I'm intrigued Snipe, forget the p bit, but on what assumption do you think that is going to happen? Genuinely baffled.Snipe Watson wrote:I believe Cooney will be successful and he'll inject more pace than p or Ruan. Obviously he's not going to have Ruan's all round skill and vision, but on the assumption that we acquire a 10 before the season starts, I agree with Vanhelsing.
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 ...
Always ask yourself, "What would Big Rodney do"... And every time the answer is... "Eat It"

Is Cooney available week 1?

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

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.
