doubtful, that would be like people complaining that paul green has been dropped.
I see larry is still persisting with this wind up.
Murphy
Bowe
BOD
DāArcy
Trimble
Sexton
Stringer
Heaslip
Wallace
Ferris
MOD
DOC
Buckley
Cronin
Healy
Varley
Court
Toner
Leamy
Reddan
ROG
Earls
This lad is starting to take the piss now.
You are getting as boring as larry now. Who would you pick instead of Wallace and Murphy? The MOD alternative is obvious.
Disappointed he didnāt try Earls at 13, BOD at 12. Would love to see that tried out. Also very disappointed Court is out, we are playing the Argies for fuck sake, Buckley nor Healy will beat their opposites in the scrum.
Sean OāBrien and Keith Earls - thought it would be fairly obvious Kev. Has Murphy even been involved with the squad before this game?
No, but that was by agreement i believe.
Earls at 15 you are saying? I would say Murphy is a better 15 than Earls at this stage, especially against the Argies who may kick alot.
SOāB is not ready yet, didnāt do well on his chance. Good man to bring on, but heās gone for a different split. Leamy is coming into a bit of form, and maybe they just rate him higher and want him to keep going.
I see Jerry Holland was pushing the same point as you today in the indo about Earls/OāDriscoll in the centreā¦When Keareny was ruled out I was fairly confident Geordan Murphy would be 15, he is our best counter-attacking full back and the new rules should suit him and is a far more rounded full back than Earlsā¦Would agree with you re Court, he is a far better scrummager than Buckley and you would feel that Buckley would be far more suited to an impact sub coming on with 20 minutes to go bulldozing into fellasā¦
Would have had no complaints if David Wallace was dropped given that he has had a quiet few games and given his ageā¦
That was Jason Holland, and its something talked about in Munster all the time, it was suggested to me a couple of months ago and i thought it was a good idea. Imagine how much BOD would bring him on.
Murphy is probably a better 15 alright but Murphy is the wrong side of 30 and we should be looking at other options. Earls has played plenty of times at full back for Munster and always think heās done ok there.
Sean OāBrien is more than ready. He had one game where he didnāt set the world alight and heās been written off because of it. Heās been Leinsters best player so far this season and at the very least should be in the 22. Iād have no issues with Leamy starting ahead of him but I donāt know how theyād set the back row up then. Wallace is 35 next July. If weāre trying to build a team for the world cup next year we should be looking at other options rather than starting Wallace in 3 of the 4 games.
I agree on Wallace. I just think, they donāt think, SOB is a 7. And he aināt going to dislodge Ferris.
Iām a big advocate of youth and bringing them in. Iām pretty sure though heāll be more involved in the new year. The step up is huge though Mac, remember that.

What are you talking about? I thought we agreed on most matters regarding team selection. I feel betrayed
Hopefully Ireland will show more sublime picking-the-ball-up-off-the-ground skills on Sunday and light up the Aviva.
I watched the Ireland-New Zealand game earlier. DāArcy was Irelandās best player - give it up larry for fuck sake. Paddy Wallace is vastly inferior to the Leinsterman.
How many of Devon, Geordan and Girvan are playing ??
some guy was on the radio was saying that some player had great āball carrying skillsā :lol:
a sport where the ability to hold something & move forward simultaneously is seen as a sublime skill :lol:
good expose on tg4 about rogbees hun history
Most, but Wallace is simply not the answer. He improved immeasurably in the past 2 years, but heās still not better than the other options.
Bandage - You were smoking the pipe that day if you thought DāArcy was the best player. Ferris for one was streets ahead.
Not sure why the soccer lads have a pop off rugby. I have played all 4 major sports in Ireland for some sort of decent period of time, and i found soccer by far the easiest, and the one i played to the highest level. Rugby is played with a fucking oval ball ffs. In order of difficulty;
Rugby
Football
Hurling
Soccer
Must be noted i had a hurley in my hand very young, so maybe thats why i found that easy. Anyone who doesnāt see the wonderful skill set the Aussies and Kiwiās have at the moment is just a fuck tard with blinkers. I donāt expect people to like the game, thats a matter of taste, but appreciate the skills.
Ashton just made shite of himself trying to smash Matfield, Matfield barely even felt him :lol:
Fuck it he doesnt know where he is!
George Clancy really is a horrible cunt of a refā¦wants to be centre of attentionā¦
Have the feeling England could do a job on South Africa here, they look well up for it
Some try by samoa there.
there should be two cracking matches on this evening with NZ v wales and france V australia
