ormondlad.bsky.social @ormondlad.bsky.social · 12/02/2026Totally uninspiring irish team selection once again. Michael Milne out of 23 for Tom O Toole whos switching sides for first time in an age. Not sure i agree with Osborne at full back, ringrose at 13, Lowe on wing, Sam at 10, McCarthy in row, doris at 7 having a 6-2 bench. 000 0
Reposted by @ormondlad.bsky.socialThree Red Kings @threeredkings.bsky.social · 07/02/2026Where I feel Ireland have gone wrong is pulling in a lot of depth guys from Leinster who don't raise levels for the province — they merely support it — instead of plugging in some of the bigger, more aggressive, more physical components from elsewhere. 2133 0
