Keenan out is an absolute disaster.

Frawley will probably go off injured as well, knowing him.

Karl Dickson is reffing the Leinster game next weekend. That's going to be painful to watch.

I'll keep it simple: Front row - '23 Slam 2nd row - '09 Slam Backrow - '09 Slam Halfbacks - '18 Slam Centres - '09 Slam Back 3 - '09 Slam Arguably those same centres were better still for the '04 Triple Crown and there's a case to be made for the 2nd row of that championship as well with O'Kelly pa...

The centres have gone back to Gavin at 12 and de Klerk at 13.

That's how they lined up last week too, I think there was just a mistake on one of the teamsheets going around.

PourSomeRuggerOnMe

That was awful. I'm getting sick of the pack not showing up in big games. Couldn't get any shape going in the second half with Murray at 9. So many errors upon errors, mentally just not in it at all. Really disappointing.

What I wouldn't give for Ireland to find an athlete like VDM VDM is generally relatively anonymous against the better sides. Don't give him any space to run into and he doesn't add much to his side. Yep, he's only ever scored 1 try against us, and he is routinely exposed in defence against the like...

I thought Doris was excellent. He didn't have many eye-catching runs into space, but he had some lovely touches.

He's down for 9 passes, the most of any forward, plus one lovely offload. He was also the top tackler with 20.

PourSomeRuggerOnMe

I think worst case scenario for us is one of Crowley or Frawley gets injured with the game still a live contest. It will require a lot of reshuffling and playing people out of position. Otherwise just not really seeing where Wales will challenge, I know we shouldn't be talking like that etc etc but...

GT must be back in the good books, team was spot on,with Jaeger getting the nod over Bealham, not mad about that decision honestly Didn't Bealham just have a kid? Maybe he's just being given some down time. Always good to see a new TH blooded anyway (though I agree on form Bealham deserves a start).

Tries conceded in last 12 Six Nations games:

12 - Ireland

27 - France
32 - Wales
33 - Scotland
34 - England

57 - Italy

take a bow Easterbunny

That is incredible.

And we've scored 55 tries in those 12 games. That's an average score of 4.6 tries to 1.

Not necessarily. It’s the ref’s interpretation on whether he is using his hands to support his weight to jackle the ball.

It wasn't a jackal, it was a counter-ruck. You can't crawl.

When did Doris move to Munster.

Those are Roman numeral player ratings. Bit too generous with a few of them, mind.

That's sure to improve morale when he gets around to it.

It was 100% legit turnover It definitely wasn't. Beirne wasn't there before the ruck formed and the ruck never ended. Should have been a penalty Exeter but those turnovers are given all the time these days. There was no Munster player there. No ruck. That hasn't been the law for some time now.

PourSomeRuggerOnMe

I don't know if it was because of the translation, but I thought 3BP s dreadful. Didn't finish it when I had less than 10% to go. Endless chapters of nothing, then huge plot development in a few pages, then half a book of exposition. Lots of roping actual scientific theories into nonsense ideas whi...

Love to see Leinster sign a big lad. Mostert or Estbeth or Frizzell. or a prop - Ox, Lomax, Malherbe. and maybe a good back 3 player.

Oh I know we had other errors. The parallels are uncanny though. Both times we'd scored 3 tries and we were sitting at 24/25 points. One test we get the ball down to win, other one we don't. Both tests featured a Jordan long range try too!

Yeah true, there is a horrible symmetry there.

PourSomeRuggerOnMe

So, third test we go up by a fair bit, NZ come roaring back and Herring puts the test to bed. We don't score there, NZ might have won. QF, we came back into it, similar situation, Kelleher held up. We score there, we most likely win. Question is, would you trade the tries knowing the former meant w...

Leinster only get Ala'alatoa back from the WC. Could they not have let one of the hookers bench?! Incredibly callow front row plus subs outside Mike. At least Osborne is back. They should all be back this week. They had a full preseason ffs, and I'd say they're dying to play. Sometimes we don't do ...

That Saffer 9-13 is attacking rugby antimatter. Can't see them doing it. Reckon the Kiwis will take it.

PourSomeRuggerOnMe

That was very tight, could easily have been disallowed. Makes up a bit for the two earlier calls.

Foley much better than McGrath so far, but our carrying is just not quite good enough. Support is a bit weak too.

It was onfield try. Then the on pitch officials looked at the video and agreed it was foot in touch. They then asked TMO to find a reason to disagree. But there was no conclusive evidence of touch. On-field officials were wrong. TMO has a much better view, generally the ref goes with his final call...

Isn't it an on-field try? Ref asking TMO if it's clearly not in touch is bollocks. Bullshit call. It was onfield try. Then the on pitch officials looked at the video and agreed it was foot in touch.

Should we take Joey back to Leinster? Crowley is clearly the no 1 in Munster. We need better depth at 10 for Ireland.

The Kiwis are absolutely wrecked after last week. They'll still canter to a win against this dogshit Argie team.

Gardner is a horrendous ref. Utterly inept.
