If you’re going 6-2, Murray is a more useful emergency 10 or winger than Casey

Frawley is the back up ten.
“Mouthwatering” is how Andy Farrell describes the prospect of Ireland’s Six Nations opener against France in Marseille tomorrow night, but it’s a daunting enough one too. As Gerry Thornley reminds us, “since 1972, Ireland have won just three times in 27 games away to France” - and those wins, in 2000, 2014 and 2018, “were by margins of two points”. Little wonder, then, that Ronan O’Gara reckons a triumph in Marseille “would rank as one of the great Irish victories”, Farrell concurring with that view.
It will be fascinating to watch.
Wonder will Dupont even watch it as he’s off playing tag rugby.

Would you believe I was popping into this thread to mention it?
It was referenced on the 5pm sports news on the radio earlier.
A Thursday captain’s run just doesn’t sit well with me.

Chocolatemice said exactly this 5 years ago and @gilgamboa savagely attacked him for it.
As always, CM was way ahead.
In the comments: “Rugby is the only reason most of the fat kids at my school ran at all”
Gerry Thornley has given a nod to a French victory in his column today
Dark days
France are 100% going to win this evening. 32-17 with two late consolation tries for Ireland.
I’d say Gerry is having a great time sampling the local plonk in Marseille.

I’d say they’re being very loose with the term “run”.
