Now take him off after the conversion.

Jumper

That looked held up initially.

Jumper

JGP has been very good. His passing beyond a few metres is quite poor, but he controls the tempo well. Game was begging for the likes of a Casey.

Jumper

If this has the feel of a Leinster versus a bottom of the table URC club that's because what it basically is.

Jumper

Conway having his best game in 2 years.

Jumper

The state of that clearout attempt by Ringrose.

Why the fudge would you go for 3

He definitely would have found international caps much easier to come by anyway.

Lovely pass by Keenan.

Jumper

Well, at least we've got cheerful Tommy on Channel 4. The starting team is fine, but that bench is depressing. Neither POM nor Murray are impact subs - such a wasted opportunity. Would also loved to have seen Balacoune and Mack at some point today. Don’t agree about the starting team - not sure how...

Jumper

Big game for Farrell. He needs a high scoring and convincing win. He has no excuses as you'll never see a more familiar side in international rugby.

Jumper

I am soooo sooooo UNDERWHELMED How Coombes, Balacoune and Casey aren't in for POM, Murray and Earls/Conway/Lowe I'll never agree with. It's a friendly fixture against fecking Japan Coombes carrying the Munster backrow all season and he puts POM on the bench. Utterly ridiculous Plays for the wrong c...

Jumper

Absolute state of the team. Just fùck off Farrell Very disappointing team. POM on the bench. Oh yeah we’ll learn a lot from that, having an aging backrow not known for his impact (off the bench or otherwise) coming on against Japan. Farrell you’re a clown. :lol: :lol: :lol: Farrell has selected a b...

Jumper

Farrell's hugely under pressure and doesn't seem to really grasp what international rugby is.

He inherited a team at its lowest point in a long long time and has somehow managed to take further backwards steps.

Jumper

Leinster aren't at the level they were a few years ago and Ireland are becoming more reliant on them. Farrell's Ireland is basically just Leinster minus their great coaching group.

Jumper

Farrell is a guy under pressure so he's doing the easy thing by selecting the guys from the most successful si side in the country. The worry is that Leinster aren't at the level they were a few seasons ago.

Murray K reporting this possible XV: 15. Hugo Keenan 14. Keith Earls/Andrew Conway 13. Garry Ringrose 12. Bundee Aki 11. James Lowe 10. Johnny Sexton (captain) 9. Jamison Gibson-Park 1. Andrew Porter/Cian Healy 2. Rob Herring 3. Tadhg Furlong 4. Iain Henderson 5. James Ryan 6. Tadhg Beirne 7. Josh ...

Jumper

Lowe's workrate in defense for Ireland has not been near the standard expected of anyone who wears that jersey. Lazy is a crude way of putting it.

Jumper

The absolute obsession and hysteria surrounding POM is so strange. There's more talk about the potential of him being involved that the rest of the other players combined. He has been a great player and is a man-winning-moment guy; he's not consistently that guy anymore, and Ireland's/Munster's weak...

The high levels of radon around the country indicate that we might have nuclear resources afaik. But, we're not allowed to check to see if we have any suitable resources.

Jumper

Nuclear isn't really realistic in Ireland. We don't have the knowledge-base and skillset on the island to make it a reality. We don't have the size to demand a suitable scale. It also is a medium-term solution that kicks the can down the road. Before you even think of the waste, the next generation...

When is all this hydrogen infrastructure stuff going to give me a permanent job? Wait and see what happens from the developments in Cork and at Moneypoint. There's little-to-no no battery/hydrogen industry in the country. As you know, there's a decent academic community, but there's nowhere for tho...

Jumper

Anyone who says 'we can't do nuclear in ireland' is a card carrying moron. Plenty of similar sized countries have developed them in the past and/or are currently building them. Of course we can do nuclear. It just doesn't make sense and will just provide expensive electricity 30 years from now when...

D'Arcy talks some amount of utter tripe.

Zebo a "populist" selection; a nice word from the gammon phrase-book to appeal to his readers.

Jumper

Ireland are in quite a worrying position in the second row.

Jumper

Ulster need Vermeulen ASAP, but they need a number of other guys too. On paper, they've always lacked quality in the pack.

The next generations of the O'Connell's, Foley's, and Wood's are on the way through. Will be grand sure.

And yes, I'm claiming Axel and Wood as Limerick.

Scannell, Kelleher and Sheehan will be battling it out for the 2 jersey for Ireland for the foreseeable future :twisted: Scannell? Oh Earl....

That's a jumper level post It's not. Iarmhí is right, albeit not for the reason you think he's saying it. A considerable number of selections are based on reputation rather than form. The likes of POM, Murray, etc, will never get dropped with their reputations until it's undeniable. The converse is...

No Stockdale is madness, I know he's been injured but he's expected back this week, like Baloucoune and Henderson. Not picking Doak as a development player when there's no provincial games during the window is odd. Stockdale doesn’t deserve to be in that squad Agreed on Doak Neither does Lowe, Carb...

Would hardly be a career breakthrough?
Anyone heard anything? Probable rumour

Would be a disaster for Leinster.

Jumper

How long until a Coombes or Casey inherits the "Munster player that the other provinces' fans think is shit despite consistently performing to a very high level" award?

Notable luminaries include POM, Murray, and Earls.

Jumper

It'd be great to have Doak involved, but it's rare for young guy outside of Leinster to be included while that inexperienced.

Jumper

Kleyn and Haley will be asking themselves what more than they can do if they miss out. On rugby and form grounds, both would have to be included.

Kleyn is unlikely to get a shot again as Farrell wants to avoid more xenophobic outrage from the Leinster media.
