Bohane really impressed me today, real eye for a gap. The other thing that impressed me was Duncan Casey's throw in at lineout, they were like a bullet.

What is Bohanes passing/handling like? Being 6ft 3 and comfortably over 15st is a good base to start with for a center.
Glad to see Bohane doing well. Munster needed a young centre to come through and he certainly seems to be doing that at the moment, he's only in his second year of the academy so if he keeps doing well in the B&I he could be in with a shout of some senior recognition in next years pre season.
How did BOM do? Was hoping to see a bit more of him in the Rabbo, hopefully will during the AIs, hes an exciting player, would like to see him do well this year and get another contract.
Three tries on two games for Hircock, is he worth a run against Zebre?
Thanks for the various reports lads.
It is useless to attempt to reason a man out of a thing he was never reasoned into.
Every plan I have is the best plan in the room. Everybody get quiet and listen to it, and everybody will win
To answer two questions...Barry o m had a very busy second half in particular ,made a nuisance of himself at the breakdown ,and has plenty pace around the park too.Tod carried well at times close in showed huge strength but control at the back of the dominant scrum wesnt what it might have been,he 's a 6 for me.Doc had a poor outing ,but is the guy out in front of the emerging back rows for me, so maybe i was expecting too much.
Bohane was a revelation , showed pace ,good hands, and didn't let the side down in defence at 12. Needs to bulk up a bit before he can move up though.
On the scrum from what i saw ryan stayed at TH until condon came on, cotter seemed comfortable a LH ,but for whatever reason we bley them away in the second half,to the extent that they wanted to go uncontested when they got the second yellow.
Might have just been a case of the players selected around him pushing O'Donnell into the No8 position. O'Mahony is an out and out openside from what I've seen of him for Clontarf ... very quick over the ground, a good handler and a high work rate. Similar to Niall Ronan in many respects. It's just not realistic playing him anywhere else in the backrow, either for his own progression or the team – just too small and too light to act as a primary ball carrier as you'd expect of a No6 or a No8.
Dave O'Callaghan is a blindside/second-row [and I would suggest very much more a blindside at this stage in his career]; as far as I know he's never played No8, and it's a far more specialised position in terms of the skillset required than No6. He's very obviously never going to be an openside at 6'5".
Met Dave after the game in TP today - lovely friendly guy - signed autographs etc for the kids. Said heh game in Kerry yesterday was very tough going but they enjoyed it
I realised I was dyslexic when I went to a toga party dressed as a goat
Where Is Christy Condon from, impressed me yesterday when he came on.
Thanks for the game updates. Good to see potential at this level
Need to play a few next week-end against the Zebras - see if they are up to it

Taz-Where did you get that information as I have seen nowhere that he(Penney) was ruled out?
