Just saw a stat that genuinely shocked me. Our 10s simply haven't played enough rugby. Here's the comparison.

Professional games played:

- Fin Smith (23 years old) 127

- Harry Byrne (27 years old) 107

- Sam Prendergast (23 years old) 63

We're acting shocked that our tens have weaknesses in their games when they've played significantly less rugby than a 23 year old English fly half who is finding his way himself.

It's genuinely insane how little rugby Irish players actually play.

McBryde confirmed it's a reoccurrence but not as bad as the original injury.

Unclear whether he'll be back at all this season, but you'd think it probably rules him out of Europe completely at least as even if we get to the final it'd be on 23 May (6 week recovery)

Soroka called out as a lock on the bench is interesting.

If Baird is out for Toulon and possibly beyond, as well as Deegan suspended, might be lining him up to fill the bench spot.

Also, sheer size of O'Tighearnaigh even in the team pictures next to Deeny!
