I suppose clare daly will want to know where the points o gara got today dissapeared to
fair pointâŚthat would most likely be the salt water´s faultâŚ
The amount of lads around me getting excited at Oâ Gara coming on was hilarious. Anyone with a decent knowledge of the game should have realised that having to replace Sexton with Oâ Gara is not something to be getting excited about these days.
'Hon Rodge
This Heaslip chap, though he is the son of a Major Dick, is not leadership material.
No indeed. That match was all the evidence you need that he should never have been captain, and should be dropped and oâbrien moved to 8.
Any odds available for the Scotland game? I have a sneaking suspicion Scotland will take Ireland here. They probably have a better front row with Healy gone, though I like kilcoyne. Mike mc is out so they probably have a better second row. With no sexton we will have an OâGara in poor form at outhalf or else Jackson who is a donkey. Scotland also have a better back three.

+1 pal, we all hope they get battered. They are still on course for the wooden spoon.
Raymond Crotty will be happy to hear that Jackson is set to start this weekend with Luke Marshall at 12. Tom Court in the front row too.
Kidney gives the people what they want, safe in the knowledge his hands were tied by injuries so no blame can be placed at his door when it goes tits up. No fool is Declan.

Devin FUCKING Toner 
Bring back Micko!
Who is going to take wee Paddyâs kicks for him?
BOD.
Wouldâve liked to see Madigan get the nod-he is a far superior player to Jackson. That looks like a team that could ship a beating-OâCallaghan for fuck sake.
Declan Kidney once again proves that he is never afraid to give youth its chance. I donât think Iâve ever seen Paddy Jackson play and Iâd never heard of Luke Marshall before two hours ago but Iâm sure theyâre very good players given that Kidney has selected them.
Gradually moving towards a traditional irish selection of ulster leinster with a few hod carriers from munster in the more nefarious areas at the bottom of ruck s.
That was a nice French try. Not a great game tho, the French with a lot of pointless kicking.
Youâre voluntarily watching rugby :o
:rolleyes:
Shut up, you miserable excuse for a table spoon! 
The only English speaking channel in the hotel is BBC1, mate. Itâs more on in the background than anything
Thatâs very sad for Owen Farrell to have to go off through injury. I hope it wonât affect his Loins participation.
This South African ref is riding France big time here.
