Then you'll also have to add backrower8, propertymad, dwarf, and Plámásing at the very least because I'm fairly certain they're all the same person. Utterly ridiculous that anyone replied to the two main accounts at all over the last few months.
This is my only account and just wondering, what do loads of people here have against me? I’m just a fan voicing my opinion and facts
Bunch of oul fuddy duddys Pilotman, pay them no heed.
BTW, what airline are going to be flying with? just wondering.
You know I'm going to lose,
And gambling's for fools,
But that's the way I like it baby, I don't want to live FOREVER!

Ruddock's tackle stats consistently too low for me to be taken seriously as a Six Nations blindside..... Ruddock's defensive stats don't stack up. - All Blacks Nil, Jan 15th, 2014

It really was! The timing of the run, the speed and accuracy of that pass- all meshing time and time again consistently, was inspiring.
All of that work predicated on the quality of the clear out at the breakdown and Luke (and JGP when he came on) invariably picking the right receiver of the several offering.
That’s a blueprint right there, not just for us, but for the national team.

I wonder would Baird be better off in the backrow, at least for the early part of his career. Coming up against big English and SA packs, he might have to bulk up a bit which could slow him down a bit. He could be a PS du Toit type flanker for ireland while still playing lock against smaller packs.
I watched it back and Leo mentioned that Baird called the lineout. That's fairly ridiculous for such a young player and points to him being fast tracked.
Joy Neville is top class. It didn't actually matter in the end but her call on HT that the ball had been touched by Glasgow and brought over the dead ball line and that there had been two seconds left was absolutely brilliant, can't imagine many other TJs would have picked that up. She's great for intervening all the time but only for important stuff because of her feel for the game.

Josh Murphy is showing the instincts and appetite for work that an international No 6 needs. He had one or two line-out 'steals' which were not controlled, but his lifting, mauling, carrying and clearing-out are all of the calibre which should be rewarded by a senior green jersey. His performance last night, and in the away fixture against Glasgow, certainly convinced me that he is the form No 6 in Irish rugby at present.
It also helps that he has always tackled like a man who enjoys knocking opponents backwards. I would rate him as a potential bench candidate behind Fardy for the Q/F.
What a fantastic 80 minutes of Entertainment. Baird yes brilliant but the entire team were spot on and it was simple stuff, quick fast ball, running onto it at speed perfectly executed.
So hard to single players out as across the board it was excellent but Fardy, Baird, Deegan, Kearney, Lowe and Luke all stood out............thought Luke was excellent, simple quick ball nicely in front of carriers, simple stuff but spot on.
Baird really has to be involved v Saracens - he is that good - I wonder would they consider Baird and Ryan starting with Toner on the bench and Fardy in the backrow - having Fardy and Ryan and Baird on the pitch at the same time could be explosive...........then VDF and Doris at 8 with Deegan on the bench. With Healy, Furlong and Cronin starting and Dooley and Porter and Kelleher on the bench that is one hell of a mobile ball carrying pack. Of course that leaves out Ruddock totally....................jeepers what a talented bunch. And Murphy and Connors. Cripes......

What a time to be a Leinster Fan...........
Kelleher has to start ahead of Cronin, Kelleher is in much better form
