first choice Props and Hooker are injured & we can’t summon up strong replacements-so we get turned over by other clubs with bigger/better squads.
it’s no good having talent like Yarde,
etc if the ball doesn’t get to them in
try scoring positions
investment will bolster the club and
make other teams fear LIrish like in
previous seasons
as a season ticket holder I want to
see success- not just hope for other
clubs to fail or be subject to ‘fines’
due to non-applicability of players!
get real!!

The more so given an admission that they want to increase irish influence. Surely a risk that PRL and rfu could be undermined from within in their dealings with the Irish and ERC.
