Re: Summer tour to Australia
There isn’t the same market for pure opensides in Ireland that there is in the SH. We tend to favour 6.5s, even our specialist opensides are often able to move cover the backrow.
It’s harder to balance the backrow for groundhog opensides in Ireland.

There was an argument for giving last weeks team another go.
There was also the argument that picking our GS team was the way to go.
A win today will justify the selection.

Mirror, Mirror on the Wall who's the greatest player of them all? It is Drico your majesty.

Jesus I get that they are short of money but could the Aussies not afford someone who could actually hold a note, to sing Irelands Call?
Re: Summer tour to Australia
They exposed our hesitation in defence. Yellow card for Oz

13 points a good haul for the bin
Re: Summer tour to Australia
IRFU really need to up their Twitter game. I want to know what's going on, not just when Ireland score.

Thanks. First thing I hear is Tremenjous bigging up Munster players
Re: Summer tour to Australia
Sexton alone has upped our performance from last week 10%.
POM, Leavy having a big impact.
Scannell showing he deserves his spot too.

Leavy out for second half...
Re: Summer tour to Australia
Bringing on Herring right when he had to make a clutch throw on their line was an unbelievably poor call from Schmidt.

Re: Summer tour to Australia
Harsh on Earls for no try, he did brilliantly. I can understand the McGrath call but...
One more penalty and Oz have to ship another yellow.

Re: Summer tour to Australia
Ozzy commentators saying after Furlong's try that he has run more metres than any other Irish player.
Thought Scannell did well, O'Mahony having a very good game. Henshaw much better at 12

Re: Summer tour to Australia
Thought live that o'mahony should have walked for that lineout. Repeat confirms it.
Re: Summer tour to Australia
