Sorry, just want people on the Ireland thread that don’t read this thread know my opinion, I’ll stop

Carbery might start against Italy. Even then, it's a maybe.

There won't be any squad rotation for the Six Nations. Some players will come in and out but that's it. As usual. The Six Nations is commercially very important for the IRFU. Schmidt can't just throw games away.

Carberry very good tonight behind a dominant pack and Murray back in form
Rating him ahead of Sexton is far too premature

I’m not gonna lie, after the Castres game I wanted to murder him and thought he should go back to playing ail with clontarf , but his performances ever since then have been phenomenal, better than Sexton imo, he’s really improved since the castres game, let’s hope he can stay consistent

You Haven’t seen much rugby is you rate that as phenomenal

Watch Rog, Carter, Sexton, Barrett when in form and running a game....

Is it time to kick a few of the English clubs to touch and bring back more Pro14 teams

Another cricket score at home for a English team, why did they even risk capriani?

Johnny Farango

This is like Leinsterfans forum. So one-eyed it's incredible! Leinster are getting worried and more vociferous, it's amusing

Johnny Farango

Our Joey is doing great! Don't think he's missed a single kick since the Castres game. Scored a few tries too, the heir apparent

Johnny Farango

Archer had a huge game.

He must of listened to me when I DM’d him on instagram saying how disgraceful his kicking was after the Castres game

I had to I was so angry and I lost the plot, it was a bit too harsh and personal I probably shouldn’t of told him he’s a failure of a rugby player, but maybe him seeing that message actually made him play better, so it’s all good

How is it so ridiculous that I said Joey Carbery is better than Ross Byrne? FFS

Johnny Farango

Well Joey, was the apple in Leinster's eye. Then he went to Munster and then Ross Byrne became better than Joey (cos Joey was now a red). There, have I explained it to you?

Neil3030

Soooooo.... Munster won tonight, eh?

I missed the scores in the second half, but from what I did see, Murray seems to be back to his best, which is great to see, after his lengthy injury.

Explained it incorrectly

Joey is a 15, he was playing with Byrne last season......at the moment Ross is a better 10 than Joey.

If Paddy Jackson was still around Carberry would be 15 and playing at Leinster, Byrne would be back up to Sexton/Jackson.

Carberry has massive talent and could be huge, needs a lot more time playing at 10 to see if he can make it

Tigerandahalf

Most impressive about Carberry last night was his goalkicking. According to that guardian article he has converted 17/17 of his last goalkicks. The way he strikes the ball is very clean and through.

After that penalty miss away to Castres he has responded superbly. He seems to have a good attitude too.

I thought Andrew Conway was superb again. I hope he gets a run in the Irish team.

In fairness Gloucester were woeful. They must have knocked the ball on over 10 times.

Conway's a great player for us. Gutsy to say the least. Very fast out of the blocks.
But I disagree with the suggestion that he's worth his place in a green jersey.
Who do you put him ahead of? Kearney and Larmour for the full back spot?
Earls and Stockdale?

Not to get into Ireland discussion but he is clearly a winger for ireland....otherwise he would be playing 15 for Munster

Tigerandahalf

I feel he should have been tried at fb by this stage. He is the one guy who is safe enough but can offer something on the counter.

Keeping Kearney at fb will cost us down the line. Safe as houses but offers nothing on the counter.

Larmour can counter but looks dodgy under the high ball and as a last defender.

I thought Haley was average enough last night.

Kearney is the only one holding it together, it is because he can cover the whole back field the wingers can push up.....

lawred2

Kearney is only appreciated when he's not playing

Cba looking at this forum. Too many leinster troll accounts bigging up Munster. It's too obvious.

Wrong, Joey is miles better than Byrne.

Not a chance, Carberry would be bacuo 10.

Carberry has already proven he is a top class 10 and is part of the best half back pairing in Europe alongside Murray.
I didn't think Carberry would ever reach the level Sexton has achieved but now I'm thinking he might.
I think he has five MoM performances since the end if September and when you remember that the consistently brilliant Peter O'Mahoney is on the same team it's some achievement.

His kicking has been excellent all season with the exception of the Castres game which was probably down to him having a hamstring injury the weekend before.
Strange how no one really linked the two, most seemed to be happy at how bad he was.

Joey is a 10 that can cover 15. He was always 10 and will always be a 10.

I would also like to think that Joe and Graham Henry know a wee bit more than yourself when it comes to picking a 10.

Byrne is a solid 10, that is very good with the boot.
But stands too deep, which takes the pressure off himself but makes it harder for the outside backs. He needs to start attacking the line and be more like Sexton. In fairness to him he won’t cost you a game.

Funny because Joey did a podcast after the first NZ match and said he always played 15....he was playing 15 when Henry said he could be a future 10

Hence why Leinster always seen him as a 15....

He is the best half back pairing in Europe? Seriously

Based on what?
He has played 2 games in Europe with Murray and is now part of the best half back pairing? Losing one of those games

Watched the highlights just now. What a performance from Munster.

Murray is the best scrum half in Europe without any question. Carbery is at worst a top 10 out half, I'd put him in the top five right now. So as a pairing I'd have them as the best half back pairing in Europe.

Yea he played in the centre too and probably on the wing but he is a 10. That’s where he played when he was younger. That’s where he played for Clontarf. That’s where he played for Leinster at the start and that’s where he plays for Munster. That’s the position he was playing when Henry said he should be the future 10.
