Is O’Connell’s wife a bit of a blister? Why the fuck is he hanging around with the tour if he can’t play?
Fuck off home Paul & ride your wife before ChocolateMice has a go.

No thanks, mate. Emily is not for me- I knew her in a past life.

She’s in Australia mate. Apparently heading off home shortly to prepare for the Limerick Social Event of the Year post Tour.
There’s a lot to prepare in advance of the Munster final alright.
The Munster Final is merely the headkickers event of the year, there will be nothing social about it.
I disagree more myboyblue, you cunt! :mad:
Watching the highlights of today’s game. Sean O’Brien doesn’t seem to be the brightest. His tendency to give away penalties is the reason he can’t make test squad. First one today was desperate. Ref was shouting at him to leave the ball alone and he picks it up while standing offside
Rupert Murdoch is australian. Please do not associuate him with polite society, despite his foppish first name.
My revised Test team and substitutes as of 26/6/13, taking account of injuries:
- Halfpenny
- Bowe
- O’Driscoll
- Davies
- North
- Sexton
- Phillips
- Grant
- T. Youngs
- Jones
- Wyn-Jones
- Parling
- Croft
- Warburton
- Heaslip
Substitutes:
Kearney, Farrell, B.Youngs, O’Brien, Gray, Cole, Hibbard, Vunipola
Harsh on Cuthy after his try last week to not make my 23 but a it Bowe and the Kearnivore’s greater versatility swing it for me. Mike Phillips under pressure but when on form he’s the best scrum-half in the British Isles. Dropping the captain could deal a fatal blow to squad morale and we must stick with our leader at this stage.
Phillips is said to be doubtful for the second test Sidney.
Could Muzza be the man, as his style appears to be more of a like for like replacement for Phillips?
We could see significant changes with Grant, Parling, Lydiate, Youngs and Bowe all coming into the starting lineup.
Ground control to Major Tom. Expect Bowie to perform his Ziggy Stardust act and dazzle the Aussies. We could be heroes, not just for one day, but for all-time.
My source on the ground proves correct, No Phillipsy, Youngs given the nod, not so sure about that, huge advantage to Australia at 9 now.
Great to T-Bowe back in and the Tank on the bench. I predict Seanie will carry out the ROG role in this Test.

I got four out of five changes correct. I think the last one, Vunipola instead of Grant is a mistake. Vunipola got badly exposed in the first test in relation to scrummaging and I fear the same could happen again. Good to see SOB on the bench although Croft covering second-row is a bit of a risk.
I said it before and I’ll say it again, the Loins may scrape a win here, but it will be in spite of that clown Gatland and not because of him.
Some very interesting calls by Gatty here. Tough task for Dan to back-up after putting in such a huge effort on Tuesday. The back row cover looks better however with Crofty and the Tank being able to cover a range of positions. Tough on Richie Gray who I think has had a fine tour not to make the 23 but Crofty’s versatility in covering second row gave him the edge although he’ll obviously be bitterly disappointed to not get the start again. Pleasantly surprised to see T-Bowe back in - Matty Williams got that call wrong.
We’re now getting tantalisingly close to reaching the promised land for the first time in 16 years and the nerves are beginning to kick in again. While a final Test showdown would probably be the biggest sporting event in the history of the world, I want us to close it out on Saturday like we did in Durban in '97.
When a Wallaby is injured, it fights back. That’s when the Loin pounces. It makes the life disappear.
The Geech was an inspired choice to do the honours for lat week’s ceremonial jersey presentation. I think it would send the boys out on the crest a tidal wave of emotion from which they could not be toppled if Paul O’Connell presented the jersies tomorrow.
The boyos have arrived, lock up your Sheilas indeed, the Kildare goys are serious banter panthers.
Massive news, rugby history in fact, that the IRB have appealed against James Horwill getting off his citing charge. It’s the first time ever the IRB have appealed against a player being cleared.
This series continues to make rugby and sporting history.
News that Tommy Bowe is to wear a Gaelic hurling glove in Saturday’s second Test will surely put that sport on the map. A great boost to Ireland, and something we should all be very proud of. The world will surely sit up and take note.
