And Warwick has played well at TH against Cian Healy in that one game.

And yet they're not even willing to give him a shot on the bench so far.

I’ve heard a few people praising young Doak, but IMO we need Monsters. We need big, fast hard hitting Beasts who ‘Keep getting Up’. Lads brought up on Liver and Bacon with spuds. Lads who can rip the tyres from a John Deere with their bare hands .
We’ve got baristas and Cup-Cake snowflakes who never missed a Sunday Service and who’ve never spent the night in Donegal Pass Station. They couldn’t bate their way outta a wet paper beg and they don’t like it up em

At scrumhalf? :scratch:

I wouldn't mind if they just had a nice pass that brought people onto the ball.

No, scrum half is the least of our worries.
The Beasts are for our Powder-Puff Pack.

Matty Agnew scored a hat trick for Ballymena yesterday, looked very impressive. As did Azur Allison, big lump of a lad and very dynamic, I have high hopes for him.
Imagine both will be in the academy next year.

What makes that even better is that Canada lost to Munster and that the Ulster 19 side was mainly club players
