Louis for me, but impressive performances all round the park. Paddy just gets better and better.

Wouldn't argue with almost anyone. Not Ruan's best game, and given Charless's sky-high standards, and the fact he'll have many MOTMs, I would rule them out. But lots of options esp AOC, Reidy, Pads and Jared. High standard all over and subs made an impact.
They way we are going through centres, Louis will get plenty of game time.

I guess Ludik is a pretty decent Bench option to cover the back 3, even if he's not in the starting 15. Certainly, if all our backs are ever fit at the same time there are going to be some disappointed guys. May have to look at playing Charlie and big Stu in the backrow :D

Girrid, a class above and the best full back in Ireland including Charless. Just as long as he sticks clear of that 13 shirt I'm close to his biggest fan. Utterly brilliant full back.
NEVER MOVE ON. Years on, I cannot ever watch Ireland with anything but indifference, I continue to wish for the imminent death of Donal Spring, the FIRFUC's executioner of Wee Paddy & Wee Stu, and I hate the FIRFUCs with undiminished passion.

Guys will not be disappointed if they know exactly what is going to happen and why. Squad rotation is in everyone's interests and the players know that. It's a long season.

I love that Kissy couldn't give a feck what Joe thinks. Payne is a 15 and Hendo is a 6. Les is ruthless and has no time for his former colleague.

Looking very like our euro team (all being fit) Jared at FB, Charles and Trimble on wings, and Louis on the bench. No space for Craig or Tommy (if and when he makes it back).

Hope we play the academy in Europe. I couldn't care less about the SDC.

But Snipe our strength in depth is now at the point whereby we can challenge on two fronts :roll:

I'm telling you, we can be brill, might not be, FFFS we've already plumbing considerable depths on the injury front and the seasons a pup, but something is going to happen this year that few expect. Trust me, I'm an expert.

Just think of what might be when another 6 or 7 top class players become available. Don't underestimate what Ruan means to this group of players, this year is a mission. If we arrive at March to May with a reasonably intact squad there is no team better equipped in this league.

We are going to canter this league, home semi and no better chance to win the muthafucka.

SDC? Don't know, don't much care, but we can do damage in what looks a decent pool of talent but all beatable home or away, Clermont included. But it's a sideshow.

Agree. For a guy who was designated as peripheral by the media and others, he's shown the best early season form of most of our fit backs. Whilst I wouldn't suggest all that "first name on the sheet" hyperbole, given the positions he can cover so well, our injury list and coming AI's, he's getting close.
Ludik Got my vote, but Cave was also top drawer, often sublime in his lines of running and getting the ball moving across that back line. To me 12 & 13 is Cave plus a.n.other.

He is becoming a vital squad member to us and provides the sort of quality in squad depth that we have lacked in the past.

Hasn't been mentioned yet but the same can be said of Reidy now who was terrific and you can't win in Glasgow if your 7 doesn't front up.

Very hard to call but in truth it was one of those 1-15 efforts so I couldn't actually argue against anyone getting it.
Apart from if it was a Glasgow player.
Rule 1 of appointing the mom is they generally come from the winning team.
Caveat was that Weegies back row was down to Da Kidz. Scarlets back row asked more questions if him.

Ludik with Reidy the next closest for me. Although it was one of those games where the option of "the pack" would have to be seriously considered for laurels rather than any one player.
