Leinster and Ireland player says he has a ‘good springboard’ for the coming season
After his drop goals provided a remarkable finish to Ireland’s South African tour, Frawley says he has a ‘good springboard’ for the coming season
“It was a long season, 54 weeks, it felt long,” he says. “The body needed a break and mentally I needed it as well. There were a lot of moments throughout the season that I would have been proud of. So, it’s not just all down to the one moment of a drop goal. That last season was the most minutes I have played in a season ever.”
“Look, at least I have done it now. I know I can do it. It’s a good springboard for me going into next season. You practice it a lot. I have done it since underage. I remember playing here in Gorey and having one. But I suppose after a big moment like that, it can play on your mind, so to come back and nail it is such a relief and a reassuring feeling.”
Hooker Dan Sheehan is a long-term absentee and sometime early next year he may make a return from the ACL knee injury he suffered in South Africa. “Look, going forward, there is a lot of competition at 10. It’s good for everyone here. It’s about pushing us on because I know Johnny retired a year ago, but that gap is there. Jack has done an incredible job . But there are a lot of lads champing at the bit and trying to improve themselves.”
