I’d say the workload of someone like Heaslip would be similar enough to Vunipola now for example. Maybe BV played few extra games this season but the top English players get plenty rotation as well at this stage as club contracts subsidised by RFU
Heaslip played 31 games this year. Which I would consider a lot. Maro Itjoe played 28 by comparison (and won all 28)
Ireland U20’s beaten 45-21 in the World Cup Final by an outstanding England side.
Was there today. A very very strong englandside, but was proud to be Irish. They left absolutely nothing behind them. A really gutsy performance against a bigger older looking team.
Ireland have more scope for improvement both individually and as a team.
Fair play to them, they died with their boots on.
The important June test matches about to get under way in Auckland as New Zealand face France in the first test of the Steinlager Series.
Great start from France as they mug the All Blacks off for an early try.
Ireland will win next years World Cup. For the first time ever we have the best squad on the planet.
Crotty should have gone left and attacked teddy Thomas.
They would if they could get rid of Schmidt between now and then
Yes get rid of one of the finest coaches on the planet 
Lot of road to be travelled before Éire name a panel never mind proclaim they will have best squad.
Northern Hemisphere teams winning in the South is rare too. Big call by you.
Why🤔
Is it 9 different ads painted on the pitch here?
France are infuriating. Basics are poor and their fitness being exposed already less than half hr in
Yep.
GAA are missing a trick.
It’s a glorified piss up for those frog eating cunts.
Thats fucking pathetic out of Medard
First international in June best time to face New Zealand. They invariably deliver their worst performance of the year in this fixture. France regain the lead on 36 minutes, 11-8.
Morgan Parra is class
And again. Phenomenol
That was some try saving tackle from Parra. This presumably has to be disallowed.
