B & I Cup Plymouth Albion v Munster A

[faltering fullback]

dont see foleys name on the Paris squad.He probably offers more than Nagle for the future, unfortunately he has had a bad run of injuries.Good luck to Kilcoyne, definitely one for the future .
Lets hope Penney varies his game plan a bit more than last week.

Managed to sweet talk mrs PP so barring any last minute disasters will be heading down to Plymouth. Anyone know of anyone else going?

[McCloud]

Will pm you my number. If you would be so kind as to provide updates.

No problem although might be a bit quiet until the HEC game is finished, ball ache that they couldn't delay the A game by half an hour.

On a side note, what is the background of Cian Bohane? Know a bit about the rest of the lads but haven't seen him play.

Edit, If I get 3G I should be able to simply post McCloud but PM me your number anyway.

[breakfast roll]

Bohane is a winger/12 playing 13 this weekend. Saw him play for Dolphin last weekend with D Barnes being the other centre. He is 6'3", strong, fast but not LOD, Zebo, Earls quick (no shame in that!). He is def one to keep an eye on as he is a bit different from what we have coming through in the Academy. Any time I have seen him play he has always done well. Gets his hands free and has good vision.

[Thomond78]

That is a pretty tidy looking A team, lads.

[lahinch_lass]

I reckon he's going to France as cover for POC. If there is even a hint of a prop injury between now and Saturday morning then J Ryan will be on the first flight/train to Paris.

They used to usually bring a front row, a back and another forward with the named squad in case of warm-up injuries, remember horan's back spasm in gloucester & puc getting dragged away from the chipper van. but with the 2 selections announced there's no "spare" front row forward for the HEC, I guess now that they're allowed 2 props on the bench they don't see a need to bring an extra along anymore.

Thanks breakfast roll, only thing now is, the plastic paddy I am, suggestions as to how I pronounce his surname would be handy.

Bow-hawne!

Thanks the_dazz, can't find anything on Sean Rennison, any info would be handy. Also, am I right in thinking that Christy Condon is predominately a Tight head? Has the coin flipped and we are now short of Loose heads??!!??!!??

Rennison is UL Bohs player I think, don't know much about him myself either. Yeah Condon is the Tighthead from Dolphin, John Ryan will cover both sides from, unless he gets injured! Cotter was with London Irish for a bit, did he play do you know? Dont watch much of the English prem games.

Thanks again the_dazz. Would it be fair to say Sean Rennison is on trial? Know Alan Cotter had twenty minutes up against Mujati, so this should be a bit easier than that!!

I know a few people are disappointed that JJ is not involved with the HEC squad but I cannot wait to see how he gets on tomorrow, Felix starting is an unbelievable bonus. Gwan Munster!!!!!

Rennison played SC with c'troy in 07. didnt win SC in 08. been with bohs since
Cotter played a few games with LIs A side and full side. was on a week by week contract with LI afaik

Hoping for Hanrahan and Jones in particular to lay down markers. It's a make or break year for Jones really, he needs to get over his injury problems.

Any word on who the back three replacement is?

[the plastic paddy]

Nice sunny day, breezy enough. HEC game on in club house. Gwan Munster!!!!

[the plastic paddy]

Heavy shower of rain but pitch looks in cracking condition, certainly better than fecking Paris. JJ looked to be timing the ball a bit better than Deasy warming up.

[the plastic paddy]

First try hircock made by JJ and Felix. JJ misses kick. Plymouth are huge but great Munster defence kept them out for first ten. Corey scores again.

[the plastic paddy]

12 0 but Nagle binned for not rolling I think.

[the plastic paddy]

12-3

[the plastic paddy]

15-3 pen JJ.

[the plastic paddy]

[the plastic paddy]

Try Nagle from cross kick, JJ misses tough kick from wrong touch line.

[the plastic paddy]
