Cian Tracey

He's missed like two and a half years of rugby with back-to-back Achilles injuries and Munster have managed him very, very carefully in terms of his minutes.

But we actually spoke to him after Andrew Goodman at the press conference earlier.

We'll have a piece up tomorrow and in the paper.

It was actually my first time chatting to him and just like being up close and seeing him.

God like however big you think he is when he's on TV like seeing him in person he is a big big unit and I think if his body plays ball and he stays fit I think he's going to be a massive massive player for Ireland over the next few years it's just like I said about staying fit so they're the things to watch out for it was funny Andy Farrell came over and had a chat with us before training started and kind of you know talking about how mad yesterday was in terms of the news cycle Hugo Keane and fracturing his thumb and he kind of quipped that

well, this is only our second pitch session of the week.

So what is it going to be like by the time we get to Paris?

So they'll have a few more tough sessions on the pitch before they get there.

The hope is that there are no more injuries because I think like, you know, back to my glass half full approach, Will, it's a good time to be able to see the depth charts in certain positions.

Like a lot of supporters, a lot of our listeners will be crying out to see more

not so much of the tried and tested guys.

Well, we're going to see lots of them in Paris.

We're going to see whether they can handle it.

And with one eye on the World Cup next year, that might be no bad thing at all.

Yeah, for sure.

And his brother obviously made his debut for Munster last week at Man of the Match.

He's going to be playing starting, I think again for Munster against, is it Glasgow, that they're playing and he could have a big, big future as well.

Another guy I think to mention, Wilp,

who is not going to be involved next week as far as we're aware because he's a development player but Bryn Ward apparently has been tearing up trees in the first couple of sessions over here chatting to Jack Conan and he was saying like he is seriously impressed by him chatting to Stuart McCloskey as well and he was saying he was comparing him to Sean O'Brien actually so this guy is a serious talent and by all accounts has been making all the right noises in training this week and

I wouldn't rule out a potential debut for him maybe later on in the Six Nations.
