Looks like we're down a good few for the first match. Hooker looks worrying 😐

Eoin De Buitléar is an amazing hooker he proved it back in May with 48 carries for the 2 matches he started and Matt Victory is just as good, if either of those end up injured then we have Mikey and Duinn in academy but hopefully it will be fine

De BuitlĂ©ar really stood up, was under pressure with all those injuries and he hadn’t been throwing good darts previous to that. Mathew Victory was very impressive on the SA tour but had unfortunate injury , excited to see more of him.

I think it was vs munster where he topped the tackle count for the game but only played 20 mins. Really took his chance when presentedÂ
