Nash has been grand, he doesn’t look quite international class to me. Hansen has a much higher ceiling, though I haven’t seen him this season so I don’t know what his form is like.
James Ryan is guaranteed his place too. Calls lineout now and scums tight head.
Beirne a very average six too.
It’s an awful boring Irish team.
Hansen has been out for the bones of the year. Hasn’t done much since coming back to warrant a starting place,
Probably not good for Munster, if he isn’t getting a start now he probably never will and his lack of versatility hurts him for bench roles. Munster are going nowhere in the medium term and he is in career form, not sure of his situation but he should grab a payday somewhere. Munster will always be there for him
Just goes to show that Nash hasn’t really convinced.
How?
Hansen is a better player than Nash. It’s as simple as that really.

Hansen has been average enough tbh since coming back, but he’s obviously going ok in training.
The all blacks aren’t all that. I suspect we will beat them in a tight enough game.
They aren’t as good with McKenzie starting at 10.
I heard he’s flying in training

Just realised that there are more Connacht players than Munster players in the starting 15 and there are none from Ulster. Changed times.

Bundee isn’t even the best 12 at Connacht these days
The actual Munster squad is probably only the 6th or 7th best in the URC, with a Beirne or Crowley type bailing the team out. Badly need a few of the young lads to train on.
I’d say it hardly matters who plays for Ulster, they’ll fold when it comes to it. The promised development of a few of their young players from a few years ago just hasn’t transpired. It doesn’t matter who you are, how has a Peter O’Mahony have so much a better career than an Ian Henderson?
Are there no better bench options than 37 year old Cian Healy and 35 year old Conor Murray??
It’s great progress from Connacht the last 5 years or so
