Re: 6 Nations 2022
Radwan should have been in for May IMO.
Wonder if he went Daly as cover for a centre so he covers a wing and a centre while Ford covers the fly half.

Re: 6 Nations 2022
If Lawes is ruled out and Curry takes the captaincy, who would you start at 6?
Chessum or Isiekwe to keep the same balance. Ludlam as the next cab off the rank.
Move Dombrandt to 6 and start Simmonds/Barbeary? Might be lacking for grunt but wouldn’t be short on pace!

Cheering on the Tigers in Detroit.
Previously a slower, shorter, less good looking version of Tom Croft.

Curry 6
Ludlam 7
Dombrant 8
That said Lawes is going through return to play protocols by the sounds of it so it may be a precaution given they normally take 1-2 weeks to complete

Daly is another favourite like Farrell

Re: 6 Nations 2022
On reflection, the recall of Daly is retrogressive and I would rather have seen young Lynagh given an opportunity.

Re: 6 Nations 2022
Lynagh has bagged 7 premiership tries this season and has been in great form, 100% ahead of Daly for selection, be great when EJ finally packs his bags and someone with fresh ideas and hopefully picks on form lands. The whole ignoring Ford saga and picking his bestie Farrell just shows what EJ is all about.

Wonder how many times we will hear about Dalys siege gun boot?baz1664 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 25, 2022 9:43 am Lynagh has bagged 7 premiership tries this season and has been in great form, 100% ahead of Daly for selection, be great when EJ finally packs his bags and someone with fresh ideas and hopefully picks on form lands.

Re: 6 Nations 2022
Watching Lynagh and Simmonds, they both miss tackles frequently. Probably a very good reason Jones is suspicious.
Re: 6 Nations 2022
Lynagh's defence is really poor, hopefully the Quins coaches are working on it with him. Doesn't attempt many tackles, and misses nearly a third of those that he does try to execute. Also found wanting positionally at times.
Honestly, I'd have Potter in the squad ahead of Lynagh. Much better tackle success rate (and attempts a lot more) and beats a lot more defenders.
Lynagh has a good highlights reel and a useful surname, but he's not someone I would trust in an international match just yet.

Re: 6 Nations 2022
Personally I hope we see the following back 3
Hassell-Collins Malins
Steward
I'd have added Radwan to the squad ahead of both Lynagh AND Daly...

Re: 6 Nations 2022
I admit I have not seen much of Lynagh and wasn’t aware of his defensive deficiencies so I’ll happily drop him from my list of possibilities !Tiglon wrote: ↑Tue Jan 25, 2022 11:37 am Lynagh's defence is really poor, hopefully the Quins coaches are working on it with him.

Re: 6 Nations 2022
All I hope for the back three is that Hassell-Collins gets given a proper chance, he's earned it and could be one of the breakthrough players of the championship. Other than the fact that he plays for an unfashionable club there's really nothing going against him.

Re: 6 Nations 2022
Daly is a decent centre. Not a full back or a wing.
Radwan is just fast but contributes little else. Doesn’t seek to get involved like May or Nowell.
Lynagh looks the part and would be my pick. A certain wing of our own with a wand could arguably do a better job than Radwan or Daly. Arguably May has had his day and lost that bit of pace that we saw when he came to Tigers.
