Re: The Leinster Scrumhalf preview 2021/22
Unless I mised something, he missed (most) all of last season through injury and now needs to show consistency of form to potentially turn heads and earn a late entry to the academy a la Russell. A reasonable possibility?mildlyinterested wrote: ↑September 6th, 2021, 10:41 ambest leinster 9 at his age grade.. despite being uncontracted and two of his competitors having academy contracts.backrower8 wrote: ↑September 6th, 2021, 10:36 amInterestingmildlyinterested wrote: ↑September 6th, 2021, 10:31 am Rob Gilsenan was starting 9 for UCD at the weekend...

Re: The Leinster Scrumhalf preview 2021/22
Quality try from Gunne here, seems to be the highest rated 9 coming through at the moment, but I wouldn't have a great handle on that right now:

From about 20s to 50s he appeared not to communicate with his first receiver/outhalf. Try was scored and keeping it tight was a reasonable call, but you always want to know when going wide is on.

Re: The Leinster Scrumhalf preview 2021/22
full game here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXRc-0W ... lanCassidy
havent watched it all, but like the look of his pass so far.
and Bobby Sheehans lineout throwing.
edit: Sheehan is a battering ram. still not sure i'd have taken McKee over him last summer. Moved to 6 in the 2nd half too.
Sheehan and Gilsenan combine to score a try here: https://youtu.be/kXRc-0WV5MI?t=3982
Gilsenan gone off, thought he played well.. hopefully he can stay healthy and get a good run at it.
Bobby Sheehan very impressive too.

Cormac Foley scored his 4th try of the AIL season last night for Lansdowne, reports are he has played well for them this season, good to see, hope it continues.

Gibson-Park played a game in Ballsbridge at the weekend. Worth a look if you can get hold of the tape.
