Beirne
Doris
Gibson-Park

Several others not far off.

There is little doubt about it : Jamison Gibson-Park is the greatest scrum half that Ireland has ever produced.🇨🇮🏉

Thoroughly enjoyed Nick Mullins' declaration during the England-Scotland game that Blair Kinghorn is "by some distance" the favourite to wear the Lions Test 15 shirt.

Even I don't agree with that

seiwilliams.bsky.social•6 days ago

I mean, Kinghorn is a terrific full-back and I'd be amazed if he didn't tour as one of the (probably two specialist) full-backs.

And it will be a bit of a tussle between him and Keenan for the Test shirt.

But 'by some distance' is doing *a lot* of work there.

Not one of them will ever be as talented, glorious or sexy as Eric Elwood

Explaining you and @bonymaenbowls.bsky.social was probably most difficult thing I’ve done ever. Cry More,

Explain to whom? We never expected you to leave your wife for us or anything.

Moving the goal posts again .

Porter
Sheehan could be but early yet
Van Der Flier comfortably Ireland's best 7

edjenx.bsky.social•6 days ago

Sheehan can't scrummage or throw. A fabulous player, but not a great hooker.

JVDF is good, but comically overrated. SOB & Leavy both better.

Porter just had his test career ended by Will Griff John, stop smoking craic.

Hard to ignore Sean O Brien. Connor Murray was brilliant for his time.
