He will have liked some of what he saw though in all likelihood the players he would want are likely not to be available for him. Likes of Seann and Nigel Elliot, Decky Smith and Keelan Molloy. Ronan Boyle had a decent game for St Brigids.

Thought Reuben Carleton had a good game also, putting aside his missed two point frees.
One of the stand out things from the Championship so far is that our established county players don't stand out. There are no real elite players in the county.

In matches to date very limited amounts of individual flair in forwards or one on one defending skills, mostly pulling and dragging, alongside a shortage of true pace (unless everyone is lightening quick!).

Systems and tactics to the fore and heading to the rut that Irishrugby has found itself with players being over coached from a young age.
