So, now that this tour is dead- two questions. How many think that a full strength Ireland would beat the boks When will Kidney get a shot at the Lions ? T ...

I have to be honest that I'm not a huge fan of the Lions concept partly because I'm selfish and think that the Lions doesn't bring anything positive to the...
Hi Colin i strongly disagree with that. I think this Lions tour has been a hugely positive experience for all those involved, BOD has said that he really...
Ireland will have a more coherent defensive strategy, quicker distribution from the base of scrum, ruck and maul; a more flexible and versatile lineout and at...
I expect that Colin has been reading Planet Rugby forums again ☺ Nonetheless it is a serious point that Ireland as a team might benefit more from touring on...

I'd fairly much agree with you, Colin. There is little doubt that guys like Earls, Kearney and Fitgerald will have picked up an awful lot from the older...

Let’s be a little more careful about what we say. There’s scope for offence whether intended or otherwise and there have been a couple of posts today that...

... He sneaked back in some time during the 6N and is showing no signs of going away again... The Lions haven't done anything bad to Ireland this time around....
Shane Williams? Really? I despair sometimes... Bull might get a well earned cap, though. Good to see. South Africa: Kirchner (Bulls); Ndungane (Sharks), Fourie...
Poor enough team, IMO. I could not have possibly imagined 6 months ago the following players even getting on the squad, not to mind starting in the final test:...
Worsley is a robot, to whom you can give a particular job, send him out and tell him to do it. Croft did nothing in the 2nd test. Wurzel will tackle til his...
On the basis of the first two test, a full strength Ireland could - though not necessarily would beat the Boks. we have beaten the Boks in the recent past and...
November in Croker will be interesting. Will the Boks send a full strength team north? No excuses not to. If they do, the likes of Ferris, Flannery, O'Leary,...
The ref is still poor bur better than last 2 tests. The BeAst still allowed to drive in at an angle. Much better All around- I think a full Irish team would...

Great performance in the end, but will only exacerbate the "what-ifs" from the first 2. For example, if bringing on Ellis and moving Philips to centre was a...
Wasn't a full strength SA team, while a nice win, IMO, not really that big a deal. A full SA team would have been a different story, unfortunately. I hope the...
Praise to John Hayes too. Vickery was starting to fade after Rapellele was replaced by a real hooker but the Bull did some might scrummaging. His power lifting...
I think I might have been after doing the unforgivable...reading a Stephen Jones article. Fair play to the guys yesterday. I only got to see the game earlier ...
Jones is fantastically one-eyed again today. The man is a moron, no more about it. To: irishrugby@yahoogroups.com From: colin.burkley@... Date: Sun, 5...
The move last week should have been to bring Williams on and put Wally into the centre. Putting Rog in that position was never going to work. Accident waiting...
