Ireland's brilliant forward options at the World Cup.

It's an opportunity, so how would you evaluate Ryan? We would think we have Tyke Byrne who can get back in there and those two have been great, you have Henderson who won the starting position and you have Joe McCarthy waiting. the wings, who would you rather face? What you should, um, the minimum or the bare minimum, if you looked good. I'll put it in simpler terms, what's the best about Ireland too, um again, it depends on the opposition, I'm not going to sit on the fence. but if you want it there waiting for a set piece, you are facing the South African team, it may not appear as much in the Loose, but it will probably give you what you need, it is more of a peacetime scrum, which obviously is not the basis of his game. game, so it's, they're all at a level where they could really be field horses, well, we said at the beginning that that's the five dollar swiss army knife, now you know, it's going to be interesting to see and I always like it or I always said I think Dogburn is a six, a genuine six, that doesn't mean you can play in the second row.

Yes, he has done a great job for the oil and yes, but also when he is a six, he just gets a lot more with that ball. which he's

brilliant

at, so if you can put McCarthy in there, who's what 120 barrels, I mean, that's it and you need that weight, especially against the South Africans, who will fight for the penalty, they're not fighting to get the ball that Just want. to push you back for a penalty, so that weight behind our very good front row will be a 10 if you burn there as well, it's a factor that coaches need to seriously consider.

I think he's fine. to have

options

, yeah, well, and he's

brilliant

, so we say who do you leave out. You have Ryan Bear, we haven't even talked about him. Everyone talks about him at the bank. You have Henderson. you know who's lined up, you've got, you've got all these others, yeah, Jack Carnan and then what do you do with Peter Armani? Because he was the six, so now that puts pressure on the players. So what does that mean? He goes out and performs. go out and perform, which is exactly what every coach wants, you want competition within your team, yeah, just a quick note, by the way, now that you mentioned the last row we were commenting on and Dave and Allen said it in the comments as well, You didn't see much. from Doris in some respects today and you pointed out when the guys made their point in the comments: this was not a game for a back row, it's a frustrating day for a back row because that's exactly what Alan was saying you did .

You don't get a chance to defend so if you can't defend you can't catch the ball to turn it over and then everyone stops and you're just running around all day doing nothing and it comes full circle if we probably would have seen even fewer burns of guy if he was in the second row because he wouldn't have gotten as much of the ball, you know, and today he got a little bit when he was on the edge. but that's why you probably want him deep, guess which hands have the ball and see what he can do, yeah.
