Bohan and Illo - Where to rank?
I'm still a bit stunned after the Connacht victory yesterday, just and incredible performance and win. And looking back at the run of URC wins our scrum has looked so solid with Bohan and Illo getting at least parity against some top class opposition. To my eye at least but I'm no front row expert!
Interested in thoughts on where you'd rank them (individually) against the other Irish props? Looking back now I wish Bohan had been thrown in to start the 6N! McCarthy has been very unlucky with the timing of his injury, Boyle too. Then Porter's niggles continue and his scrum play remains a question mark... O'Toole had a great cameo at the back end of the 6N and Milne is probably disappointed to not get more minutes but..
At TH Furlong will be in cotton wool outside of big games, Bealham is fine but getting on. Clarkson is rediscovering a bit of form... Jaeger is never fit, Wilson also on the cusp but could improve as a scrummager...
Perhaps I'm overegging them but I'll be damned if now isn't the time to dream about Connacht selections!
