    Incredible defensive player as well. Such a pity he just missed the Irish tour with injury. Baloucoune has the potential to be a world superstar at international level

    His change of direction is so good for such a big man. Means he can just get the jump on defenders and he’s away.
    So many wing options for Ireland at the moment.

      @@symeremeyers4148 They're all good players and this whole argument is quite subjective and therefore pointless but that said Larmour is good in the air, surprisingly physical and breaks the line better than any other wing in the country. Sure Lowe might be stronger, Rob might be quicker and Earls might work harder but Larmour is becoming good at every aspect of back three play.

      All going well he'll get a couple of starts in the November Tests. It's going to be a right royal battle with the wings available to AF, but he has out and out pace which you can't coach. If he continues to get in the mix, and be creative as well as a finisher, he'll be well in with a shout.

      @@samwiselemon6420 Lowe is deceptively quick. Not like RB, but more than fast enough. He's also instinctively good with ball in hand, his quick hands and creative ability to keep the ball alive/bring others on to it, mean his scoring rate and assists are damn high. RB has already started to do more of what AF is looking for, and if he continues he'll push for the squad for sure, but right now the spots are Lowes and Hansens.

      @FinnD777 2 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      Baloucoune is insanely talented though. Lowe and Hansen have had their share of defensive blunders before while Baloucoune is excellent in defence, and there is nothing they are doing that he can’t do apart from Lowe’s left boot maybe. Another thing is that he is a massively tall winger, he draws in defenders and can offload the ball in some very awkward positions. He has to be one of the brightest sparks I’ve seen for the last while in Irish rugby, he could be an Irish superstar
