I understand Bowe is on crutches because of an achilles tendon problem? That's not a good thing at this stage. Then - what's with O'Gara being on crutches for...
Hi Richard I picked Dempsey, POC, DOC, Best and Hayes to give the team a core of first choice players - wouldn't want us to make the same mistake that Gareth...
Good shout Stuart and I hope you're right. The one omission is G. Murphy as I don't see him as automatic selection; surely he has Duffy and Bowe as...

Fair call Stu - Peter's point is also 100% correct. It hardly seems real that the the RWC is 4 weeks away. I think if we were facing France or Argentina first...
John, To be honest I think you're being optimistic saying that we're adequately covered at prop and outhalf. It would be fair to say that we know the...

John, Fair comments! My only concern with Wallace is that he really hasn't been given a decent run, you most probably have seen him play more than I have but I...

Agree with the logic about Q but I think F is ahead of H. Personally I'd have had 17:13 split as I don't see B or C getting a game. But it looks like 16:14 and...

well, judging on the game on sat, we will win or lose by the injuries to our first XV... I like taking carney, he gives us a bit of an X factor... bowe just...
So do we start making offerings to ensure that our first choice back row & O'Gara stay fit for the entirety of the competition? Wallace had a rough game but he...
I don't think that Wallace had as bad a game as people are making it out............... He was murdered by Boss' constant taking of 2 steps he didn't need to ...
I thought wallace played well, even though he kept getting smashed by the scots, he kept making breaks and usually he made a few yards with each one... okay he...
