And Btw the LOU lineout captained by him was the best in last season stats

Here's an example right now : for Lyon vs Toulouse, it's Puricelli, back-row (and not a 5.5) who's making the calls and catching most of the lineouts.

"Ultan, you complete me"
"No Quinn, you complete me"
That was all I heard out of the exit row on the way home. Thought I'd need the little paper bag.

Hard to single out who was calling even if I watched all the throws again. It was not Dillane for sure (camera on his face twice and he was silent)

Against Ulster in Ravenhill it was Quinn Roux

Back-rowers can't call the lineout?

Though, for lineout, we would have to note we have had a jumping back-row. Any of Muldoon/Masterson/Gallagher have catched lineouts.
It's a relief to lighten the pressure on locks in that area. In the end Dillane did not jump, and Roux only twice, for 11 lineouts in total

Yes but presumably one of the locks was still calling it which is where we had big issues before.

Also.. the lineout didn't go in to meltdown with Roux and Dillane in the row...that's a step in the right direction...

It has to be said the result is the most important thing. Max points.

The back 3 in defence are a joke.
TOH has proven why he's not been selected for Ireland was the right choice.

He is almost giving a try away every game bar the Cardiff Game missing one on one tackles.
It's his only weakness, and if he wants to play at the next level he needs to improve on it.

Saying that he is also setting up or scoring a try every game.
If he gets his defence right he will be the complete player.

The worrying thing is that It looks like the none of the back 3 are improving bar Niyi in defence.
If this is not fixed soon it will cost us at the
Business end of the season.

Healy was hugely improved in defence. Made some big tackles and some important and very good chases with tackles at the end of the them.

I love google translate...

Mc Cartney was a very stable element when he came on. Should take the captaincy at least next week.

He's the captain he shouldn't be making silly decisions like that. I'm just a bit concerned by his leadership but maybe it's all the changes that are affecting him. He is still playing pretty well.

Worried about Muldoons discipline and where his head is at. Absolutely no need for that yellow when we were under pressure. Not the first one for him this season. Cost us 14 points tonight.

Playing him at 6 could be a good way to bring him into the team without forcing him to carry around too much weight. Ross Molony for one really suffered when he tried to bulk up too much too young.

He wasn’t the only one we conceded 4 penalties in four minutes leading up to that.
