    I’d say not one of them is called Conor by his mates

    Can anything be taken from the fact conor mckeon is starting with Mitchell in the bench?

    That Mossy Lawler is trying to maximise the number of Connors in the starting team

    Wouldn't read much into it. Mitchell started last week. Just rotation I'd say

    Mitchell wasn't great against Munster A, mind you neither was McKeon when he came on so probably just rotation

    Has anyone seen much of Cian Huxford? Been in quite a few Eagles teams now, starting when he was barely turned 18. Missed Ireland 19s through injury last year I believe, wonder will he make 20s.

    He didn't stand out against Munster, but also didn't look out of place so who knows

    Our two best performers against Munster (Robb and Wilson) not playing - assuming this due to injury?

    Premier Sport saying Hickey out for Edinburgh, Van Der Walt starting apparently at 10
    Hickey has looked good so could be a boost

    Not much in the way of possession but great defence so far. Boyle with a savage steal at the tail of the lineout right on our line

    Clear from Cockerill's comments that they are targeting O'Donnell in the scrum.

    Defence very good so far but need to get hands on more possession.

    They've had all the possession in fairness and we've done nothing.

    No penalty at that lineout from what I can see.

    O'Donnell off. Found it tough going tonight.

    They never touched the lifter. Getting absolutely hammered by Davies in this half.

    Ya its a right of passage for a young prop to go through them. Especially for a lad who switched sides of the scrum. Conan will be better for this

    Fair play to mccabe tho. That was a lot better
