Re: Ospreys Away - Sat 24th March 2018, 7.35pm S4C

Game being on Saturday will probably help us get a few back. I'd imagine some will be back in training by Thursday. Certainly you'd expect some bench appearances. I'd like Carberry to get 40mins at OH. Carberry is going to be the big dilemma for a while. Johnny has to be carefully managed now. Carb...

Re: Six Nations 2018: XV of the Tournament

Nice call on Shingler and Earls Disagree on centres, Farrell went missing yesterday, Jones was suspect in defence Definitely Hadleigh Parkes for me. Probably Aki if we are allowing 2 centres and not a 12 and a 13 I thought yesterday was Farrell’s poorest game, but to his credit he has performed ver...

Re: Greatest Irish rugby team ever

When you think about EOS and the players he had, and what they actually won (nothing); and then you see him on the box criticising Joe...yeah. Yup One that sticks in my head, is the game we lost in Cardiff in 05, gameplan seemed to be pass it straight to BOD and nobody else every time. Was obvious ...

We were very lucky with injuries in 2009

We probably had harder Scottish and English teams this time too

Re: England v 6 Nations Champions 2018 Twickenham March 17

Thatll do nicely

Factor in the players thatll be returning from injury and Wales and things look kinda good

A series win in Australia is the next target and we should be favourites there too

Re: England v 6 Nations Champions 2018 Twickenham March 17

Owens is good at spotting off the ball stuff so we need to keep our discipline. I'd imagine England will go out to rough us up so we really want to avoid any cards or penalty reversals. With no Mike Brown theyre at a serious angry face defeceit. I do expect Te'o to target Johnny all day. Our pack w...
