I'm intrigued Snipe, forget the p bit, but on what assumption do you think that is going to happen? Genuinely baffled.

Furthermore, we don't need a 10, we need a very good 10. Whatever faults he had, Paddy was developing into a very very good 10, furthermore, he had plenty of pace himself, both physically & mentally.

My best current guess is that we may start against the Cheetahs with p at 9 & Cooney at 10. I await the selection on Friday for confirmation. Not quite what Cooney signed up for I think we can all agree but when I saw him at 10 for Connacht he looked better than anything else we've got.

Gazing east towards Oz I see nothing of import, maybe others have, so as my ould mate Romeo often pondered, what light thu' thonder windie breaks?
NEVER MOVE ON. Years on, I cannot ever watch Ireland with anything but indifference, I continue to wish for the imminent death of Donal Spring, the FIRFUC's executioner of Wee Paddy & Wee Stu, and I hate the FIRFUCs with undiminished passion.

But ... but ... but ... It WAS a friendly ... and you can quote me on that ... or maybe I will ... friendlies are so utterly pointless they are basically a road block in early season world domination ...

On the basis that I think Cooney is a quicker player than Ruan who, in my opinion, recently has made up for declining pace with guile and experience.
Paddy is a massive loss as he is coming into his pomp and we would have been much more able to cope with the loss of Ruan's vision if he was available.
Yes the implication was that we need a quality 10. We already have several 10s, none of whom are nearly good enough.
I think p and Cooney is nearly a cert at this stage.
