What are the stars for

capped last season.

[wixfjord]

English side is here.



Am I right in saying Penny is the only one of our guys who has made a senior debut? Hill, Dingwall and Smith are all regular premiership players for them. Should be a tough test.

[mildlyinterested]

they will lose by 20+, keeping it closer will be an achievement.

can't believe Sean French isn't starting.

[mildlyinterested]

Two players in Ireland u20 pack with a listed weight below 100kg in Niall Murray at lock listed at 6'7, 99kg and Martin Moloney listed at 6'2, 98kg.

[neill_m]

they will lose by 20+, keeping it closer will be an achievement.

Paddy Power have Ireland 14 point underdogs on the even money bet.

they wont cover.

[tingman]

It will be a sad day if we lose to a team with 3 Ollies, an Olly and a Dolly


1 Ollie Campbell....there's only 1 Ollie Campbell...1 Ollie... (i'll get my coat)

Don't let the door smack our ass on the way out....

[dropkick]

If you look at the overall profiles of the starting 15, it's a fairly lightweight side. The backline in particular are on the small side.


Maybe they're going for a fast and loose type of game rather than try keep the score down. Keep a few quality players on the bench to try and do some damage later on when the game opens up.


I expect an onslaught from England but hopefully Penny in particular can be a thorn in their side. Hodnett too.

Yeah, we could really get pumped in this one. That's a very strong looking English team. Unfortunate that Baird is missing this one, I was looking forward to seeing them. He has picked up lots of individual injuries this year, just been unfortunate.

Yeah none have been serious in nature, not uncommon for young locks who are still developing/maturing. hopefully he gets back soon, could be a re-aggravation of his earlier injury and in the push to get back for Ireland duty he came back too early.

yeah the backrow is essentially three 7's.

Great performance from Ireland. Some huge shifts from some of the Leinster lads too. Penny and H Byrne were excellent
