Luca Fallon @luca2017.bsky.social · 22/04/2025He actually won a Heineken Cup medal in 2018, something Leinster’s current crop and indeed a whole plethora of rugby pundits haven’t done . 020
Luca Fallon @luca2017.bsky.social · 20/04/2025It’s the Dublin media’s fault , No wait it’s David Nuciforas fault , no wait it’s the IRFUs fault , No now it’s the referee’s fault #StandUpandCry 000
Luca Fallon @luca2017.bsky.social · 15/03/202520 pt game without Lowe , Hanson, Ringrose , Kelleher, Furlong, 4 Lions Things are never as good or as bad as they seem. we would beat that france side tomorrow. 000
Luca Fallon @luca2017.bsky.social · 11/03/2025It’s more complicated, We passed the ball 196 times V France 97 . They made 100 more tackles. Ireland are not an off ball team. We still want to play ball but only beyond the half way line, the problem is without a firing Aki or Lowe , we are beyond pedestrian in attack . 000
Luca Fallon @luca2017.bsky.social · 24/02/2025Sam Warburton has him starting for the Lions yet it’s the blue media’s fault that he is even on the irish team. Yes he leans into his strengths one of which i suggest is his unfazed ability to stick to a game plan. 010
Luca Fallon @luca2017.bsky.social · 24/02/2025Listen , the my man is better than yours brigade won’t be happy unless we lose to France, then they will want 7 changes for the Italy game . I hope neither happens. 000
Luca Fallon @luca2017.bsky.social · 22/02/2025Some clutch moments by Sam to win and close the game out but we won’t hear anything about that from you 010
Luca Fallon @luca2017.bsky.social · 07/02/2025Good Pod, Interesting to see if the pass to wide option was specific to Englands strong ground game and if Ireland will revert to short passing this weekend. The call up point, is very interesting (Ahern ,Bolton) and would point towards a shift in tactics. 011
Luca Fallon @luca2017.bsky.social · 03/02/2025It’s the mad conspiracy theories that keep me hooked “plain as day better” An opinion “Stand and Sling out half” a bad opinion “Wrong option to pass to Bundi” a mad opinion There all mad notions. 010
Luca Fallon @luca2017.bsky.social · 31/01/2025Will miss McCarthys ballast but he isn’t the most accurate particularly in offensive ruck, Baird need to secure lineout but must be switched on. Crowley on in the last 30 to counter and attack england bid body bench. 000
Luca Fallon @luca2017.bsky.social · 29/01/2025in other news , a manager with a successful history of winning stays through to his principles. 000
Luca Fallon @luca2017.bsky.social · 28/01/2025Ireland will pick Crowley for England, Need to go with 6/2 split , Too much risk with Sam as that means needing to go 5/3 . It would be unwise to not have an extra hybrid flanker on the bench. 000
Luca Fallon @luca2017.bsky.social · 27/01/2025No he is not as mobile as Wilson or Clarkson, he is a better scrummager without doubt.That said i didn’t expect to see Augueur called up ahead of him, 000

Luca Fallon @luca2017.bsky.social · 26/01/2025That’s professional sports , Ongoing success is still going to capture the corporate buck, it is what it is,there will be 20k english in attendance next week down to circumstances created over 20 years ago. It’s my own clubs lifeline. 100
Luca Fallon @luca2017.bsky.social · 26/01/2025You be you timmy , the rest of us will go to the match or get up at 4 in the morning (i live in Melbourne) to watch the next match . 100
Luca Fallon @luca2017.bsky.social · 26/01/2025As long as ireland keep winning the vast majority of Irish rugby’s supporters don’t honestly care. See the attendances, i would also. argue given the low attendance availability at the Aviva, 6 nations tickets will always be in demand even if we drop a few games.Sorry you feel so much apathy. 100
Luca Fallon @luca2017.bsky.social · 25/01/2025Has he really, Again as third choice they probably like Clarkson ability to cover ground , Scrummaging hasn’t been the main criteria for a few years now. 100
Luca Fallon @luca2017.bsky.social · 25/01/2025Yea i see your point but Conan is a great 8 and the way Dorris is playing at the moment he could do a great job. Personally feel we should have backed Timoney instead of Prendergast on form and even as blue as i am you have to see the dog in Ahern and back him now but that’s just my own eyes. 100
Luca Fallon @luca2017.bsky.social · 25/01/2025Beirne will start in the row v England, we need POM for lineout, Reckon Ryan will miss out, Leaves Ryan Baird and Conan coming in for the last 30. FWIW i think The biggest call is at 10,12 and neither will be blue bloods.Really don’t understand why we don’t select 40 players for experience. 110
Luca Fallon @luca2017.bsky.social · 25/01/2025I would argue you are getting caught. up in the exact opposite way , Take the front row , and back row , i believe the best players are selected to do their role and the coaches don’t care where they come from.Its all opinion of course but POC agrees with me. OTHP still raises relevant questions 100
Luca Fallon @luca2017.bsky.social · 25/01/2025Respectfully disagree and POC alluded to this specific query today in the paper.I would trust his word.Also Aki will start ahead of Henshaw at 12 v England , another selection of the best player for the game. 100
Luca Fallon @luca2017.bsky.social · 25/01/2025not going near Cooney as that’s just training camp but Clarkson is 100% better than Wilson and isn’t Jager just back from injury , One thing Clarkson is very mobile and worth looking at very much as a third wheel, also if Furlong goes down Jager could come straight into match day. 300
Luca Fallon @luca2017.bsky.social · 25/01/2025I just don’t agree with you buddy no disrespect but imo, they are selected because they’re the best players. It’s really that simple.Eg. Ryan dropped for Henderson at World Cup, that wasn’t a cohesion pick, it was getting form players on the park.It will be the same when Crowley is picked next week. 100
Luca Fallon @luca2017.bsky.social · 25/01/2025Not against them at all, Just think more needs to be done to address the dearth of productive of tight 5 players nationally.When ireland won the slam in 2018, we had better stock in the front five then we do now and that’s worrying. 100
Luca Fallon @luca2017.bsky.social · 25/01/2025It’s more about results than cohesion. Farrell has had extraordinary success given our history, and he has built up massive trust in players . One observers cohesion rhetoric is no difference to one person pointing to results and income.Beirne, Henderson, Bealham,POM, Murray, Hanson, selected to win 100
Luca Fallon @luca2017.bsky.social · 25/01/2025All i was saying was that he got capped and if JGP didn’t drive on he might have had more, he was capped years before JGP. Supplementing all provinces with NIQ will send 2/3 strings players abroad or out of professional rugby and make Leinster stronger if same rules apply. 200
Luca Fallon @luca2017.bsky.social · 25/01/2025i would say Luke Mcgrath would have plenty of caps but for Irelands best ever scrum half, but i see your point, I was more pointing to the homogeneous rugby route nationally needing to expand. If NIQ players became the norm across all provinces, Leinster would still pull away . 100
Luca Fallon @luca2017.bsky.social · 25/01/2025I would take it back a step further and actively search for that specific athletic type outside of traditional routes. NIQ will help without a doubt but we need a national recalibration where we look for talent. 000
Luca Fallon @luca2017.bsky.social · 25/01/2025It’s an awful reach to say pathways have been fixed when you look at the inability of all provinces apart from Leinster to produce quality front 5 players, True Leinster have clear advantages but all provinces could/should be doing more to find talent outside the homogeneous private school types. 200
Luca Fallon @luca2017.bsky.social · 16/01/2025What utter tripe, No nation has done three championships in a row and this turnip thinks anything but a grandslam is très marvais. 000
