@@ciaranhennessy7593 jury is still out on Ryan to be honest, up until the Autumn he has been anonymous since for club and Country since the six nations prior to the world Cup in 2019. Had a good autumn though in fairness, Has picked up a lot of concussion aswell but as things stand I think Beirne and Henderson have been outstanding the last 9 months. Future is bright anyway in the lock position, I think Thomas Ahern in Munster is going to have a major say in the years ahead aswell.
@@paulgormley5010 There's an embarrassment of talent both playing at top level already and coming through and it's difficult to predict the future but the physical attributes of this guy are just scary. Whatever happens Ireland will be well stocked at lock for the foreseeable future that's for sure
He’s already a pretty complete second row, has the brute force to go with the X factor but is also very technically good which you can see from the line out steals as-well as ball skills
He has an aggressive streak that most of our locks don’t have. Henderson when he’s riled maybe. Hopefully he doesn’t end up putting on too much muscle and losing the freakish athleticism.
Can't wait to see Ryan Baird in full flight versus England on Saturday, this guy has got grand slam quality written all over him...Go Ryan, grasp this chance for glory with both hands!
It's seldom we see a huge second row player, who appears to be faster than any backs on the pitch. This guy is the real deal, roll on Saturday at the Aviva with starter Ryan Baird & James Ryan pairing off as Irelands second row🎯🏉🏆
Future is bright for Ireland at lock. James Ryan, Ryan Baird, Thomas Ahern, Ultan Dillane, Niall Murray, Jack Dunne, Gavin Thornbury, Fineen Whycherly, Cormac Izuchuwu, Paddy Kelly, Eoin O’Connor.
Great player but I think he's gonna be another victim to the Leinster conveyor belt of talent. Lot of very good players coming through & not getting near enough game time. Baird is way too talented to be coming off the bench, he's a definite starter. Would love to see him move to Munster & partner up with Ahern in the second row 😉😉😉🤣🤣. Harry Byrne is another player on the same boat. Doesn't get enough game time.
Leinster have James Ryan and Moloney ahead of Baird, but Baird will overtake Moloney next season so why would he move to Munster when he’s gonna get game time at Leinster ? Who do you think will start ahead of him ? Josh Murphy ?
@@symeremeyers4148 I'm just he's good enough to start at the moment ahead of Moloney. I'd even pick him before James Ryan, call me daft but I think he offers more than them.
@@bejaysus7388 i agree, James Ryan is improving compared to las season where he didn’t have that much impact but baird is mobile, has an engine comparable to Josh Vdf’s and is a menace in rucks and in open play. He is probably Leinster’s best prospect
He'll definitely get game time in Leinster! And if he doesn't it's because he's not playing well enough... but it's in Leinster's interest to develop the top prospects so they won't neglect him
Give him another 2/3 years and he will be a phenomenon, outrageous potential
I agree massively him and Ryan as locks will be devastating
Next lions tour I back him to start. 💯

2 or 3 years are you mad, give him 2 or 3 months.

Thank You Andrew for this vid, good to see irish talent
Baird has best player in the world potential. He'll make James Ryan look bad... Him and Doris seem like the future of Ireland
He has an aggressive streak that most of our locks don’t have. Henderson when he’s riled maybe. Hopefully he doesn’t end up putting on too much muscle and losing the freakish athleticism.
Think that’s already happened, gone the James Ryan route and focused on physicality rather than natural gifts.
An utterly frightening prospect, pretty much the complete package. And still so young. As for that first clip 👌👍👍😄🤣😎.
I see no weaknesses.
Ryan and Ryan in the boilerhouse for Ireland for a decade.
His only weakness? Those shoulder pads!
@@happyspanners those are his greatest strengths! Built like a tank but acceleration and top speed of a sportscar
@@Poppillon A great mix of flankers, wingers and the second row. Baird is one of the best locks in the northern hemisphere atm.
Beast of a man, so much potential in the Irish team, some great players coming in. Hmm, new golden age...? Let's see how the six nations goes

Had to go back and watch the first try again.
Awesome!!!
His Dad was a canny second row in his day, showing some good leadership skills. But Ryan got all that pace from his Mum.
great athlete, great video
tank
New style Lock. Strong, Atheleticism, can actually pass and catch. Great prospect, hopefully stay injury free
Some player ..
complete player
Can you do a video for Max deegan
Future is bright for Ireland at lock. James Ryan, Ryan Baird, Thomas Ahern, Ultan Dillane, Niall Murray, Jack Dunne, Gavin Thornbury, Fineen Whycherly, Cormac Izuchuwu, Paddy Kelly, Eoin O’Connor.
A different breed of lock has being found
can you do a craig casey tribute?? he has such a bright future ahead as scrum half
th-cam.com/video/qPk_YNc8lt4/w-d-xo.html
Didn't realise he was that good..🙂
Caelan Doris next.
He's only 21..........
quality
The six nations just got harder
let's see if James Hume can also nab a spot..
Reminds me of Pierre Spies
Lomuesque!
Some of that is outrageous stuff??

This guy is very athletic, but the question should be how come the others aren’t ?
Reminiscent of a young O’Connell.
