Gibsonā€™s passing is another level. Finn Russell and Gibson Park together is an unbelievable combination. Mitchell is a great running threat though.

Theyā€™d have to give the SANZAR lads something but it would be huge

Gibson park isnā€™t the player he was in 2024. Heā€™s on the slide.

Russell could get a test by default but Owen Farrell will be togged and warmed up from the off to take his place.

3872

Heā€™s not indeed but his passing is still that bit ahead I think. Farrell is there because the two English lads arenā€™t all that. Jack Crowley is better than both goal kicking aside

Conan is a better player than Ben Earl on that today

Poor aul Hansen has been woeful since Hodnett dislocated his shoulder that time. Just hasnā€™t found his usual rhythm at all since.

11 irish starters?? Surely not

3877

Thatā€™s what I think heā€™ll pick.

Porter, Sheehan, beirne/mccarthy, van der flier, Gibson park, aki, Lowe and furlong are pretty much nailed on.

I donā€™t see any real standout at six. Maybe Morgan starts and beirne loses out. Conan isnā€™t great but heā€™ll hardly start Ben earl. Kinghorn and Hansen is maybe a coin toss.

That stupid thing where he puts his leg out and then keeps running in the same direction. Having him in a team is like having a lad on the back of your motorbike whoā€™s off his chops on ecstacy.

Farrell is there because his dad wants a few more quid in the family accounts. Sin e.

Incredible rugby here.

Best of luck to Irish international Jack Carty on the opening of his cutting-edge padel hall in Carrowbrowne.

As I said before: the next world war will be fought between Hyroxers and Padelers.

Lovely piece on Sir Anthony in the Paper of Record this morning @ChairmanDan

What about this new Rugby competition with franchises throughout the world? 10 of England squad apparently signed up.

3885

I doubt theyā€™ll have any players left for it after all the concussions

3886

Any lad signing up for it would want their head examined.
