lol @ quick question

also see bolded bit. I'm reading this as the club had to have won the cup while the player was playing (albeit with a different club at the time). Is this right?

Nah, should have worded it better. Just to have played for 4 winners but never won it.

I think you've misread the question - Celtic never won the European Cup during Robbie Keane's career.

perhaps he wants to keep the squad stable for the next world cup. Wouldn't want to blood the players now so they can be tried and tested when the time comes

Crazy.

OUT: Cullen is injured, O'Callaghan has been poor for two years. Paddy Wallace, not up to it.

IN: Dan Touhy has been immense for Ulster, Lukey Fitz playing some great stuff.

Apologies for poor wording. Just to have played for 4 winners (at anytime in history) but not won it.

Only one player to get anyway.

At least 4 of the wolfhounds team have a good chance of making the 22 for the 6ns. Better to have them play another game then just have them train. Unless you think there are some players left off that long combined list who should be picked I think we have to wait to see the team and subs for the wales game before declaring judgement.

**V for Vendetta** · 18-01-12, 14:09

In relation to Luke fitz he needs a game or two as he's coming back from injury. A lock for the 6ns 22 man squad imo.

Jaap Stam

**V for Vendetta** · 18-01-12, 14:13

I really hope Eoin o malley and Rhys ruddock break through to the senior panel over the course of this 6ns. Both of them are smashing players and will be huge for Ireland over the coming years.

An interesting question is who of the foreign playing contingent has been hardest hit by the home provinces recruitment bias. Ryan Caldwell or Roger Wilson for me.

Also no mention of Richardt Strauss. I know he's got a minor injury but I'd love to know when he becomes Ireland eligible as I'd like to see him getting a cap asap.

**careca** · 18-01-12, 14:13
