Yes,but look at recent results.they lost today to Cork Con with a pack including Strauss,Trevor Hogan and Des Dillon plus all the backs you mention.By the way,where is Gary Brown,surely he would add vital experience to that backline.

Rumour (over the Summer) was that he had joined The Chaps.

I know their results haven't been amazing but can you imagine what they'll be like in a year or so.

I was at the Cork Con v Rock game. Rock were v unlucky, second Con try was more of a knock-on than downward pressure. Rock had a penalty in front of the posts at the end of the game for the draw but Madigan hit the post.

A draw would ahve been a fair result, cracking game.

V good standard in the AIB League. Again this weekend three of the games in Division 1A were decided by less than seven points.

Good point, they've really let their standards drop in the last 2/3 months. I wouldn't have Brown in there ahead of many players except Morris, who I really don't think has shown any promise in a Leinster jersey. I'm very surprised to see him being picked at full-back ahead of Conway or Madigan (who could move there with James Power coming in at out-half) because he's pretty dodgy under a high ball.

Great to see so many young lads getting regular game time at a reasonably high level however; it's not beyond the bounds of possibility that a similar back-line could line up for the Leinster full team some day.

What do people make of our reserve scrum half throwing the ball directly into touch after 80 minutes and conceding a penalty which Young Munster converted to win the match by a point?

I think thats actually only a free kick for throwing the ball out of play deliberately

It happens. I was playing a match at the start of the year and our scrummie did it.

The reason I raised it is that I am old enough to remember(just about) that Ireland lost out on a triple crown in the 1960's because one of our players passed the ball directly into touch. I think it was against England and they landed the kick to draw the match at 9-9.

our scrum-half, Brendan Sherry from Terenure, threw the ball into touch and Bob Hiller put over a monster penalty form the touchline. I can still remember it in vivid black and white!!
