Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
What does D'arcy have to do to get dropped?
I don't buy it that Ireland where class in the 1st half, France where bloody crap for 40mins, they could hardly do anything. They picked it up in the 2nd half and Ireland didn't score a point.
Veru disappointed that Ferris is being flogged 4 weeks in a row what with his knee condition.

This is a tough year for Ireland thanks to the World cup rankings. We might just have to ride it out in the hope new blood is tried next year.camroc1 wrote:I'm nearly missing the days of adventurous Eddie at this stage.SASP wrote:Expecting anything else?camroc1 wrote:Thornley predicting that Ryan and Reddan will be the only two changes.
On the subject of new blood. Wonder if he continues to improve will the side stepping skyscraper get a chance?
Toner is one of my favorites outside Ulster. He has improved a huge amount this year. Note how well he did against Richie Gray in the two HC games versus Glasgow.

He'll never get dropped when BOD is out. The thought of making two changes in the centres makes Deccie very uncomfortable.Willie Falloon wrote:What does D'arcy have to do to get dropped?

You know that sick feeling you get in your stomach as a nightmare scenario slowly becomes more likely?
Best injured, SOB has some kind of infection on his foot? DOC's ankle is a concern...
Kidney slips even more conservatively into his shell and decides ROG is the answer with the captaincy vacant. We win against Scotland and Kidney keeps ROG for Twickenham where he proceeds to get steamrolled by Tuilagi and we lose a poor match on St. Patricks day.

Not a hope he'll drop Sexton when most of the team is falling apart,he might have if everyone was fit and so many changes weren't forced on him.

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
Even if he didn't thats a redundant point now. If more options were available to replace BOD then he could have been rested but we didn't and really still dont. With Ferris its a bit different. He is playing great at the moment but there are no shortage of decent blindsides to come in. So protect the big lad and not risk loosing him for another half season or even longer.Willie Falloon wrote:Always.grimoald wrote:Did you ever complain when BOD was playing with bad hamstrings or a f**ked up shoulder?Willie Falloon wrote:Veru disappointed that Ferris is being flogged 4 weeks in a row what with his knee condition.

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
A rest was a possibilty before POC got injured. Its not just about backrow for a backrow but the overall mix in the pack. Those two are the main enforcers and leaders by deed.SASP wrote:Even if he didn't thats a redundant point now.

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
I'm not arguing that point just pointing out the difference. The drop in quality from Ferris to SOB is nothing near the drop in quality from BOD to (insert any centre we have here).Despot wrote:A rest was a possibilty before POC got injured.

This has just made my day, didn't think he would be back in this week or next, but a spot on the bench and maybe 20/30 mins would be great, full match next week against the westie and then Leinster!!!!!!!! and then Ulster. A BR of him, POM and Coughlan ain't bad, esp considering Coughlan is in very good form. If we could get Murray and POC back for the 1/4 against Ulster we might have some hope!

France had a shit first half because Ireland ruined them in contact and worked a very aggressive rush defence - that was a very good half of rugby from Ireland.Willie Falloon wrote:What does D'arcy have to do to get dropped?

Unfortunately by 50 minutes a lot of the Ireland players were gassed and we lost a bit of concentration in attack and turned over too much ball. To give the players their due they still defended like madmen, but fatigue took the edge off the attacking ability.
It is wrong to complain about Ferris being "overused" by Ireland. He is a senior player, it is a bit of a risk putting him in there but it has to be done. He certainly has a lot less miles on the clock than SOB or Heaslip over the past two seasons.

I have a feeling we'll have a full team out for the QF though,a one legged PoC would still do a job.

The first priority for Ferris is Ireland. End of. This isn't some warm up against a minnow side, it's the f**king six nations. You don't throw players in and out for the sake of it, you rotate from a position of strength with genuine options for valid reasons such as increasing depth and competition and progressing younger players.

Humph played twice in Thommond park for Ulster since returning from leicester and was brilliant. Scored a solo try in 1 match and created a number of trys when we hammered you in early 2009.
