I mean,

Tom O'Toole is Ireland's fifth-choice loosehead.

Indo Sport
Crowley's kicking technique | Ireland's new depth | Scotland's mentality

I think that's worth stressing.

Indo Sport

To come into the tournament without your first three in terms of Andrew Porter, Paddy McCarthy and Jack Boyle, and then Jeremy Lachman goes down injured and Tom O'Toole is slotted in there.

Andy Farrell called him Ireland's double adapter last week after the game, which I really liked because I think when it comes to the World Cup selection next year,

Indo Sport
Crowley's kicking technique | Ireland's new depth | Scotland's mentality

I think having a prop who can play both sides of the scrum is going to be very, very useful.

Indo Sport

And it looks like that's going to be Tom O'Toole now.

Indo Sport
Crowley's kicking technique | Ireland's new depth | Scotland's mentality

So, yeah, I agree with your point, Joe.

I mean, at the end of the game this weekend, at the end of the Six Nations, Varel will have used 34 players.

Darren Murray, I think we have to call him Murray or else our Roscommon listeners will be given out.

Indo Sport
Crowley's kicking technique | Ireland's new depth | Scotland's mentality

Sorry, are they from Roscommon or the south of France?

Indo Sport
Crowley's kicking technique | Ireland's new depth | Scotland's mentality

It's Murray.

Indo Sport
Crowley's kicking technique | Ireland's new depth | Scotland's mentality

Yeah.

Indo Sport
Crowley's kicking technique | Ireland's new depth | Scotland's mentality

Yeah, well, I don't think they like that.

Indo Sport

Having spoken to them, I think they like to call it Maree.

Indo Sport
Crowley's kicking technique | Ireland's new depth | Scotland's mentality

Okay, I'll go with it.

Indo Sport
Crowley's kicking technique | Ireland's new depth | Scotland's mentality

Pronounce it Maree.

Indo Sport

But he'll become the 34th player to have featured in the Six Nations, the 11th player to have made a Six Nations debut as well.

Indo Sport
Crowley's kicking technique | Ireland's new depth | Scotland's mentality

Like, that's an awful lot of inexperience that you've kind of brought in throughout the team.

Indo Sport

And like you said, Joe, to still be in with a chance of winning a Triple Crown, to still potentially be within a chance to win the Six Nations title, I think it's to Farrell's absolute immense credit.
