It happened pretty much in front of us and to me it looked like a young player who was engaged and trying to make something happen and a faded legend who was slower in both thought and deed than he should have been.

There was no apparent hunger in Tommy's play, he wasn't at the races all night. Maybe he'll be more up to speed this week.

He had been injured and missed the start of the u20 6N. Then upon his return he is straight into the team. McNamara and POC must rate him at least.
I have my own tv channel, what have you got?

Well I guess would you start a 19 year old 13 ahead of Luke Marshall or Darren Cave?

Totally agree but I was thinking more on the lines we only an injury away from needing him for bench
