Will SlatteryHOST
I think they'll look back on that one with a lot of regret.
Will SlatteryHOST
A few other guys like Jack Carty retired, Joe Joyce gone, Dennis Buckley gone, Peter Dooley gone, Hawkshaw gone.
Will SlatteryHOST
But broadly, the squad is stronger than it was last season.
Will SlatteryHOST
My hot take going into this year, Luke, is I think Connacht are going to be the second best province come the end of the season.
Pauric O'KellyHOST
Um, which the next kind of group, like I'll ...
Pauric O'KellyHOST
Jack Aintz and Peter Dooley then are kind of, are the bigger losses then as well.
Pauric O'KellyHOST
Like, you don't wanna lose props with experience.
Pauric O'KellyHOST
[laughs]
Will FoleyHOST
It's, it's not, uh, yeah, I think other provinces are maybe gonna struggle with the amount of people going out the door in a way that Connacht won't because this is a normal thing for Connacht un- unfortunately.
Will FoleyHOST
Um, yeah, it's ...
Will FoleyHOST
the, the likes of Jack Ginger and, and Peter Dooley and stuff like that, like I, I, it's always speculation.
Will FoleyHOST
Like, I hope the reason they are gone is because they wanted to go, not because Connacht couldn't afford them or s- you know what I mean? Like, in those kind of contract negotiation type stuff.
John O'SullivanPANELIST
You're looking at where, who you can get and, and who adds value to the squad.
John O'SullivanPANELIST
Obviously they've Joey Carbery and Peter Dooley are the only players that have come back, if you like, rather than come in, given that they were both former Leinster players, so.
Gordon D'ArcyPANELIST
It's trying to find out what the need is, like, what do Leinster need.
Gordon D'ArcyPANELIST
So you ki- it kind of felt that you look at Barrett, uh, the previous year added a level of s- just everything, just that kind of old head.
Jacques NienaberGUEST
my advice he chose to go down to
Leo CullenGUEST
Connacht but on the flip side of that we have Peter Dooley back and Peter Dooley is also a great Leinster man.
Leo CullenGUEST
And it's great to have someone like that back in the building as well.
Eoin SheahanHOST
Which is so fulfilling to kind of have that sort of beginning to end story.
Josh van der FlierGUEST
But yeah, definitely something that's important to me.
Josh van der FlierGUEST
Who are you living with? Who was I living with? Yeah, who were the five of us? I was with Peter Dooley, who's now back playing for Leinster now, which is great.
Josh van der FlierGUEST
Adam Byrne then played with Leinster and Connacht.
Josh van der FlierGUEST
Tom Daley played with Leinster, Connacht, and then Nice.
Mick LynamHOST
Our replacements there and mind you it is an extended squad but I'll go through the actual 23 first 40.
Mick LynamHOST
Number 16 Stephen Smith, number 17 Peter Dooley, number 18 Alex Mullen, number 19 Ryan Baird, number 20 Josh Neal, number 21 Cormac Foley, number 22 Jack Deegan and number 23 Hugo McLaughlin.
Mick LynamHOST
Now, as I said, an extended replacements bench there also includes Andrew Sparrow, Alan Spicer, Dylan McNeice, Alex Soroka, Oliver Coffey and Charlie Maloney.
Mick LynamHOST
So, yeah, look, a fantastic team to put out there that's really going to test Zebra and really actually test probably, you know, the up and coming players.
