The Left Wing: Frawley’s big opportunity and previewing Ireland v Wales

Ciarán Frawley has been named at full-back in the Ireland team to play Wales in the Six Nations on Saturday at the Aviva stadium. The rest of the team is the same as the one that started the opening round win over France in Marseille while the uncapped Oli Jager is on the bench.
Rúaidhrí O'Connor and Cian Tracey join Sinéad Kissane on The Left Wing to discuss the big talking points of Farrell's team selection.
Join Sinéad, Rúaidhrí and Cian again on Saturday after the final whistle when they will give their thoughts and post-match analysis on the game.

living here in holland its great to get this content thank you

[@purplecrown505]

Delighted to see the Skerries lad get his chance.

[@seanmcgirr2557]

Well informed and also well versed hosts. They know what they're talking about. Enjoying this.

[@patrickkeane2067]

Very good pod really

[@danielg8001]

Rúaidhrí sticking the knife into Wales straight away! Every team deserves respect in the 6N. One loss and its goodbye Grand Slam! I'm very concerned by the attitudes expressed by some Irish journalists that think the team is something to be experimented with at every opportunity. Its taken years to get to this level of performance so why risk it now with tinkering?

[@peter821028]

I agree, arrogant to say that about Wales. As an Irish supporter I hate to hear comments like “Respect Wales don’t deserve” 😡 Rude rude rude.

[@johndanter7834]

I'm so glad you've said this, because as a Welshman, I find him annoying and ignorantly arrogant. Ireland are a good team, but Wales are not as bad as he's making out

[@patrickkeane2067]

​@peter821028 Not sure. There calling it as it is. Wales are in poor place. Bit irish , to say they are good. We should be beating them well. Hate when teams build up the opponents when there actually sh it. Pretty sure Farrell won't be letting them self's carried away to

[@DAGATHire]

It's true tho.

[@aaronreid116]

​@johndanter7834 really impressed with Wales! Another year r 2 you'll be competing again! What is it about that Welsh Jersey?? 🇮🇪🤝🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿..Good luck Saturday..but not too much😉

[@thomaspollock5709]

Ireland must be tough as they qhere on edge of beating English and Scotland😮

[@Iwond3r]

Great podcast, would be amazing to have Bernard Jackman ok such an insightful podcast!

[@mjomalley]

I disagree with the notion that fans are entitled to "knowledge" about player's injuries

[@briancostello6892]

What an Attitude he Has. I don’t like his Attitude. Professional Coaches are Right in keeping their Cards close to their Chest. A Bit of an Arrogant Chap in my Opinion

[@kiaoragin]

Like to see Jared Payne get it,

[@amantedellopera1681]

You could debate wether frawley is the right choice for 15,of course he is,who else are we going to put there

[@Fredders88]

Don't quite understand the Ringrose love - for me Aki/Henshaw is clearly the best centre partnership.

[@johnmc3862]

Nah Ringroses organisation of defence has moved him above IMHO. Henshaws injuries in the last couple of years prob didnt help.

[@thomaspollock5709]

Wales will try rough stuff

[@DAGATHire]

Sure they're only young fellas. If that's their game plan they are really in for a serious walloping.

[@BarryHawk]

Frawley to Ulster at 10

[@michaelflynn5123]

Lighting quick ball against Italy? Was ruari at the game?

[@BarryHawk]

Blade is better than Murray

[@joebellamy1]

Siinead, stop looking et your comms nodding and rotating your head, concentrate on the interviewee!

[@amantedellopera1681]

Fucks sake now u lot are talking waffle..larmour at 15 he cant catch a high ball,as for stockdale he cant tackle,some daft comments from you lot

[@farlo90]

Nothing worse than women thinking they know anything about rugby.

[@hasparov]

Nothing worse than an eejit in the comments

[@briancostello6892]

How True. More WOKE SHIT 💩. Leave Men’s Games to Real Men. Most of Media Commentators Puppets to the Media Kabal. 🤔😳. Tired of Listening to Them. So I will just go back to Independent Journalism for News

[@michellebermingham2350]

Sexist and of course totally wrong.

[@michellebermingham2350]

Sexist remark. You know nothing about women!

[@michaelflynn5123]

Where supposed to be one of the best rugby teams in the world and we haven’t got a replacement full back! Hope warren gatland dosent plan his whole game on taking our full back apart ! Think he will

[@DAGATHire]

We have 2 replacements both injured. you new to rugby i guess... roll in on the netflix train? Feck off to the little boys corner now, mouth shut ears open. Maybe you'll learn something

[@johnmc3862]

You do know about other injuries don’t you?

[@DAGATHire]

@@johnmc3862 careful with your comments. they straight up deleted my comment for mentioning the exact same thing you just said here. "we have 2 replacements also injured, you must be new from netflix..." comment deleted. Last time i bother with the indo podcast with that level of censorship.

[@briancostello6892]

Frawley will Suprise You. Can’t be Looked at as a Keenan. But will do Well. In His Own Right
