IRELAND ”S LINEOUT STRUGGLES caught the attention of former Leinster star Bernard Jackman on the latest episode of Rugby Weekly Extra, the podcast for subscribers to The 42.
“Joe McCarthy and James Ryan as a combination are there for their physicality and work rate more so than being lineout gurus. “Devin Toner for years was one of the first names picked for Joe Schmidt because the lineout and set piece off the lineout was such an important part of what Joe did. Devin added so much there.”
“I think that’s been the case for a while. I think we missed a trick in terms of player development. You talk about being really aligned, this shouldn’t have come as a surprise. There was nobody in the system who was likely to have the athletic ability to play for Ireland at lock that was being groomed to also be a lineout specialist.
