Tadgh "URC is beneath me" Furlong

In the stadium watching him play against Northampton it was so clear that he just didn't give a shit. It was a training game for him to get fit for the lions.

Unfortunate because he's a legend, but he doesn't care about Leinster.

Disgraceful comment

u/Some-Speed-6290 2d ago

No. Choosing Lions training sessions over URC knockout games was disgraceful.

Brings the full list of injured senior players to: 

  • Paddy McCarthy
  • Boyle 
  • Kelleher
  • Furlong
  • Joe McCarthy
  • Snyman
  • Baird
  • Connors
  • Ringrose
  • Tector 
  • Cooney
  • Larmour 
  • Tommy O'Brien
  • Hugo McLaughlin 

Not far away from a full team we'd put out quite regularly

You can add TOB and Hugh McLaughlin in the back 3.

u/Some-Speed-6290 2d ago

You are correct, not sure how I missed Tommy after mentioning him above! Will edit to add

u/zenrobotninja 2d ago

Christ, did we start playing in 4g pitches or something

u/IrishLad1002 2d ago

Furlong back on the injury list. I’m sure we’ll see him back in blue for next years Champions Cup semis/ final if we make it.

u/Some-Speed-6290 2d ago

He'll probably do 10 minutes off the bench the last game before the Six Nations as well to be fair to him.

u/Admirable_Olive_5039 2d ago

Furlong, Ringrose, Joe, Kelleher all training today anyway.

u/beernotbeards 2d ago

Saw Cullen talking about Sheehan and McCarthy and he said they reckoned they'd be grand so hopefully it's just precaution

u/Some-Speed-6290 2d ago

McCarthy really didn't look good going off. 

Surprised Van der Flier wasn't on the list as well tbh. He wasn't moving his arm at all and kept grabbing his shoulder for the last 10 minutes or so of the game.

Cullen 🤦‍♂️

u/IrishDog1990 2d ago

So potential team if Joe and Sheehan are available like poster above said:

Porter
Sheehan
Clarkson
Ryan
Joe
Conan
Josh
Doris
JGP
Sam or Harry (Sam for me after last week)
Osbourne
Reiko
Jimmy
Lowe
Keenan

Gus
Usanov
Slimani
Mangan
Penny
Luke
Frawley/Harry
Henshaw

That about right? Assuming like of TOB, Ringrose etc are out with that

u/Some-Speed-6290 2d ago

Deegan probably finds his way into the 23. Coaches love him

3

u/IrishDog1990 2d ago

Reading that out is so funny the forward bench impact we’re missing, could be: Kelleher, Paddy McCarthy, Furlong, RG and Baird instead

2

u/Admirable_Olive_5039 2d ago

Porter, Kelleher, Clarkson, Ryan, Joe, Conan, VDF, Doris, JGP, Sam, Lowe, Osborne, Ringer, Ioane, Keenan

Gus, Usanov, Furlong, Mangan, Deegan/Penny, Luke, Frawley, JOB

Assuming Sheehan and TOB are out as per training pictures today.

u/Bane_of_Balor 2d ago

At this point, the finals will be decided which team can actually field 23 players.

u/Appropriate-Band2998 2d ago

Furlong, Joe McCarthy, Kelleher and Ringrose all trained today I think, they were in the training photos

u/WhiskeyJack3759 2d ago

Jaysus, Larmour injured again? It seems the guy need only look at a training session to pick up an injury.
