In that vein, I stumbled across this yesterday...

PRL also already had the same idea. Whether that makes it a bigger or smaller shit fight, I'd have no idea.

In addition Harry Byrne, Craig Casey, James Lowe, James Tracy and Fineen Wycherley will train with the squad next week at IRFU High Performance Centre in Dublin.

@Yeetyaah
Could end up with 2 NZ Maori players playing for Ireland.

[Yeetyaah]

@mofitzy_ I think Lowe becomes eligible in November so he might not even play.

@MiketheSnow is that the dropping of the two kiwi backs?

[Stargazer]

@Bones Who? Not sure if you mean them, but Johnny McNicholl is injured (ankle) and Hadleigh Parkes no longer eligible (moved to Japan).

[Bones]

@Stargazer actually meant Anscombe and Parkes, had forgotten about McNicholl. Thanks for the update.

Time is not on his side. Particularly with Covid messing up international schedules.

[Machpants]

@MiketheSnow why are some players in italics, I couldn't figure the pattern?

[Stargazer]

@Machpants I think there is no meaning. No italics in the official announcement.
