If Mick OâDriscoll is playing at world cup level for Ireland in 14 months then weâre in trouble.
John Hayes too. Heâll be nearly 40
I would agree with you somewhat, although Mick is probably after his best season of his career, would take Donnacha Ryan myself as he has the ability to play 6 as wellâŚHayes will be brought if he is still standing as we just donât have 5 better props than himâŚ
I have great time for Micko, but Donnacha has more talent, and importantly more agression. Iâd be hoping he has a big season after all the time off heâs had.
Ireland really should be beating some makey uppy team like this.
This makey uppey team have a far superior squad to us, theyâd rattle our full team, all fit and well.
Smugby died there ages ago, I dunno why ye are all still talking about it.
A New Zealand Farm Hand XV would beat this Ireland team.
I think a farm hand team may have beaten the Lions 4 years ago Bandage.
Decent showing today and some mixed performances. Sexton and Wallace were both excellent. They really do play well with each other and have a good understanding. What a difference it makes to have a 12 who can pass and kick. Ronan did well too as did OâDonoghue. On other hand Reddan kicked very poorly and Henry was yard off the pace. That said both should start against Aussies imo. Horgan was terrible. Slow as fook, no aggression and didnât even compete for high balls like he wanted to win the contests.
Fair assessment Lar, Horgan is finished, a sad end to a stellar career, its sad to watch to be honest and not how he should be remembered.
In fairness, I called that Shaggy was finished at this level last Autumn. Some posters with less perception and a dearth of tactical knowledge were swayed by a couple of intercept tries and were promoting his recall ahead of the Six Nations championship. Heâs well finished. Clermont further emphasised that. And these games will too.
Buckley will be 30 in October - hardly building for the future with him Puke!
Liar.
Sir Martin Johnsonâs young lions are doing a good job in repairing the battered pride of a nation in Sydney at the moment. Flowing champagne rugby from âthe new Jason Robinsonâ, Chris Ashton. He metaphoricaaly boxed the Rabbit over the ears when he destroyed him for a magnificent try.
Iâm watching on a live stram with Australian commentary. Christ theyâre some nation of arrogant cunts.
Iâve just heard Stuart Barnes say that Australia obviously didnât do their research on these new England players and obviously thought all they had to do was turn up. FFS - theyâre only leading by 2 points at half time. What an utter utter cunt.
Take that Barnes you cunt :guns:
where is that game been played? the sydey football stadium or the olympic stadium-
Olympic.
ANZ Stadium
isnt that in bris vegas?
