The Counter Ruck: The Irish Times Rugby Podcast · Why is James Lowe leaving Leinster? · 12 Jun 2026 podcast

Yeah, correct.

Jimmy Duffy has a long record of producing very good packs in the sense that the forwards, the performance of the forwards right across all the aspects of the game have been very good.

He is recognised as an excellent coach and I think that his appointment will be something that will be hugely beneficial to Munster and I would be very surprised if you don't see an upturn in terms of the quality of what Munster produce right across all aspects of their forward play.

Yeah, there's a few things.

Daniel Green, who played last year, who didn't play in the Six Nations, is back in the squad.

So that'll be a significant plus.

He can play out half or full back because he played both positions last year.

He's in the Ulster Academy.

The main talking point will be the return to the squad of two players who are earmarked for great things, if you like.

One is Jack Deegan of Leinster Centre, big, strong centre, and playing alongside him potentially in the team will be Sean Walsh of Connacht.

It was a bigger, even bigger centre.

So one 6-2, the other 6-4.

Sean Walsh played against South Africa last November and then subsequently got an injury and he was brilliant in that game.

Very, very strong carrying presence.

Hit very hard in terms of his tackles and bounced a lot of the young springboks around the place.

Jack Deegan has been injured as well.

So those two missed out on the Six Nations.

Now, I should point out straight away that James O'Leary and Rob Carney did a great job for Ireland in the Six Nations in the centre.

So they won't be giving up their positions, but the two players in question, Jack Deegan and Sean Walsh of Connacht, and I have to say Sean Walsh of Connacht because there was a Sean Walsh from, who's a second row, from Barnhall.

He's not in this squad, but he did play during the Six Nations.
