Theyâve reduced the first hit massively since 2007. Crouch, touch, pause, engage definitely contributing to a reduced initial collision.
Wood and Hayes impact wounds more severe than those who came after them hopefully. Not all danger removed obv but hopefully better long term

Matt Devine to Ulster is our worst departure since Henshaw. That lad will overtake Doak up there and get plenty of test caps.

He rates Murphy higher and Devine had attitude problems for the last couple of years when he was told his passing from the base was terrible. Thatâs an important skill when you have a soft pack like Connachtâs.
I was looking out for this fella after you posted raving about him but he hasnât been seen much, guess that explains why.
Murphy is a better player
Leinster will surely look for Murphy back

He looked very good in the first few games I saw him play but then didnât seem to feature much. I thought he was injured.
Is is Sixmas the guys call it?
