Why Henshaw at 13 out of curiosity? In the past I would've said he's a better defender at 13 but not anymore. Think you'd also lose out on needed pace at 14 with TOB.

Personally think:
GR at 13>RH at 13
T'OB>GR at 14

I'll sound like a hater here but I'd also have Osborne at 23 over RH

I agree with most of your team but would rejig the props. I'm a big fan of the subbing on Porter after 25 minutes to have his engine at the end so would start Boyle and Furlong.

Byrne and Mcgraths form is also huge for the run in. Both have been razor sharp since December.

Whoops, read them as a completely separate projection rather than a total.

Monday morning brain in full swing, appreciate your work

Hi Miguel,
I'm sure you've explained this before, but what is it that makes up the projected future expenses?

Seems a bit of a harsh assessment. Soroka was very good, Mckee was massive in defense in the first half.

Was a messy game but most of the lads can be happy with their performances imo

I would add Morgan Moses to the list. If Wallace beats him out in camp then fantastic, but let's not bank on a breakout.

Also personally prefer Paulson Adebo at corner. Also wouldn't say no to Jevon Holland in a deflated safety market but that's a long shot

Toulouse have done that very well, worth noting that is not something Leinster or other provinces would be allowed to do, IMO.

The IRFU don't have any interest in signing a rising international star and developing him to block an potential Irish player for 5 or 6 years

Think of it like this, we won the 6 nations. We won a series in New Zealand and it's now normal that when any team including SA and NZ come to the Aviva we win.
If you only care about trophies fair enough,I still love November intls etc. and do subscribe to the belief there are no real friendlies

The last two years we did a whole lot of winning. We won a series in NZ,won a grand slam after that and the year before lost one game by a score to lose the 6Ns.
If your bar is biannual grand slams and a world cup win, you're setting yourself up for disappointment

Class! Congratulations and enjoy the celebrations.

Look forward to seeing the number crunching!
