The headline news from the Irish squad, no Jack Crowley.
No Andrew Porter through injury.
Along with, by the way, Ryan Baird's injured, Jack Boyle's injured, Adokbo out through injury, Mack Hanson out through injury, Tom Farrell out through injury, Paddy McCarthy out through injury, Calvin Nash as well.
But no Jack Crowley.
Roger, broad thoughts on the Irish squad first?
You mentioned the 10 situation.
Yeah.
So Crowley out, Prendergast in, Harry Byrne in and CiarΓ‘n Frawley in.
And we'll get into it in more depth in a moment.
But Sam Prendergast named a start for Leinster at the weekend against the Bulls.
The musical chairs aspect at Leinster continues.
CiarΓ‘n Frawley has put in the best performance of the three tens in recent times, but he's obviously in the naughty step.
I think we can sort of surmise that.
it really looked like Sam Prendergast had been given more than his chance was the feeling.
It just blew up very badly.
Blew up badly for Ireland and then blew up badly for Leinster.
And I think a lot of people felt when he missed that tackle against Toulon, we won't see him again in a game of huge consequence.
And then Harry Byrne obviously disappoints in two Champions Cup games, not least the final.
And again, this reactive, this very reactive air around Leinster at 10 means that he's now kicking his heels, must be thinking, am I...
Am I just done?
