For flip's sake. Do we need this? One thing I noticed yesterday was how much Toner's clearing out has improved. It's not the tidiest but when he hit a ruck he took someone with him every time. He's useless protecting the ball at a ruck still though. Mike Ross is a hero for making 80 minutes. Ross h...

Christ, just had a read down through the boards match thread. 80% of it is dedicated to discussing the Zebo offload that led to the Australian try On one side you've got Munster fans trying to blame Sexton for calling for the pass, and on the other you've got Leinster fans making out as if it was s...

Ross looked to have three poor games in the scrum, he's getting worse. The only time you see an Aussie front row patting each other on the backs is when they play us it seems. We need Moore back and someone else putting pressure on the backup TH spot. real shame that White got injured. I hope we do...

BOD's departure has nothing to do with it. Kidney was poison, Schmidt can get the best out of the players

He was still far and away the best 13 in Ireland last season and deserved to be selected there. He was magic against Italy during the six nations too

There's more to come from us. The fact that we were so conservative is down to limitations with ball carriers rather than a particular Schmidt style He had Leinster playing the most pulsating attacking rugby a few years back. With our big go forward ball carriers back I'd expect to see more of that ...

I don't think Sexton was 100% fit for either game. Which is scary considering how he performed

Himself and Murray weren't brilliant yesterday, but they were still involved in crucial passages of play time and again. Our two most important players, by a country mile

Fantastic insight. Well backed up too

I don't think we would have.

It would have been close. But considering our injuries the AB's probably would have had too much

Put SOB/Healy/Trimble/Henderson/Fitzgerald into the squad and it would be a different story though

So Gatland is was only using the games as a "fitness camp"? Jesus, seems there's more than Gatland deluded if people think that

Gatland isn't dynamic enough, and neither are his players. Having little or no depth outside of the starting 15 doesn't help either

Welsh rugby is headed for the dumps

What ever happened to TOL's case against the IRFU?

And how's he playing with Irish these days?

Have any of the 'responses' to the haka been followed by victories for the ABs opponents on that particular day out of curiosity? I can't seem to recall any, and can think of a few bad beatings by the ABs... but I'm no encyclopedia on the subject. France in 2007. The only decent response to the Hak...

Anyway, on the team. Happy with it tbh Would be exciting to see Olding in the side but tbh I think Darcy is a safer pair of hands for the time being. I've no doubt Olding will get his chance in the six nations but three out of three would be a massive achievement this Autumn and it would send out a ...

Wonderful, thanks for sharing. But not what I was talking about.

As ever, I'm using any possible in to highlight how shit that blog is.

He is in fairness. Best defensive 12 we have. Not so great in attack though

Madigan isn't a centre,

Olding is going to be one our most important players in a few years

It's a pity Earls isn't fit. Himself and Luke Fitz would suit Schmidt's system very well. Really well rounded wingers

fishooks15

Based off a rumour someone heard on the green and gold forum Jones might actually be starting on the wing & Zebo dropped. Not the most reliable source, but it could make sense. Having 2 fullbacks would allow us to better defend against a kicking game.. and Zebo didn't do much in attack against Geor...

Imagine the reaction you'd get a few weeks ago if you'd suggested people might actually accept an Irish coach starting Felix Jones ahead of Simon Zebo on the wing

Poll leaves out the best English 10, Toby Flood

From an outsiders perspective I couldn't understand how easily Farrell usurped him

Andrew Trimble has 57 caps. Which is mad considering he's only really looked like a fully fledged international winger for the last 10

Hoping for this on Saturday:

1 McGrath
2 Best
3 Ross
4 Toner
5 POC
6 POM
7 Ruddock
8 Heaslip
9 Murray
10 Sexton
11 Luke Fitz (fat chance but a boy can dream)
12 Henshaw
13 Olding
14 Bowe
15 Kearney

I thought the Dail hit a new low after the election of Ming and Wallace, I was wrong. Because along came the most odious prat of a politician ever.

Wait, what, Jamie Hagan is back at Leinster? He must have been seriously brutal for LI to be let go mid-season. I thought I heard that on the radio today.

Simon Zebo is not test standard. Apart from a fortuitous heal once, he's done nothing in a green shirt. I was sat pitch side at the Saffa game and told my son to keep an eye on Zebo. I contended that a try would be leaked on his wing. Low and behold..... Pietersens try truly exposed Zebo. He has no...

The one thing I think may well be an issue of sorts going forward is the versatility of some of our more promising players. With O'Connor becoming an option at lock up here and our Backrow stocks.....well, shit to put it mildly, there is an argument for f**k Hendo about again. Henderson- Lock or 6?...

Worrying that the pack lost the collisions today. Numerous turnovers against us. A better team would have made us pay. Schmidt has brought up the point that the squad need to bulk up. He's right.

All players fit, we've a pretty good squad. We've the best squad in the NH imo. England have a similar level of depth but we've got more top class players than them.
