I think it's ludicrous that Ciaran Frawley isn't in his team.
He was the best player in a European final just last weekend, and he misses out.
Not true injury, not true any type of fitness issues.
He's not been rested.
He's been picked because, or he hasn't been picked based on just selection.
And I find it hard to wrap my head around that decision.
I think it's almost as if he's being punished for showing the coaches up in a way that, you know, you should have played me as he proved at the weekend in the Champions Cup final.
It puzzles me as well, because when Ross Byrne was leaving for Gloucester last year, they still played him off the bench ahead of Frawley in the URC running, which I thought at the time was a little bit odd, but I respected the decision because it was probably based on form.
Play your best players, give yourself the best chance.
They're not giving themselves the best chance with not playing Frawley.
Not that I think they'll lose the game at the weekend.
I think Prendergast and Harry Byrne, two great 10s, and they have plenty to give, haven't had the best second half of the season.
But I just think it's another step.
At this point, it probably doesn't matter, but it's another step and another development in the mismanagement of Kieran Frawley.
I think it's been a huge, huge lapse in the judgment of Leinster Rugby over the last while and probably Ireland as well in that they've been so blinded by the...
the want and need to replace Johnny Sexton and they saw that more in Harry Byrne and saw that more in Sam Prendergast and how they carried themselves during the week and in game that they've completely missed the opportunity to develop the first Kieran Frawley and that sounds really dramatic but I do genuinely think he is
a really top player and I'm not just jumping on the bandwagon like a lot of people seem to be I've been on the record on the show to say I think he's a quality 10 and deserves more time and he's had such little time in that 10 jersey for Leinster in Ireland you know he was the best player in the European final at the weekend and he's leaving in three weeks and they're not playing him
Off the ball.
