You’d wonder how the salt of the earth, bin men and dockers who play for Munster and Ireland will mingle with the Eton educated toffs from England on this tour. Anyway I’m sure they’ll come together as one team and show leadership, guile, spirit, character and allegiance to her Majesty. Throw in Donncha “Donners” O’Callaghan providing the laughter via his hilarious practical jokes and how can Australia possibly prevail…
Gerry Thornley, Donal Lenihan and co would have at least 7 Irish starters. Healy, “Paulie”, O’Brien, Ferris, Drico, Bowe and Kearney. They’d make convincing cases for Ross, Donnacha Ryan, Heaslip, Murray, “ROG” :lol: , D’Arcy, Earls and Zebo too.
Loins Tour manager Andy Irvine (Scotland) has announced the appointment of Rob Howley (Wales), Andy Farrell (England) and Graham Rowntree (England) as assistant coaches to head coach Warren Gatland (Wales).
Also announced today was the appointment of Dr. James Robson (Scotland) as leader of the tour medical team.
T-Bowe will most likely miss the tour after suffering knee ligament damage last night. Ulster says (no) that they can’t tell full extent of the damage yet, but doubtful now that T-Bowe will make the fight.
