Leinster's Ciaran Frawley and Munster's Jack Crowley, if selected as respective no10s, will be an epic battle

Frawley is fighting fit - did you see that hand-off against Benetton, it was awesome

by · Irish Mirror

Ciaran Frawley and Jack Crowley, should they both be picked to start at no10 in Croke Park, could be worth the Leinster-Munster admission price alone.

It is a fascinating match-up between the two out-halves who would be Ireland kings, Crowley the man in possession, Frawley the scorer of a brilliant last-minute winning drop goal against South Africa last time out.

The Leinsterman showing he is in fighting form too - that is producing a hand-off in Italy worthy of a Rocky Marciano or Sugar Ray or Hit Man Hearns knockout.

"Frawley is a big boy," says James Lowe in awe, "he's 100 kegs running like that. He got the old palm hand-off so right against the defender.

"He is going well, was good at the weekend, there is a bit more work on his plate now that he's got to tell us what to do but he's going well and fitting into that no10 role.

"He's got a good head on him and he controlled the game well, put us in the right areas, and was telling us what to do and when to do it.

"Obviously he's got Jamison (Gibson-Park) inside him and Garry (Ringrose) outside. Jamie Osbourne is still learning the ropes, who knows what position he is at the moment, was there too. "

Frawley's hand-off meant he ended up crossing the line and dotting down completely unopposed - it is a handy skill to have in the heat of a battle.

Continues Lowe: "The lead up, the skillset ahead of that score was exceptional and we saw Frawls at his best there as well.

"The pass execution from everyone, from Jack Conan even taking the kick-off, Jamo to RG at the line, RG was good in that little bit of an out-the-back.

"Frawley turning the corner and putting Garry through a hole, Garry hitting Jamo at tight angles, Jamo doesn't have to stop or jump to catch it.

"Then Jamo hitting Frawley back followed by his 'dush' hand-off, so there's a lot of little things that made that look really, really easy."
