Something obviously went wrong for Jimmy in training as he had a good six nations and is the most obvious 23 imo.
I do wonder with Ireland do we have anybody who can create something from nothing to win a game for us?
Both Jordan and Barrett can do that for New Zealand.
Itās 4 years ago all over again
GT normally gets the team selection info spot on.
Not recently heās constantly getting it wrong. Sure he dropped van der flier for the boks game and started Murray for Scotland.
Maybe Farrell is using him as a double agent
Heās had a tremendous 18 months or so. It was a complete bolt from the blue when Farrell selected him for the 2022 6 Nations. What Farrell saw in training has come to fruition on the pitch.
The whole thing is falling apart for Oireland.
Iām going heavy in on NZ with smaller stakes on NZ-5 and NZ-10.
If Ireland win Iāll pretend to be happy.
NZ will be favs by weekend when the rest of the team news leaks
NRL taking all the good rugby players
Shades of 2015 with all the injuries. Did the All Blacks ship any auld knock in the armchair rides against Namibia, Italy and Uruguay?
He has improved immensely to be fair too under Farrell and co.
Sounds like Ryan and Hansen are gone.
Iād bring in big Joe and Jimmy.
Thatād be my call too. Undecided about 23. If Henshaw was fit heād be automatic choice but I think they might go with Big Stu or Earlsy.
Theyāve been saying that since the Auckland (now NZ) Warriors launched.
Weāre going to be, once again, 4 years on from Tokyo Stadium, one injury away from Earls playing centre, against New Zealand.
The 4 years cycle guys.
If Dave Kilcoyne can come off the bench against World Champions and not cost us the game I think we can live with Earlsy off the bench in the last 15. Weāre fucked if he starts though.
Iāve had it confirmed that Mack Hansen is fine.
Seems odd theyād name the team today unless he is fine.
Good news from the training paddock, the mood in the sheds will be lifted
Mack hit the straps well in yesterdays session - heās good to go
Heāll front up
