@5sZl1dX2: Irish by birth Munster by the grace of god

@damien reidy: having a daycent game against SF second team isn’t the same as doing it consistently at the hightest level like Keenan or Lowe have done for 3+ years

@adizlack93: oh look, a new Leinster puke

@adizlack93: I get lowe he’s been brilliant but where does this idea that keegan has been too come from, luke Fitzgerald nailed it when he said keenan walked out on his country to play 7s, and its not punishing keenan to reward Osborne for taking his opportunity, haley another lad unlucky not to get a shot.

@adizlack93: buddy he has been playing excellent now for the last 3 years … its well accepted that if your based IN LEINSTER you stand more of a chance , just look at Ross bryne as a example.
It’s not being sour it’s just a fact

@damien reidy: shane is a very good player who has no issue covering full back and 2nd centre which has bailed us out multiple times with our injury profile. However he doesn’t have the play making ability that farrell looks for in his wingers

@Cian Halley: Luke was right, also Luke has been telling everyone for a while that Daly is a super player, I feel he could add more then Stockdale as he has a all round game scores trys and creates quite a few

@scott casey: agree on all but the playmaking ability, He does have it his locker , I feel rugby is going back to speedster wingers and Lowe doesn’t have gas and hansen is not that quick if we don’t adapt we are going to struggle

@damien reidy: he’s really surprised me by how balanced and reasonable he is, I always pigeon holed him as a bit of a tw!t after the aki remarks 7 or 8 years ago but I really enjoy listening to him now

@Cian Halley: Luke has definitely grown into the job , I also thought it was not great what he said concerning aki and anyone in that situation but in all fairness, he has great knowledge and can listen to someone else’s point unlike the Prophet known as Jackman

@damien reidy: with the new kick chase laws I think what we need from our wingers will change over the next year. If he modelled his hame on Conway who was excellent at chasing and challenging kicks as well as being an amazing finisher then he could be in with a shout

@damien reidy: Yawn

@scott casey: that is a very good point , I feel Nash is very suited to it as well, and jimmy obrien and Jordan Lamour

@damien reidy: larmour had a very good season last year. His situational understanding has greatly improved making him much more of a team player rather than being a one trick pony and just trying to step back in against the grain. If he can prove that he is secure under the high ball then I’d be happy to see him in 6 nations squad. Hope Tommy o brien gets over his injury curse as he seems to have a nose for the tryline

@damien reidy: look little buddy, Andy Farrell is one of the most rugby men in Europe and his job depends on results. He’s choosing the team to get him the best results. Don’t play the Munster victim card as usual and consider is it the lack of consistent coaching at Munster a factor? That plus Munster players get far less exposure to top top level club rugby. AF has no allegiance to any province. His motivation is the success of the national team.

@damien reidy: well accepted by who? Munster fans I presume because it is a meritocracy as it should be. Maybe consider the fact that Munster players just aren’t that good. Reflected by 11th place in the URC. Beating 2nd string Stade at home literally means nothing. We can take this conversation back up when the knockouts start

@adizlack93: how do you figure that one out big man ?
They play in the same competition’s unless there is another one that we don’t know of ?

I have the greatest respect for AF have done since he was a teenager at Wigan – and the whole way through his career,
People are allowed to have a opinion on a chat platform if you like or not!
I was only stating a sentiment that is felt outside of The Dublin Massiff , and before you get so up set I have been to many a leinster game at donnybrook through the glory years of 99-08 when the shoe was on the other foot

@adizlack93: Also he has league winners medal and also the small fact of topping the league last year , your argument is pretty flawed and also I have the greatest respect for leinster- just not guys like you on your big I am horse

@damien reidy: Munster were knocked out in the last 16 the last few years whereas Leinster last 3 finals, means more top level club rugby. When I was a kid, Munster were the top team in Ireland and supplied the most players to the national team and nobody questioned it as it makes sense. Same applies here

@adizlack93: still the same competition …
And listen to some that doesn’t start with when I was a kid because it’s means you nappies at the time … go easy on the big I am because some days you will realise that we all want the same thing irish success on a international and provincial level…
One upon a time in the 90′s Ulster won the Heineken cup see where they are now

@Cian Halley: you left a few important details out so I’ll fix it up for you: Keenan went to play 7′s at the Olympics with the full backing of the IRFU and his head coach.

@damien reidy: I’m in my 30s you know what I mean. Yeah ofc but I don’t see why the same logic isn’t applied. Its not that hard to see that Champions Cup is a higher level and that’s the closest thing the AF gets to a trial run for some players and ofc if a team is getting through the knockout games more regularly and successfully in Europe (bar final I know) it puts them in the shop window more as they have proven themselves in more games. Just think that makes sense regardless of where you’re from. I think Daly is a good player btw and surprised he hasn’t been capped but who would you have dropped in the past? Lowe is on current world XV and Hansen isn’t in form but has been unreal for us in past. Haley had fb loved down so Daly couldn’t be considered there for Ire and Keenan was class

@adizlack93: I have no idea why your still banging on about the champions cup – it’s not even in question all the remake was about if he wore blue he probably got in a few more squads… based on playing in the leinster system.

I’m a huge fan of all the leinster squad especially keenan never question his ability, but somehow you did – maybe ease off on the firing from the hip it’s a bad look

@damien reidy: wha? what’s not a good look is playing the victim and making an argument that has no logic behind it. If you’re good enough to play for Ireland, you get selected end of story.

@damien reidy: huge fan of Keenan too but think Jamie Osborne might be a good shout too based on extra physicality, maybe Keenan to wing when Lowe eventually finishes up. All good options with Daly Nash etc

@Cian Halley: If you are quoting Lukey your argument is on shakes ground. Just because Keenan decided (and was encouraged) to play 7s doesn’t mean he should be dropped from the national team. Daly will get a chance in the summer, but it is not Keenan nor the colour of the jersey blocking his path… it is the lack of opportunities to shine in the CC over the last few seasons. If Munster can correct that l, he will defo get a chance on merit.

@Paul Ennis: yeah like Pendergast, Joe McCarthy, Gus McCarthy, Harry Byrne, Ciarain Frawley (the list goes on and on) shone in Europe before being called into Irish camp.
