So, is it Anthony Horgan or Andrew Trimble who'll make way if Shane Horgan is fit? Hopefully the former. From The Irish Independent, http://www.unison.ie The...

Looks like the void would be in the centre Michael in which case Trimble will get the spot. EOS will pick: 15.Murphy 14.Dempsey (Unless he actually picks him...
... Richard, That's clearly the 15 Eddie has in mind, like you I have a problem with the backrow, but I feel Jamie Heaslip is playing too well to be ignored....
i agree about Heaslip, the back row selection seems a bit strange to me. If Easterby is playing - and given the reaction of Gareth Jenkins to the injury i's...
Cannot understand how if Carney wasn't going to pick Foley then he didn't kepp wally in the team, who is far better then Best AND Heaslip. I agree re: Trimble...

Betchya Easterby goes 8th man. Leamy would be alright on the blindside. Nowhere else. O'Connor has been playing fantastic rugby from what I've seen of Wasps on...

is it confirmed that Leamy is at 8. Papers this morning were suggesting that Easterby would be at 8 and Leamy at 6 john ... From: irishrugby@yahoogroups.com...
Not a bad side certainly but I don't think that they're as good as the one that faced Wales. Nonetheless it's very difficult to see how we could win. From...
Either way John, there is not one true No 8 in the entire squad. EOS picked this team on form?? O Driscoll and Casey are probably the form 2nd rows. Best and...

Ireland 12, NZ 45 Ireland hang on in there for the first 15-20 minutes, NZ get a handful of tries either side of half time. That's not a strong Irish side... ...
Problem is, there cant be a strong Irish side at the moment. Lot of rebuilding to do. Still think its a crime that Brennan isn't even any training squads. He's...

It's a brave team in some areas, and a conservative one in others. The back 3 selection is definitely a brave choice, but it's also a foolhardy one. Murphy's...

I see Leamy is playing no.8 and if he's being groomed for this position - risky but fair enough. I mean I normally criticise EOS for not risking change. He has...
