Yes because if was made clear he was behind carberyā¦an injury prone player with very sporadic patches of form.
They could have blown smoke up his hole and tried to keep him on the hook, which Leinster do very very well with fringe playersā¦but they didnāt
Are there not dedicated rugby threads for this scutter to be discussed in?
He was offered a huge amount of money and to be an international pretty much immediately. What Munster would have been offering him as a third choice outhalf would have come nowhere near. A key point of difference to players on the Leinster books was his dual citizenship which meant he was straight into the international squad. I donāt think any amount of plamĆ”s was going to overcome that, pretending otherwise is a bit silly.
This is the problem when you have lads pretending to hate rugby asking what channel the game is on with this thread.
Yep. Itās hardly equivalent to a Harry Byrne, for example.
Harry Byrne is no use.
He is a grand player. But if he had the Healy option Iād say heād have already been gone which is the point you are making.
Iād say Healy is making double what he is.
I get you. And yeah, exactly that.
Think Healy is making north of Ā£200k including incentives for Edinburgh/SRFU, which heāll easily increase upon renewal. Himself and the agent played a blinder, they knew his limitations as a player and cashed in on the nationality advantage Healy had. Itās nice to see a sportsperson given proper guidance and maximising their earning potential rather than holding out on hope alone.
It would have been like if Shane Geragthy had switched to Ireland in the mid 2000s.
Ireland just produces a lot more players now than a Scotland.
The Masterson brothers formerly of Connacht really missed a trick in this regard. I think Sean even played for Scotland underage and when they came sending out feelings a few years back he was of the belief he could make a breakthrough to the Irish setup if he had a consistent run of games. Now heās playing in the French second tier whereas he couldāve gone to Scotland and made a few bob for himself off a couple of caps.
Eoghan. But it was merely a means to an Irish end. His father was Scottish but that was never where he wanted to be. He did quite well all things considered, and was very unlucky to have such a catastrophic injury the year Connacht went all the way in the league, he was in the leadership group at that stage. Heās a grand life in France now and is happy with his lot, wife and child and living in south of France.
Poor Sean wasnāt so lucky with injuries and has left the game now.
Two grand chaps.
Iāve been out-rubbyād ffs
Worse. Out-Laoised.
Huh? Some were trying to convince us that the Six Nations is a bigger tournament than the World Cup after Irelandās failure in the latter in the Autumn.
Secondary only to the Olympic 7s

These Munster lads are demented
Sure heās dead right. Mean while the irfu facilitate Leinster in stock piling their players and have little or no success to show for it either.
Again, the likes of Harry Byrne would be on a fraction of Healy.
Stockpiling is hilarious though given that one of the ones exiting is a Leinster product, one of the most exciting in world rugby, who Munster ruined.
Munster didnāt ruin him. He was never right after schdimt played him injured in the 2019 World Cup.
