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

Sam was a little bit later back than Harry, so Harry got...

kind of to be the 10 at the start of the season and in fairness he took his opportunity and suddenly it became a conversation and he got to start in a European final like with Harry and Sam on this tour it would have been ideal for Joey to be fit for the start of the season to lay down his marker I don't think he is going to be fit so that's going to make it harder for him you know because then if he goes back to the same time as Harry or goes back after Harry and Sam then you're sharing the game time over over three of them again and

Which is kind of what's led to Leinster being in a situation where they've had different tens for the last few European Cup finals.

So it's not really ideal.

It would have been great for Joey.

Look, it's a collision sport.

It's going to be harder for him, I think, coming in a little bit later into the season to really get a run.

But he is the most experienced, so maybe he needs less time.

Maybe he needs less time to show his wares.

Yeah, it's, it's going to be fascinating.

I think the fact that Tyg, Tyg's obviously finished season injured, it'll be hard, it may be harder for him to play six.

but you want him in the team somewhere I would have thought to be honest Prendergast would have started six and Conan eight Josh Winterfleer seven with Timoney you know doing what he did in the Six Nations he was coming off the bench giving big impact big energy and I would have thought it would have been you know probably Tyg Tyg and Joe in the second row or maybe Tyg on the bench you know as a utility cover just for his first game back

with James Ryan and Joe McCarthy starting but there's some nice there's some nice options Izachukwu being fit is a big boost I mean I think all that's held him back is just injuries at the at the wrong time has stopped him getting the flow but certainly he's a he's a player that has so much so much potential huge upside and huge athleticism and at a time when that athleticism is even even more important than ever so yeah we're starting to get and Jansen obviously and look at the

Bryn Ward obviously was called in late, so maybe he's further down the pecking order, but certainly Jansen and Ward in terms of just sheer ball carrying ability are very exciting as well.

So there's lots of really good options there.

I think it affects Ireland negatively.

So, and I know Ireland... More than other nations.

I think Ireland weren't happy that this was brought up in the States.

Sorry, Ireland felt that this did need to be changed and it suited Ireland, particularly players like Joe McCarthy, Tyburn, who... And even, I think Tyburn's gone on the record of kind of saying they're trying to...

adapt the laws to get his area straight out of the game.
