Re: Training squad

Shan even on his best day Fitz is a liability and I will be surprised if he is still a 1st choice winger for Leinster in 2 years time although he his connections at Leinster could influence that prediction. International full backs are seldom attacking options ie running into the line ( unless the t...

Re: Training squad

Neil maybe I made a mistake but you did write Kearney(Jones) Bowe Fitz (Trimble Earls) which made me believe Fitz would be your first choice not third he would definitely not be my first Boss would not be my first choice at scrum half but he as I have stated he does provide a Plan B which as you so ...

Re: Training squad

"Siege Mentality" red hand- hardly the correct term Never in my post did I say Cave was a 12 -- Spence is because he has two attributes P Wallace doesn't the ability to break a tackle and to go into contact without spilling the ball which is Paddy's greatest failure because you at best you...

Re: If you were coach for a day...

Mike bar tackling and defensive lines what else is there? At leinster the defence has played exactly the same way for at least five years. Kicking ? At leinster that's left to Sexton and if you have to be coached to kick -- then serious questions should be asked of those who signed the player up. Ki...

Re: Training squad

Proof that BoD has some clout-- the inclusion of P Wallace a player who showed a lot of promise in his early twenties but in the last year has failed to improve and if anything owes his game time for Ulster to Caves injury . Spence has a greater potential at this time as an inside centre than Paddy,...

Re: Training squad

lack of game time for Cave is a given and could be the reason for lack of fitness but fitness can be acquired quite quickly and to a certain extent you might say he looked fitter than O Driscoll at the end of the season who appeared to carrying injury. Cave's pluses for me are the fact that defensiv...

Re: Training squad

The training squad is 43 95% are predictable which of course makes it appear unimaginative. I disagree with Neil F regarding Cave I can see logic in the exclusion of Carr in that the truth is Ireland have better wingers available included in the squad who may not actual play. McFadden has played a n...

Re: ROMAN POITE - GREAT SCRUMMAGE EXPERT OR NUMPTY ?

But John -e where the Irish forcing them up that is the question MY view of it was that the Irish were actually second best in the srcum and going back with both number 8 and scrum half under pressure at the base .

Re: Ireland U20 JWC Squad

The difference between SA and Ireland was that inside 22 SA could power up and finish an opportunity Ireland tried to shimmy their way across the line that said the two players who made the difference for SA were Ventner and their No8 Botha Ireland just didn't have anyone with their drive or power. ...

Re: Ireland U20 JWC Squad

N'oC problem is he is a two trick pony --kick long or pass it. At any level in the professional game you play to plan A until told otherwise the only time an outhalf should play what is in front of him is when he is in trouble. Sexton will play what is called by his centres or what he has already to...
