what are peoples thoughts on the big game this weekend against Australia... As a team selection exercise there are a few interesting calls to be made - who...
I'm worried about the lack of pace in the wing cover. I mean, Hickie now pulls out and the names that are being mentioned as possibilities are frankly quite...

Hi Justin agree that Maggs has in the past been shown up for pace, and like you say he should stick to the centre. Topping has been in great from recently, and...
Most definitely NOT a selection for october, especially in the backline. Mat Rogers has also started playing club rugby again. Could be back for the Bledisloe...

One question, why oh why oh why didn't Gavin Duffy travel? I mean he's a bloody good winger, I didn't see the trial match but 3 tries speak for themselves. ...
Agree fully about Gavin Duffy. I'd also go for Bell as he's good in defence and would even have him on the wing ahead of Topping. Topping might have been in...
Christ, Justin, I hope your Wallabies selection doesn't go up against your Ireland selection. I can see them going toe to toe up front, but once the Wobblies...
Oops. Just looked at the squad for the tour, and I made some mistakes; I'd put Bell at outside centre, and Anthony Horgan on the wing (how come so little...
Donal, Personally I wouldn't like to see Horgan make his debut against the aussies on the wing (Weird tha he hasn't played before). I guess there is the sink ...
... Its been announced over night.....Murphy at outside centre, Corrigan at tight head, should be interesting Ireland ring the changes Humphreys will hope to...
so here it is... Ireland: Girvan Dempsey, James Topping, Geordan Murphy, Kevin Maggs, John Kelly; David Humphreys (capt), Peter Stringer; Marcus Horan, Shane...
Got me thinking, how many players are Ireland missing that could have played? Hayes, Wood, Sheehan, Fitzpatrick, Davidson (probably not fair to include him),...
1. Longwell 2. Wavy Davy......found out v England !!! 3. Kelly, good at Provincial level, not on International stage...6N !! 4. Not sure about Murphy playing...
Don't know why you're worried about Longwell, it was widely accepted throughout the 6N that he was one of our best players - the work he got through was...
regarding the 12 players who'll be going home after Saturday: 1) Have all 12 been decided? 2) Are they all in the starting line-up for Saturday's game? and 3)...
Stu Forgot to mention Topping on the wing !!! Cheers Glenn Flanagan EMF3 Site Integrity Ext 3436 Mail : Glen_Flanagan@... <mailto:Glen_Flanagan@...> ...
Is O'Sullivan trying to 'multi-task' players ? Hence one of the most potentially explosive backs in the game today, being played VERY out of position, even...

;-) We'll see, like i said if we get Topping at his best we're quids in, but I agree that if he has an off day it could be painful to watch... Stu [Non-text...
Fair enough ! Like Justin said maybe a beating wouldn't do us any harm ! Cheers Glenn Flanagan EMF3 Site Integrity Ext 3436 Mail : Glen_Flanagan@......
I have to say, I argee with quite a lot of what you're saying, I'd like to add that we really could have experimented quite heavily and Oz trounce us quite...
Does anyone find it strange that all theses guys are getting injured at training ? I believe Ireland are supposed to provide a "real" team (not an A team) for ...
I have to say that although I would like to see some more experimentation - Duffy, D'Arcy and maybe one or two others, I think that the worst thing that could...
Stu, I don't wish to be downbeat on your view that we should win and that should help us win our group in the RWC, but we haven't exactly done well when...

Maybe not justin, but we have to get out of that mentality. Like I said, I think that a win will do us the world of good. [Non-text portions of this message...

Good to see that everyone has such a positive attitude to our boys. We MIGHT not win, but I beleive we CAN. Have you got next weeks lottery numbers as well? ...
