Henry unlucky think Wales might pick Tupuric and Warburton needed Henry to turnover ball nest 7 in these islands.

Gilroy is class with the ball maybe the heavy wet weather does not suit his dancing feet.
A good dry day in Cardiff roof on and he coud make hay.
Dunn why Trimble not in squad and fuck off with Rog sure hell come on at 60 with Sexton to 12.

anyone have any suggestions to where 2 welshmen can watch this game? family is visiting this weekend so would be nice to go to a pub with the old man for the match.

Non-city center/pref near D12? Im not too familiar with decent bars outside of city center

Murray a different player this season. Really very solid and quick

The less he thinks about the game and plays with instinct the better he is. He has the most talent and if the coaches leave him alone and stop fucking with him he'll do very well.

It's hard with all these different guys looking to have an input at National level to just tell them to fuck off and that you'l play your own game, but in 80% of the cases that's what they should do.

My old man really has trouble with foreign names. We were talking about Barcelona this morning and while Flabbergast kept me amused for a good while, his assertion that Sanchez-Vicario shouldn't be on the team left me rightly confused.

Is your old man a tennis fan perchance?

[conspicuous]

I agree with the bolded bit but the bench is what could cost us.

Front row options are weak both propping in the scrum and with the overthrow king in the lineout.

DOC?? - a lack of better options sees him there. Not his fault in fairness.

The backline options are hardly inspiring.

Reddan, ROG, Sexton and Earls finishing the game is hardly good if we're chasing a score.


As for Zebo in defence it's not so much his tackling as his aerial abilities and his positioning.

But that could be a munster 2011/2012 thing as much as anything and it may be better under Penney - I haven't seen enough to call it.

I'm a big fan of kilcoyne but the other front row reserves are a liability. Harsh on DOC he's played like a man reborn this season and will play a vital role in defence
Reddan ad ROG are lucky to be still in the squad
Zebo has been brilliant under the high ball this season for club and country. It's actually been a standout feature of his game and lead to Kidney aicking him at full back for Ireland in November

D 12 Bradys Terenure right in center of village can get a decent feed and Ken Dohertys snooker club is adjoined i think.

If you see a sign on the door saying "no tracksuits" there's a good chance you will be welcome to come in and watch the rugby match. If not, they will probably be showing Celtic or United

I'd still take a fit Dan Touhy ahead of DOC.

I hope you're right about Kilcoyne.

Paul Marshall and Madigan for me on the bench. UL Paddy Jackson and Isaac Boss.

Tuohy hasn't had a good season. Was outshone by DOC in the Fiji match which put him down Deccie's pecking order. He's had injury problems since then and will have to do a lot at club level before he features again. He may struggle though because for me Henderson is looking more like a second row than a 6 and will have his position locked up for club and country by the end of this year.

Kilcoyne was born to play rugby in the front row. You can't coach that level of physicality and love of contact. He's not the complete ticket yet but he's on the road. Cian Healy is world class but now we have serious back up in this position

I'd go with Marshall and Madigan/Jackson on the bench. Reddan has been poor this season and ROG was finished some time ago

Zebo, Kearney, gilroy is as exciting a back three as we've had in years.

Very happy with the boldness of the selection. Was expecting Decie to have John Hayes and Eric Miller playing.

Must be the bravest Decie selection for a competitive game?

Think his hand has been forced.
Kearney picks himself.
Tommy Bowe is injured.
Trimble off form.
Fitz just back from long term injury.
And Earls thinks hes a center not playing great.

Kidding me will say hes giving lads a chance and he is but only because he has damn all choice.
Like the back 3 all right.

What decisions did he have to make?

Kearney is a lock at full back.

Trimble, Fitzgerald, McFadden, Earls, D Kearney or the two he picked.

I doubt he gets roasted for any of those, or that any of them let him down terribly (apart from Trimble ).

He's hardly rolled the dice on the bench which will make or break him. ROG and Reddan??

You could argue Fitzpatrick, Cronin, DOC, Kilcoyne, Earls and Henry pick themselves but the replacement outhalves were active decisions and that plus our attacking and defensive style will be the sum total of his active contribution to the winning or losing of this game.

He's even brought in McNulty for the head shrinkage so he can't be claiming credit for that aspect any more either.

definitely.

Probably the closest selection to the right starting XV he's gotten right in years!

Reddan and ROG should have made way for Marshall & Madigan on the bench though.

POM/Henry interchangeable between first XV and bench spot too.

I wouldn't of been surprised to see him pick a back three of Kearney, MacFadden, Trimble. Even when his hand has seemed forced in the past, he has continued to be extremely conservative.

Agree with you on the bench and there are some other calls I'd of welcomed but there's no question that this is a bold selection by decides standards, regardless of form or injuries.

[Bubbleking]

Madigan needs more top level playing time before getting a spot on the bench imo. Just in case sexton got injured and it was a crucial game Id still rather have experience there for now. Madigan will get his shot next year depending how he plays for Leinster.

[Strewelpeter]

Yep it's too early for Fitz. I would have Henry at 7 and SOB at 6 but it's marginal.

This except its not a bit marginal O'Mahoney would be good for impact last ten minutes for whichever of the two is more battered.

Murray a different player this season. Really very solid and quick

Seriously he's gone backwards over the last 6 months. Woeful in the Wolfhounds game and pretty anonymous in the last 2 Ulster matches.

Replacements don't look very deep and I think Trimble is a better option for utility cover.

I thought he was doing a decent job of trying to fight for his place in those games and TBH I'd marginally prefer to have him on the bench than Earls especially if we were defending a lead in the last 20 minutes.
If BOD doesn't see out the pace and there's a significant chance he won't be able to then they'll be plonking Earls back in for him and no matter how much he wants to fill in there its just not the spot for him.
Add to that if Zebo doesn't raise his game to the level needed on Saturday, a level I don't think he's at yet we could be in serious bother for cover in the backs.

Like the back 3 all right.

I agree to a point but I still expected Deccie to go with Earls at 11. The other point is that Deccie is at the end of his contract which is unlikely to be renewed if what I'm hearing is true. It's easy for his to take chances now with nothing to lose
As regards the game on Saturday, for all the talent at 11, 14 and 15 on both sides I expect this to be won between 1 and 10. Both sides have so much to lose if they get this one wrong so it will be a cagey affair, especially in the first half. I will be quietly confident if Wales select two groundhogs in their backrow as has been mooted. The Irish backrow has a good bit of ballast and balance to it so I would hope we get the upper hand here this time round. As for the set piece we should be targeting the Welsh lineout given their injury woes at lock and securing possession on our own throw. The latter is dependent on Best staying free of the yips and staying on the pitch. If the Ulsterman is having a bad day with his arrows or we have to rely on Cronin then all bets are off. Mike Ross will play an equally important role at scrum time where I'm sure the Taffs are targetting us

Wales aren't as bad as a run of 7 losses on the bounce might suggest. For once they aren't mouthing off in the run up to a big game which suggests a quiet, steely focus rateher than the usual verdal diarrhoea they engage in. This is also a Lions year which means everyone is playing for places even when the national team might be struggling. I do expect Ireland to win this though. Wales are a real momentum side and thrive on confidence. At the moment they have none of either. Ireland have a strong side out with many players in excellent form at club level of late. I expect us to get a significant edge up front and make it count.

From a betting perspective I think Ireland are overpriced for this game. 11/8 with Stan James is the best price availabe for match betting. The alternative handicap of Ireland -10 is also worth a cheely little nibble when you look at Ireland's winning margins over Wales in the 6N

Really psyched to tune into hear hitch. Will be tuning in, possibly with milf.
I'lll let you know what she makes of it Hitch, I'm sure her approval is a significant concern of yours.

At the library, getting nothing done. The woman beside me has eaten 4 kitkats (tbf, they are fun sized), her phone keeps going off and she has managed to let the sound go off on her laptop a number of times while she listens to shite music and watches Raw on the RTE player.

The two schoolgirl to my right were having a great auld natter and laugh, speculating about who on their facebooks may be gay. Tbh, I preferred them doing that to actually working which they started to recently as then I felt bad about the fact that I have done nothing but piss about here and facebook.

Offered them chocolate muffins as I bought a pack of four in Iceland but they declined politely.
