Best of luck in his recovery, tough injury for the fella. Hopefully people like Tomas O'Leary and Alan Quinlan can offer some advice to him. ... From:...
No point in rushing him back either. It's a big blow to our chances for next year but it gives Earls a chance to show what he can do (and play in one position...
Bad news indeed Peadar. Luke was one of the stars of the GS team. Hopefully he'll recover sooner than the 6 month prediction. Myles ...

I was surprised in the first half that we seemed to want to run everything at the Wallabies. Very often we were starting these runs from inside our own 22, we...

I'm not sure about Paddy Wallace. He certainly added quick hands but he didn't offer much of a running threat until late in the game and his decision making...
Rocky, using George Hook to back up your points is the last refuge of the scoundrel !!! Paddy Wallace did play well though. Must be hard for the backs to do...
Am i the only one who thinks Ireland should have well and truly been stuffed yesterday? Our scrum for the most part was appalling, we were counter rucked far...
Frank Being in that corner, I had a perfect view of the kick and it was 90% guaranteed to be a try if Bowe had caught it but with two defenders, he hadn't a...
I think some of the decision making was very questionable yesterday, especially at penalty time. That crossfield kick was silly. I'm all for ambitious play,...
Erm...you'll find it's now known as an Apatosaurus! :) Thought Ireland were guilty of trying too hard in the first half and not doing the basics right. Rog...

I too thought ROG answered his critics(of which he has quite a few in the North!) and played his best game in a wee while. The only person I heard detract from...

We had the better of the first half but the Aussies played very well for much of the second half. Our backrow got eaten alive at the breakdown. A very good...
I'm not convinced that Earls is an inside centre and BOD should not be moved in. I thought Paddy W had a good game and even Hooky thought so too. If someone...

I only saw the second half - herewith my thoughts on what I did see… we did well to come back twice from 7 down and a draw was a fair result. With our pack...
So predictions? I'm a little worried that many people seem to be dismissing the Aussies. Their pack is solid and they have a good scrum for the first time in...
For all that, he's still borrowing Leinster's backline coach on a part time basis, though, Myles. And Steve, nobody would blame Kidney if Sexton were to start...

obviously Kidney's record suggests he knows what he is doing. Also as he has shown he does use his bench, I hope that Sexton & Co (in particular Court and...
But it is interesting that all of us who have posted seem to be of the same opinion regarding ROG and JS. And about DK. Maybe ROG will have a stormer - he'll...

Somehow Kidney defied all his critics and has won 9/10 games since he became Ireland's coach. Add that to his already glowing CV and I'm prepared to defer to...

Personally I would have given Sexton the start but I'm playing J5 metro rugby and Kidney is a grand slam winning coach. We'll just have to trust that he knows...
Pretty much as most pundits (bar Hook) had it. A case could have been made for giving Sexton a start but Kidney clearly doesn't want to throw him in the deep...
