Dare we start him against England?
Move POM to 7 (I know) & VDF off the bench?

We need an opposition we respect.

When are BNZ coming here next?
France next Spring?
Playing NZ in November, I think.

That would be a game worth unzipping for

Feyi-Waboso looks like he would be dangerous if he got space to run

Just a word about the ref, I quite liked him. Kept the breakdown a bit cleaner with penalties for players lying on the wrong side and for sealing off. Yes, Wales got away with some sh1thousery to slow our ball down but it's a step in the right direction. Reminded me a bit of a ref allowing the weake...

Hat trick for Aaron Sexton
I've said it before they should have a development interpro tournament during the 6 Nations, could have it in the RDS the night before home 6 nations games.

Fück yeah!!!

that's pretty cool - Aki is some man I doubt players get promised caps by the way? Promised was the wrong word. I meant a bit more that I wouldn't be surprised that he had a chat with Faz, who may have provided positive words around the potential for performance to be recognised, and this being the...

He may have been given a path etc but no way it was committed to

Probably being capped asap to make sure he can't change his mind

I'd leave the centres as they are, I think Ringrose is a world class 13 but Henshaw has been outstanding lately. A complete reverse of what I've said about Henshaw on this very thread in recent months, honestly thought he was a bit of a busted flush. I think Henshaw getting to play in his natural p...

Also is there a reason why southern posters are having a pile on against NI in the Wales match thread? Well, you broke one of the fundamental laws of Six Nations Match Threads in that you failed to include a picture of Katherine Jenkins for a Welsh fixture.

I’d be very surprised if Bealham is dropped out of the 23 after his scrummaging performance last game. Must be an injury concern. No way they drop him from the 23. If they want to have a look at Jager, I'd be leaving Furlong out. Agreed. btw, who is covering wing? Not complaining, but surprised to ...

U20 side name. Changes I'm the forwards but surprisingly none in the backline. Ireland U20s: 15. Ben O’Connor (UCC RFC/Munster) 14. Finn Treacy (Galwegians RFC/Connacht) 13.

Are wales pish as usual in the u20s?
They've done good backs at least. They'll score bucket loads of tries if Ireland's defending is as good as it was against Italy.

He never played for Belfast Harlequins, Ulster didn't offer him a contract and Jimmy Duffy and Nigel Carolan offered him an academy deal in Connacht. He definitely played for Quins, not in the AIL but for their 2nds and in the senior league. Quins DoR at the time (name escapes me) and club sec both...

I've finally got round to watching the Netflix Six Nations series. It's all a bit meh, to be honest.

Guys, can we please just draw a line under the last ten pages or so? Let's all agree to take a mighty collective shit, flush the collective toilet, probably spray it down with some bleach and then have a proper nights sleep. Then we can get back to doing what we should be doing tomorrow. Talking sma...

Not really. Furlong and Jäger came through Leinster underage system. Bealham signed for Ulster academy system and TOT came through Ulster underage system. My understanding is that Bealham played for Belfast Harlequins and was offered to Ulster Academy. We passed on him and he went West instead. It ...

I suspect, given most of his experience has been in NZ, the international coaches want a very good look at him. It's cool that the 4 best options are from 4 different provinces. I suspect the same will be case with SH once Murray moves on. Pity more positions aren't similar. Not really. Furlong and...

With the size/power stakes I'd be inclined to continue with Henshaw at 13 for that game.

I had a look at Sexton's first 6 nations start. Away to England in 2010. Ireland won 20-18. Sexton got 1 from 5 kicks. That's for those who are quick to judge Crowley. 20-16 actually. Think that was the Tommy Bowe winning try match (his second of the game). Just checked the last 20 years, we are 5-...

That is incredible.

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

So looks like this Anglo Welsh league is gaining legs. That means we'll be sending stronger teams to SA and will be back to home and away games for every team.

Some observations The scrum was very good. Bealham surely deserves a start. Noticeable improvement from last week. What would anyone say to Bealham starting, to secure scrum superiority, then Furlong off the bench? btw, that first try was a thing of beauty, terrific continuity, recycling the ball q...
