I wouldn't mind Cave getting a few caps over the next few years until the next messiah starts the play. We should probably pick a guy like him, and change the shape of our team to put more emphasis on the wingers carrying ball, rather than try to get someone like for like with BOD. Cave isn't a bad ...

Apparently POM has the highest turnover stats with 7 so far. Also, we have the best lineout with 45/48.

Munster are signing Ben Smith. My sources are iron-clad.

FACT.

Makes sense.

SFBB

Realistically, once the players stop playing with genuine conviction and faith in their gameplan/system you have to get rid of the coach. That game was frustrating because we played very well, and looked like we would win, and couldn't make a break through. We were hardly clueless or rudderless. It...

You forgot Zebo and POM there mate.

SFBB

The snippets from Schmidt in the papers today would suggest Jackson may have more chance of getting a start than Marshall. I would be a little disappointed not to see Marshall get a chance against Italy truth be told. (not to be taken as a criticism of D'arce) I think Italy is exactly the game Mars...

SFBB

It would be good for Jackson to get a start, imo. Only fair to give him a few tests before JJ horses him out of the squad.

SFBB

Not sure about dropping Heaslip, but if Copeland can reach his potential he could be a massive weapon off the bench.

Obviously. With the power in the tackle of Ferris and SOB, we wouldn't need Heaslip. POMs lineout and jackling skills would be best suited to 8 in that situation.

SFBB

POM was excellent defensively against England. :? Agreed, and his lineout work was excellent. If people are adamant they want Hendo at 6, I'd just play POM at 7 if he is fit. I would definitely consider that but it might be considered too much tinkering. Especially seeing as Henry isnt doing much w...

SFBB

Now, lets talk about POM? If he veers between MoM peformances and Saturdays performance level then we need a credible alternative on the bench for when it goes tits up. Is Henderson a genuine alternative at 6? I'm not so sure . Seriously!?! Do you think POM was the worst of the backrow? :? I think ...

SFBB

For all the moaning about D'Arcy, I don't think he's missed a tackle or conceded a linebreak in his two games so far. I would imagine that's why he's in the team. Newstalk saying POM has a hamstring strain. D'arcy was good I thought. Said after the match nobody was very poor outside of Sexton but t...

SFBB

I'm aware that Payne will be picked. It's the reason he is here, tbf, but I still don't like it.

And he isn't /that/ good anyway. I just want the team to actually f**king represent us. fudge winning at all costs. Identity is more important than a few poxy wins on the rugby field.

SFBB

I don't want Payne. He isn't Irish. I'd prefer Henshaw, or Bowe at 13 when BOD finishes up.

SFBB

That was a shame. Felt that POC was rubbish in open play. Sexton was terrible. D'Arcy lacked ideas. Worst kicking game from an Irish team ever. When we were attacking from deep, I felt we needed some proper pace and creativity. D.Kearney was decent, but isn't fast enough. If we had Zebo in space at ...

Gangrene. He's having both legs taken off above the knee.

Apparently he is starting 12 for Munster next season.

Anyone here had to recover from shoulder surgery? I'll be out of a sling 6 weeks when tag rugby starts, 10 weeks after surgery. Wondering if I'll be able to run, pass a ball and tag people. Don't want to miss it, I like being a big fish in a small pond. It's not very often that I'm the best player ...

What might have been if the RFU were able to go to a regional, rather than club-based, set up when things went pro? Could - even hypothetically - they have set it up like they have in SANZAR? Look at what happened in Wales when they created pretend teams! Rugby is too traditional in Europe to be ru...

What is it?

SFBB

I just hope none of our boys get hurt against those big English brutes. They do win hands down on the thug count tbf, hard to compete with Lawes, Hartley and Marler in one pack. Looks like poor POM will have no choice but to go out there and defend himself as much as possible Marler is pure comedy....

Me thinks the English ability at the breakdown is being overplayed. They hit hard, and they're huge, and they have a very high workrate. Like others have said, they get turnovers from all over the pack because of they way they form their defence. They're much more challenging than Wales in this are...

SFBB

I'm not concerned about Vunipola, to be honest. He is a big talent, but I think we target big ball carriers to disrupt momentum. If he does well, it will be very impressive.

11m looks like a bit of a bargain for Salah. Good bit of business for Chelsea swapping him for Mata and coming out 30m ahead. He looked unplayable at times last season - think jose wants to revert to 4-3-3 And not bad business as you say - we get £40m for a player our manager wasnt playing in the f...

Diack, Ah You, Boss

I would only accept poaches if they are very clearly the absolute best player in their position. If they're second best, I'd leave them out. These guys aren't even second best, which makes the whole thing retarded and wrong.

Matic to Chelsea, Pogba to United. Apparently united are going to be busy this jan and in the summer. Morata is also been rumoured to be going on loan to Arsenal.
