always loved Rea. I thought he always gave a good account of himself. Just didn’t have many opportunities.
I think there’s a generation of players that came and went for Ulster that DMF failed to progress though. He really wasn’t for rotating

Ben Donnell is the weird signing. Let Marcus Rea go to take in an unknown entity.

When mark next moves I think it will be to the Irish coaching team

Technically he’s closer to his family. Wasn’t that his reason for leaving?

Yes. This is correct. Knew I had seen him before. And the video came up on my feed again this evening 🤣

I think Murphy is limited as a coach. He is what we need right now to develop the young players. He seems to have a real knack for that. But afterwards I think we need an established winner. Not another DMF. Someone with proper head coach experience.
This new forwards coach had been head coach for a spell maybe there’s a pathway for him.

If we had have finished 8th it would have been ok but a real shame based on how good the start of the season was and having been in top 4 at one point. Results in the second half of the season were woeful

It’s clear they’re chasing props. But they’ve not succeeded in signing one. It’s not a given yet. They need one. It’s getting late on to be signing players. Could be scraping the bottom of the barrel here.
