Interesting to see Marshall as a passing pivot 12, Ulster have used him far to much on the crash and frankly have rarely been fluent in the back division since Paddy Wallace got injured 18 months ago. You know, a passing pivot 12. He has played 10 too hasn't he? If he has it makes no sense to use h...

We'll see later in the week when the defensive blunders are dissected, but it's a lot easier to coach better defending than better passing.

Having not followed the U20 much this year, except a couple of halves here and there, what are our chances like? What are the Eng like, don't know too much about em? The best chances that Ireland have of knocking over the pigdog juniors is in the wet. The big if is of course is the scrum. Can't lea...

Ranking at the Conclusion of the Pool Phase (ii) the Team which has the best difference between points scored for and points scored against in all its Pool Matches shall be the higher ranked; Cheers for that - I thought it was number of tries scored.

So, the lads beat Fiji 38-nil and will likely face England in the semi-finals. Congratulations to them. Congrats. but, the bloody French screwed up and lost. Likely semi finals is: Eng/SA vs Ireland Sa/Eng vs NZ * Don't know who ranks higher, Eng or SA - whoever does gets NZ in their semi. * Whoeve...

Jaysus, Marshall has another head bang. This is not good lads. Where are you getting that from? One of the Indo journos down there. They're saying it's not concussion but it;s hard to have much faith anymore when it comes to the team comments on these injuries. Ruaidhri O'Connor ‏ Luke Marshall suf...

In fairness, Kelleher has been very impressive any time I've seen him. Not denying that at all, deserves his spot, but Ruddock was very good at mixing the team up in previous World Cups, its a little samey this year. Isn't there a rule that every player must start once? What match did Dardis start?...

I missed the game, how many ulster players f**ked up Best was ok Hendo was a beast - MotM for most of us Diack was fairly good, after butchering an early try by not passing Henry was ok but looks jaded Marshall was poor (probably the only other out and out poor player along with Jones) Cave was pre...

I really, really hope we keep Hendo in next week. The more time alongside POC the better. The more gametime full stop the better. +1 It's taken nearly 2 years to get here from the JWC, with last season at flanker meaning he was only learning Lock this year. But he's been raising the bar every game ...

Am I right that it looks odds on that there will be 3 NH teams in the semi's with the Boks the only ones from the SH? Are Wales likely to be one of them? No. England, South Africa and Ireland are basically nailed on. If France beat Wales then they win their group and join the party. Ireland are bes...

I've no problem with Munster being propped up a bit, we need four strong provinces. No point acting holier than thou over it though.

So the Junior World cup: 2012 we beat England and yet don't make the top four. 2014 we are beaten by France but look like we will get into the last 4. What an utterly shit format. Back in 2012, we beat South Africa (eventual winners) but then lost to the Pig-puppies next match and so missed out on ...

Tell them that next years Irish side is 1 of the best Ireland have ever produced, best 19s in the NH and dominated by Ulster players :smug: :smug: .

Am I right in saying that Ireland have a terrific chance of making the semis of the JWC for the first time?

The incident in question. Looks fair enough to me. The dozy cnut should have payed attention to the warnings.

Just seen the incident for the first time.

Clear run-out, why is there even a debate?

Buttler is pretty clear about it, walks off immediately.

Unless McFadden starts on the wing then no there really isn't. No replacement for Henshaw has skewed things. And ultimately the bringing of Jones was a nonsense.

That's sad to hear. My favourite Ulster man for a long time. A monster 6 for Ireland. 2009 was his best year with Ireland but his injury curse cost him a deserved Lions test cap.
