Leinster Senior Squad 2017/2018

[blockhead]

Yep John F is doing a fine job. How many scrums have we lost this season on our own put in?

[Raydollard]

More jobs needed for the boys - e.g. Mike Ross.

It's like an obsession- you asked so I feel I have to answer!!!

The answer is 2 (one away to Munster and the second at home to Zebre).

We're 121/123 in the league and 35/35 in Europe

On Mike Ross and his technical scrum knowledge, a few years back at the B&I cup final in Donnybrook against Jersey (I think?) we were getting hammered in the scrum early on, Ross and a good few of the senior squad were watching the game in the stand and Mike walks down to the barrier, calls over the water boy and gets a message to him, water boy runs on and gives the message, next scrum is rock solid, the one after that we completely reversed the momentum and started to hammer them.

"The lads look thirsty"

Nice!

Not sure what thread to stick this in, but anyone hear that James Ryan was with the senior team and kitted out at the England game?
Would be some vote of confidence in him if true!

Apparently not true according to his brother.

Joey Carbery was involved though. There was a glimpse of him in the brief IRFU video synopsis of the match plus preps.

Yeah big difference between Carbery and Ryan.

Is that just the ball being lost against the head or does that include penalties on our own put in?! Insanely impressive stats anyway.

We need more jobs for the boyz if this is the results we're getting

It would be madness to let Ross leave and all his knowledge with him.

I like to get to the matches early because the nerd part of me like to watch warm ups and preps etc.

Joey was strapped up and taking a full part in warm up.

There was no sign of James Ryan. But I wasn't looking out for him.

I also saw Jamie had heavy ankle strapping as he did his odd pre-match barefoot walk on the pitch.

Agree 100%. There are jobs there. I can see him taking on an Schools/ Underage/ Academy scrum coach role next season with Leinster.

He's worked under Greg Feek for 7 years now. Would be good to see that relationship continue

Academy scrum coach, it makes too much sense for it not to happen..

Would still be around pro setup and would be working with upcoming academy props and underage props..

and there are quite a few coming through.

Totally agree. There is a chronic shortage over all the island for good scrum coaches, letting Mike Ross go somewhere else would be ludicrous

The one v Munster they definitely won it against the head - can't remember what happened with the one v Zebre (sorry)

Thank goodness it's not just me - always like to be in my seat an hour before kick off.

Oh and Jamie's strapping - that's not actually unusual for him. Every time you see him do his barefoot walk he's quite heavily strapped. Always thought it was funny that he walks around in wet grass with his strapping akreadybin place.

Rossy be up for a Player/Scrum coach season? He can still do a job even though he was born in the 70s

he is already scrum mentor anyway..

[johng]

I meant would he play on for another year rather than just coach.

I was under the impression he would be playing again next year, how much who knows..
