[quote=āShadowā]Have to agree with GSH there. Hook and ROG as the 10ās with Joneās in his suit watching from the stands. Joneās is obviously a fine player, but not at the moment.
Glad to see Fitzgerald getting in but a little surprised with Kearney in and Byrnes out altogether.[/QUOTE]
Iād say ROGās forthright nature doesnāt help him. Iād imagine ROG isnāt the type to make friends easily - ask Stringer and heās been trying for 20 odd years- and a few of the Welsh coaching ticket might not be his biggest fans of late. There are 2 ways for ROG to start the 3rd Test- if the second test is lost (possible) or if he comes on Saturday and turns the game around which is unlikely to happen
forthright with his mouth maybeā¦anyone can do thatā¦but with his actions of being afraid to stand up and tackle anyone bigger than him Iād imagine he loses a lot of respect?..
Yer both slightly off here lads.
ROG isnāt afraid, heās just too bloody small sometimes and gets blown away.
On the other note, ROG is honest, but if its personalities your on about its Stringer whoās would be questionable there.
Not too many outrhalves can tackle fellas bigger than them and survive scumpot, take a look at Wilkinson for evidence of that. Carter isnt even asked to do it by the ABās, although with that back row and those centres he doesnt have to.
Heās not afraid. Silly comment to be honest.
His technique of tackling high around the chest seems to allow him to get walked over.
He is just not as big as some other Tens. Having said that, if the game was focusing on 10 and as Shadow has said in the past about Munster, they woudl target OāGara and you would need Wallace to provide cover there.
So, if we were allowed 16 on the pitch ROG would be there.
I still think tactical kicks and bringing the boks back 50 metres after they sweat blood and tears to move it up the field in the ruck would be a great advantage.
Jones will just do his usual. Heās rub coal dust behind his ears, speak gibberish and bang on about how Terry Griffiths is the best snooker player in the world.
No team needs that.*

Heās taller than BOD though so should have set himself up at this stage to be able to tackle
Anyway I think this is an old old argument and no point in raking over the coals
thats fair enough but the way he goes on with his mouth about saying how heās proud enough to wear one jersey and not the otherā¦or how he reckons he should be playing on saturday ahead of welsh lads when the fact of the matter is allowances have to be made if he is pickedā¦more so than a lot of other out halvesā¦i donāt think as many outhalves are targetted as much as he is defensivelyā¦and also look so damn scared when approachedā¦yet heāll harp on about pride in this and thatā¦

BOD is fearless on a pitchā¦even his worst enemy would admit thatā¦
[quote=āGarda Sean Horganā]I thought you were talking about BOD here when he was found wanting, on the ground, begging not to be punched in the mushā¦
It reminded me of ā21ā (from the book ābringing down the houseā) where Fishburne didnāt smack yer man in the chair after ye gave him the option of āhelping him outā setting someone else up.
I wonder will we see a āloose passā from BOD on Saturday and a try for the Boks? My detecting senses are tingling.
GSH, the legendary Leinster man fired one loose pass last week to try to prize an opening but it was done safe in the knowledge that advantage was being played. Brian OāDriscoll doesnāt make mistakes on the big occasion - he thrives on the pressure and always, absolutely always, delivers in spades.

Dear-oh-dear! GSH blasphemes !! Burn him at the stake !!!
Well that explains my earlier confusion over Kearneyās inclusing in the starting XV.
Hear! Hear !
(and perhaps burning GSH might be a bit excessive. Heās normally not that badā¦ perhaps a public floggingā¦ )
