I was counting Ferris as being around the same time as Best. He was probably first choice well ahead of him. He is younger though.mildlyinterested wrote:Iain Henderson and Stephen Ferris.
Re: Munster 2017 -2018
What about players like Chris Henry, Jacob Stockdale, Luke Marshall, Stuart McCloskey, Paddy Jackson and Stuart Olding, all of whom post date Rory Best's debut? Not fair on Ulster not to acknowledge the latter two when it was non-rugby reasons that got them excluded from consideration for Ireland. I may have overlooked some others.

Not forwards bar Henry who is around the same vintage as when they were producing forwards. And I was talking about forwards.
Which is long, long ago.

Pretty large injury list for Munster going into start of the season.

Re: Munster 2017 -2018
We've all done it. Thankfully only near misses in recent times. Was it Tadhg Furlong that did it last season?

Re: Munster 2017 -2018
Confirmed to be a two year deal - anyone want to speculate on that?
Re: Munster 2017 -2018
Well he was under contract to Leinster when he was shifted down there. So he can be shifted back if Jonny retires after the WC.

Clearly a negative for Leinster but this move has the potential to be enormously positive for Carbery, Munster and Ireland.
Be nice to see a repeat of this with Sexton getting an earful this time.
