The late developer- how Kenny & Cahir formed their own pathway to Champions Cup Rugby: & not the linear path of the Irish system thecurrency.news/articles/214...

the “double ruck” by Kenny is vital for that try. great effort, as O’Brien would have been stripped on that tackle. Good timing of pass by Prendergast too. #LEIvLAR

For all the criticism around his tackle technique - Prendergast got this one right & probably save the game for Leinster #LEIvLAR #LEIvSR

Good team try. well executed kick by Prendergast. - check out where opposition backs defended this.

Is Ireland really in decline - what the rugby data is telling us: Less points scored / more points conceded. #IREvAUS READ MORE: thecurrency.news/articles/207...

Is the onfield referee really “sole judge of fact & laws” anymore. 8 penalties were awarded when referee never saw the original offence himself 🤷‍♂️. MORE HERE: thecurrency.news/articles/206...

Where’s all the backline "strike play" thinking/innovation/skill gone??? I’d love to see backline attack better this weekend. At the moment some are stealing a living!!! Time for a rethink.

The stop start nature of Saturday's game was painful to watch at times. Surely this is said to Ireland before the game. I know Ref was correct but.... #ItsAGameofInches #IREvNZL

My favourite try v All Blacks . Great detail in this one.

Will playing time be an issue ? Took a look at rugby Playing time - 3 from each team played zero minutes in October. The last month is an interesting comparison- #IREvNZL MORE HERE thecurrency.news/articles/20636…

Judging your teams performance on the 1st game of the season is like analysing the first shot of a round of golf - the rugby season is a long journey: Irish provinces have their first shots in the URC - thecurrency.news/articles/203...

Good backline strike by @ospreys . Causes lots of confusion for Bulls. Width of first pass was key/stopping Bulls 9 from getting out and Bulls midfield had to hold #URCGO #BULvOSP

Good try this by @ZebreParma - the Edinburgh THP and Winger fall for the first movement. Clever play. #URCGO #ZEBvEDI

#RWC2025 is here . Time to get on the #GreenWave thecurrency.news/articles/199...

Any Altitude Sickness??? The "Springbok Crane Company" back in operation on Saturday. The Midfield Lift didn’t cause Australia too much problem but some nice thinking around it. #RSAvAUS

Great camera view of Dan Sheehan’s try

This could have got very ugly for the Wallabies if the Lions took their changes - the Jones’ try, crossfield kick to McCarthy and Lowe’s chance. #Lions2025 thecurrency.news/articles/196...

Tadhg Beirne’s telepathic powers at Lineout Defence is amazing ... #AusVLions #Lions2025 #lionsvswallabies

Well it worked in November. #Lions2025 have used this play a few times. Do we see an alternative on Saturday? #AUSvBIL - DETAIL BELOW

This technique of the knee down is becoming an issue. Dangerous for both players #Lions2025

Going to see can I guess the Schmidt and Wallabies GamePlan. - Did the Brumbies reveal part of it yesterday. “The Shooting 9”??? - Lonergan went hard after the 2nd pass - intercept/disruption of the multi phase attack system. Will Schmidt do the same? #Lions2025

In-game use of Sports Performance Analysis here. In the coaching box at #Wimbledon  . Wonder how it’s communicated to the players? (Sound on!)

liking these 2 Lineout strike plays by #lionsrugby - getting Russell into midfield running at the defence is a big part of the strikes. need to resource better in those wider channels.

A look at Australia’s Defence set up at lineouts. slightly different to other teams. No tailgunner on fulls/forward(7) in midfield. Lolesio (10) out of frontline D/replaced by Blind side winger. Passive & Easy yards to have? #Lions2025

Lots of chat re:TMO in rugby. Good example here. On field referee said "pass was good". Asst. Ref (the experienced Ben O’Keeffe) thought it was fine too. TMO wanted ruled forward pass. Is decision making now been diminished or more technology needed?

Some good 22m lineout strike plays from #Lions2025. different to over using the maul. Same concepts but different ways of doing it. lots of use of blind side wing #RugbyAnalysis
