Does this mean Carberys short term future at 15. He may benefit.

Strong backrow and back 3.

 

[Amiga500]

Or long term.

Keep Ross Byrne at 10 for his positional play - Carbery can join the line as either a 2nd 5/8ths or alternative first receiver from full back (or of course cut a line further out). It'd certainly be worth looking at.

At least this thread the OP put some effort into the first post, unlike The Beta Bro

I actually had.h34r:

Match times, TV schedule, previews, the lot. Then deleted it.

True although I like Carbery as a 10. I just hope he doesn't go down route of Madigan basically being a utility back. He needs to nail 1 spot and dedicate to it. I've no fear he can join line effectively as a 2nd receiver or as you say a 1st receiver at times.

Slightly overkill on that team imo.
Also confirmed that Robnoxious and Heaslipped in the warmup will be out for Leinster's QF

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

I wish I was called Don Barryman sounds like a really lame mob boss.

 

[Groundhog]

Dion Barryman is such a side villain like the penguin.

 

[munstermuffin]

They'll miss SF too it seams.
That may kill Heaslips bid for Lions and enhance Robs chances of starting in Japan tour

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Amiga comes in at tye business end of the season and starts making threads... If only he was original, the rest of you are pathetic, this subforum would be nothing without me!

It really shouldn't, if anything given how people went when Faletau and Vunipola were injured his hype should increase exponentially.

That's it you see. Business end of the season is when the big players come out and show why they are rated.

The proverbial dirt trackers like yourself are then given a tackle bag to hold (in this thread).

Whatever dude, your thread is already being tainted by talk about a pointless tour, my threads are that pure blue crystal.

Your thread is an empty pure blue crystal... almost hollow.

Does it echo in there? (like louder than the echo in the RDS when Leinster come onto the pitch?)

Nah Leinster blare some tired rock song like thunderstruck in lieu of actual cheering or atmosphere in that dated pony enclosure.

Possibly was just basing it on in a position where it's very tight he hasn't a platform for final stretch whereas others have. And on hype I'm feeding in to Gatland obviously rates Faletau hugely and Billy V has a platform with Europe QF etc
