True!!!!!Dave Cahill wrote:"absent through selection" perhaps?Flash Gordon wrote:Thought Super Rob wasn't considered for the Ireland squad due to injury?
Am I reading too much into the order the players are listed in btw?
I remember the Ireland squads used to offer clues in the order. My cousin was in the frame in one position and we always knew whether he was in by whether he was named third or second in his position!

That's unusual. We don't usually announce squads like that. I thought we put the various positions together but this time around the 1st 8 forwards and 1st 7 backs read like a team.Dave Cahill wrote:"absent through selection" perhaps?Flash Gordon wrote:Thought Super Rob wasn't considered for the Ireland squad due to injury?

It could mean that Dempsey is in line to start against Wales......
As for Kearney. He's had that back strain for a while. Possibly not considered for Ireland as there was no point aggravating it. Being realistic he's not in with a shout this year. Hopefully he'll recover to get an A cap or two against Scotland and England.

Girv might get 20 minutex or a half for the weekend game to sharpen him up for the Wales game. Hope so.CM wrote:That's unusual. We don't usually announce squads like that.

You might be right on super Rob, seems a bit odd though.....

I agree, though as an impact sub he may be useful. The point I was making was that he was listed as not consider due to injury.....thecoofreak wrote:I don't think any international coach would consider playing Rob. He needs to play some more HC before he is ready for the step up.

Bloody hell lads - that reads exactly as a starting line-up! I hadn't spotted that. Well I'd be happy with that starting line-up. They did ok against the Borders.CM wrote:That's unusual.

The only way more flair could be added to that team is if they had to do a painting exhibition at half time!epaddy wrote:Id like to see them add a little more flairLeinsterman wrote:Bloody hell lads - that reads exactly as a starting line-up!
