The Rugby Thread (Part 2)

With only three second rows picked we have no need for Jean Kleyn.

More power to him. Ireland have three or four player better than him and he’s hardly one for the future. Good selection decision.

Jamie Osborne will be leinsters 4th or 5th choice centre for Leinster next season. He’s picked.

four of the lads picked ahead of him are older than him.

Any reason he might be picked?

Giving out there’s no new blood and you want 30 years olds picked and lads in their early 20s left at home if they’re from Leinster :joy:

4 of the 5 centres are older than him.

No idea why he’s picked because he won’t be playing much rugby next season with Henshaw, ringrose and jordi Barrett ahead of him.

Not even good enough for a squad.

Because they’re far better. You don’t really understand relative quality to age at all.

No they aren’t.

Frisch is a really good player and he’s younger too. He is improving all the time.

That’s a dumb comment. He’s clearly a player for the future.

You’re being silly now. Best of luck.

He’s currently 28 and at beat sixth choice for Ireland. He’s not a player for the future and you need to get over it.

He’s the third best and bundee aki is 34 going on 35.

And both ringrose and Henshaw have a hell of a lot of rugby played.

That’s how it works alright. Good point.

You want a 28 year old to be brought in as a player for the future to take over from, eh, a 29 year old.

FFS.

Blade is horrific the last 6 months. How the fuck is he in the squad?

He’s also 30.

I never ever said that.

And Frisch was excellent for Munster for two years and they wouldn’t cap him.
