#2 - aka as the McCaw effect

He's on a different level isn't he - having them at home is a big help but he could still make the difference out of nothing!

A week to go until the best time of the year! Ireland and France favourites for me but Scotland could be the darkhorse. Wales for wooden spoon, Gatland seems to have totally lost the hearts of that squad - they usually get their emotional intensity spot on, they could capitulate this year #6nations

Not sure if it's just me but the Spotify podcast seems to have a lot of audio gaps. Maybe one of the mics wasn't working? No sound after the usual intro

Rotten game that. Especially the second half. Scrum was a positive, lineout a mess - Slimani looked very good at scrum and Ryan had a great game in the loose. Onwards!! #leivscle

Was that thinking about our back three? I think it's a great point. Lowe, Hansen and Keenan when fit, play - wouldn't hurt them or the squad for a change up there even when everyone is fully fit. Farrell has always expressed an enjoyment of chaos & adversity - wonder will Easterby continue that...

Totally agree re lack of pace in our backline. O’Brien(s) missing from your list - if they stays fit would you have one of them in for Hansen? I’m not sure Hansen’s occasional magic is enough to compensate for lack of top end speed

Agree with all of that - Frawley should be Leinster’s starting 10. Only way he learns is by being given plenty of game time

Yeah, I really like Frawley - he just needs to stay on his feet a little more often & not get sucked into using his own running abilities as much. All 3 are quite different 10’s which is great but might make our attack inconsistent if we chop and change a lot

Frawley for me - covers more positions so adds to our versatility for one, as well as being a bloody good 10 in his own right. Prendergast did very well overall, with a few mistakes that could be exposed by a better prepared team next weekend

When you have two scrum-halves on the pitch.

The world needs to be more like the Fijian rugby team. Such a fantastic display of their culture and respect. Same with Miggledie doing his greeting showing our culture. Love to see it #irevfiji

Maybe I'm just too focussed on personal information & the desire to use that ethically whilst maintaining good levels of privacy & protection, to see the wider issue here.. 2/2 #DUAB

Trying to get my head around the UK's Data Use and Access Bill and my prevailing thought is, what problem is this trying to fix? I understand the concept of trying to be more "open source" on non-personal data, but I can't recall hearing business leaders complain about this topic. 1/2

To the outside backs I’d make. Give Pren as much experience around him as possible and see how he fares. Should he another cracker of a game though!

Interesting. Seems harsh given how poorly the entire backline played against NZ. Wonder will he look at Osborne & Henshaw at centre. Ringrose was very good but Osborne made such an impact off the bench. Move Hen out to 13 where we know he can be just as good. That’s maybe the only change

Good thread. Is Frawley injured or only fit enough for the bench? I’d start Pren & have Frawley on bench again - he covers more positions than Crowley. I get your point about our forwards but their time can be managed in the URC, I doubt Farrell will make wholesale changes given our lack of cohesion
