Beth ButtimerSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
So yeah, just kind of took it as a trial and yeah, I try not to force things, just things fell for me and yeah, it was good.
Cameron HillHOST
How do you find, like, that's very Dan Sheehan-esque to get that many tries, he'd be the easiest kind of example to hand, but I know your brother plays centre and you played centre when you were underage, so that kind of education and being an outside back, does that help you and is that something you bring into the position of hooker?
Beth ButtimerSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Yeah, definitely.
Beth ButtimerSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I think having good hands definitely helps my position, but I did, I've had to learn a lot about the trade of hooker.
David CordialPANELIST
It'll be very interesting to see how Dermot Barron and Lee Barron, both of whom I would say, to a greater or lesser extent, would have had higher aspirations.
David CordialPANELIST
I know Lee Barron certainly would have left Leinster because he felt there was a lot of depth there, but he's a player who's kind of showed for Leinster that, when he was younger, he has a lot of the attributes of what Ireland have looked for out of, say, Dan Sheehan.
David CordialPANELIST
So if the likes of him, the likes of Durham Baron can kind of bring their game up to match these NIQ players coming there to take that starting role, Munster will benefit from that too.
David CordialPANELIST
And then on the loose head side, Jeremy Lachman has found himself getting a lot more matches for Ireland than some people might have thought he would.
Cian TraceyGUEST
I, I glad you brought up Tommy O'Brien's comments, Ian, 'cause they struck me, uh, last week as well because what, what stood out to me was that he mentioned Joey Carbery coming in, and maybe we could take a bit of Joey Carbery coming in from Bordeaux, which is much more of the Leinster, uh, DNA.
Cian TraceyGUEST
And that, to me, sort of, um, was reminiscent of Dan Sheehan's comments in the middle of last season when he said, "Yeah, we have gone to the coaches.
Cian TraceyGUEST
We wanna be a bit more, um, expressive." It kind of reminds me of Ireland in 2019 when Sexton went to Joe Schmidt, allowing the, the reins to be off.
Cian TraceyGUEST
So look, we'll see what, if that happens.
Tim CockerHOST
Malcolm Marx might be the best player.
Tim CockerHOST
Dan Sheehan might be the best player.
Tim CockerHOST
Peato Mauvaka and Marchand, actually, France are probably close.
Jonathan BeardmoreHOST
They're pretty good, aren't they? Hooker Hill, yeah.
Rúaidhrí O'ConnorGUEST
That's the big thing for these players.
Rúaidhrí O'ConnorGUEST
For Caelan Doris, Dan Sheehan, having been through what they went through in France...
Rúaidhrí O'ConnorGUEST
And I think one of the things the new Leinster coach needs to be is a stronger advocate for Leinster against Ireland and try and redress that balance because the draw of Ireland under Andy Farrell is so strong.
Rúaidhrí O'ConnorGUEST
You need more buy-in.
Harry JonesHOST
Happened to Ireland over, and over, and over.
Harry JonesHOST
And then Dan lost his mind, Dan Sheehan.
Harry JonesHOST
So they think that was why they got pinged five times and, uh, and that's what they're saying.
Harry JonesHOST
I don't think that's actually true.
Harry JonesHOST
I'm gonna get that question.
Harry JonesHOST
I'm gonna, I'm gonna point out from, from crouch to bind, there is an ability to adjust a break foot.
Harry JonesHOST
Is that what you're saying the Springboks are doing specifically, differently from all the other teams in the world? Is this the magic? Is this the secret of the plaas? Did Dan Human just find a little tiny loophole? Loophole poo-hole.
Harry JonesHOST
There's no way.
Harry JonesHOST
You know, we look at nines for support play, but a good hooker is there or thereabouts.
Harry JonesHOST
Look at, uh, Dan Sheehan, look at Dane Coles back in the day.
Harry JonesHOST
They're always the quickest forward.
Harry JonesHOST
They like to scrum off of the forwards so they can get there.
Hanyani ShimangeHOST
Yeah.
Jean de VilliersHOST
I, I wanna go Dan Sheehan.
Hanyani ShimangeHOST
He is also a really good player.
Jean de VilliersHOST
Jesus.
