2012 Six Nations

Ah here :shakefist:

Don’t forget the 2 Lohan brothers, very good players for Shannon in their day.

Apologies, Mick Fitzgibbon and The Puke were the only two worthwhile players ever to come out of Shannon.

Time for starting Ryan was against Italy imo.

I get the feeling he would have done so then, but the cancelled French game made it difficult to do so.

I think you are right in that he didn’t want to start him after we lost our first match and then cancelled match. I disagree with his decision though. Starting him at home against Italy was a safe enough bet and would have given him time to settle in ahead of French match.

Tullow would have got a few quid when he was first capped I think

How much is a few quid Dan out of curiousity?

Strangely quiet build up to this on here and in general. France could be here for the taking. Come On Ireland!

Great to see Tony Ward taking control of the technology there as he adjusted Ryle’s volume.

I thought he was adjusting his own volume rocko. In fact I am almost sure he was. I will seek clarification from Ryle if you so wish.

Pearson will be kind to us today

Great tackle early doors from Murray

Great start from Ferris.

Sexton :rolleyes: :shakefist:

Much better defence so far.

Yup outta that :clap: :clap: :clap:

And that’s the reward for aggressive defence.

Well done Tommy Bowe!

Much improved all right. Still too many errors at restarts and drop outs though where we look disorganised.
