Three Red Kings
Analysing Munster and Irish Rugby.
- A 3000-word preview of Ireland's Thursday night battle royale with a dangerous (and mysterious) France side in Paris. Where we've been, where we are, and where we might go. It's boom or bust for me. www.patreon.com/posts/green-...
- I enjoyed this B&T podcast — brought to you by @ntesit.bsky.social — going over all the stakes ahead of this Six Nations opener. www.patreon.com/posts/blood-...
- IRELAND NAME TEAM FOR #FRAvIRE THIS THURSDAY Brought to you by @ntesit.bsky.social
- Furlong not making it had a knock-on effect on Edogbo's selection imo. Convinced Farrell to double down on experience and backrow cover. Either way, this has the feel of a long, long night in Paris this Thursday night.
- I think McMillan will look at one, maybe two new coaches in the forwards. I'd see Cronin going back to the academy pathways.
- Deep in their hearts, Paddy and Joe know where they really belong.
- Although I have to say, "we need to be Leinster fans to fit in here" is absolutely frying me.
- We had no right to be anywhere close there. If it wasn't for a diabolical performance at halfback and on the wings defensively in the first half we could have won that. Tough night for some guys. Showing they have no business at this level, unfortunately
- Evan O'Connell, Sean Edogbo, Gleeson, Quinn and Wood — they are the thing tonight from that, with the bonus point. The squad needs a huge overhaul but you fundamentally cannot win a game with a halfback performance like that.
