RTÉ Rugby Podcast · Will the Nations Championship prove to be a success? Philip Doyle RIP · 30 Jun 2026 podcast

So I'm fascinated to see how Ireland play.

I mean, you know, there's been so much talk about how the game is changing, et cetera.

And are Ireland going to adapt to that?

Are they still going to be a high possession type team?

Are they going to be a team who kind of focus on those 22 entries and converting them?

Do you have any strong...

I think there will be a little bit, sorry, I think the evolution for Ireland is to be a little bit more dangerous from transition.

So like quick throws, counter-attack, turnover.

You have Gibson Park there who's just, his speed of thought and his accuracy of pass is so good.

I think you've got to play into that.

I think it's harder to be a high-phase team

on a high possession team so I think Ireland won't go completely away from it but I think we'll look to find ways of exploiting mismatches a little bit better I think we'll be a little bit more ambitious off counter-attack on transition Why do you think we've been a little bit slow to go after that style of play Steena?

I agree with you.

I think post Bilbao, Frawley, the fact that he was going to Connacht where he has a chance of being 10, I think that changes the picture a little bit.

I think over the last couple of years, there's probably always been a little bit of doubt in Andy Farrell's mind around is Frawley going to get game time at 10 in Leinster?

And that can...

You know, that obviously makes it harder for him then to plan for the next competition or next block of games.

And maybe that's affected Frolley a little bit in terms of his selections at 10 for Ireland.

But yeah, post Bilbao, I was sure he was going to be coming back into Leinster and playing 10 for the end of the season.

That was the mystery rounds.
