Ireland could really do with the sort of physicality Trimble is offering at the moment.

There was booing at Lansdowne at the Engerland game ffs. Let it go

Pienaar fooked

Why dont you
a) Turn it off
b) Mute it

or C) fudge up with your faux offence if about 7 9 year olds boo

You are a tedious bore

You need to employ option b) yourself when posting on the same thread as camroc

He would do some damage in a good back line

Connacht seven up already.

Boxcar Ira

I do enjoy watching Williams

Boxcar Ira

Class. Looking good for Ulster.

Funnily enough ,he has a lot of fans. I think he is exceptional for his age. It annoys me how another class act at Munster is left to pretty much stagnate.

Who?

I hope Henderson starts against France. He's something else.

Boxcar Ira

Harsh

Boxcar Ira

Class line and step there. He's playing great stuff.

Boxcar Ira

We have as much chance of catching Leinster as Connacht have of catching us.

HEC or no HEC.

Boxcar Ira

Just checked - 22. And a half.

Boxcar Ira

He'd be less than 24. Probably only 2 seasons beyond under 20???

Yeah he's had some really good games but stalled a bit this season it seems.

In genuine shock here.

There is depth coming through in the pack. Kilcoyne, R Strauss, Henderson, O'Mahony have been added to the pack then you have younger players coming through like O'Donnell, Jordi Murphy, McKeon, Nagle. The issue his tight head and lock depth but that will come when youngsters get time to develop. T...

I've said before that I would basically instill Henshaw as the 13 on the NA tour, but the problem is that when it comes to Connacht Griffin 13 and Henshaw 15 is likely to be a much better option than Henshaw at 13/AN Other at 15. The issue is a similar one at Ulster, so long as Ferris is out they h...

To be very honest and blunt, I really do think Earls is actually shit. And this isn't anti-Munster bias blah blah, he just isn't very good. It was laughable he went on the last Lions tour really and he has been incredible hyped over the years and delivered fudge all really. I think if you canvassed...

Earls is better than mcfadden but there does seem to be a fairly big disconnect between his perceived ability/talent levels in munster and the way the rest of the rugby world view it. Well that could be applied to Irish rugby fans in general it seems. True, I agree. Kidney can't really be blamed ca...

Right now, he's simply not far enough ahead of McFadden to warrant automatic inclusion given that McFadden can take pressure off Jackson if he does balls up his first 2 kicks or doesnt fancy an early tricky one. That isn't an opinion a lot of people agree with at all. Of course. And that's fair eno...

Boxcar Ira

what annoys me about all this media shite is the double standards. Murray gets no shit for basically learning on the job for the first year of his international career but jackson receives plenty of criticism for (what i believe) a good debut as a 21 yo. On the earls mcfadden thing: i think earls i...

Boxcar Ira

Just read Thornley there. Not bad actually. It's still a bit of a whinge in defence of Kidney but he does a fair bit of Jackson defending too, acknowledging that ROG would not have had the same impact Jackson did (or at least asking if he would) and comparing Jackson to Ollie Campbell of all people...

Boxcar Ira

No matter how many times you say it, it'll never be true. We would not have been well clear had ROG started. It's conceivable we would indeed have been behind. That's it really. You just cant say we would have been ahead if ROG had started. Jackson was instrumental in us being able to string some p...

It's gas that everyone was writing Jordi Murphy off as a pro about 6 months ago. Too small, not skillful enough, not explosive enough. Sure, says I, he's got the dog in him and that's all that matters. Precious :lol: Au contraire, mon frere. I have no great attachment. I would actually say that peo...

I'm ridiculously offended too. Zebre could definitely cause them problems.

You don't seem to be getting this Boxy.

Hendo is going to Aus.

Those campr vans can be pretty cramped for a big lad

Powerful bastard. I expect he'll be capped this Summer. Hendo, TOD and Jordi back row maybe Ahead of Ryan or Ruddock or even an outsider like McKeon/Butler/DOC 2.0 doubt it to be honest. He's moving ahead of all of them now in my opinion. He has been good alright, but Id like to see McKeon go, I th...
