Re: IRFU Committee.
You can doubt it if you like, but this is not speculation Rum. The coach was required to present his team to the IRFU Performance Committee before it was announced to the public. This may have ended with Joe Schmidt, but it was a fact of life under all previous coaches.rumncoke wrote:I doubt it very much in my opinion the committee review results and obtain reasons for selections and how the players selected were intended to play within a defined game plan.

Russell Brand has suggested we get in a couple of traffic cones to use as fleg-holders just for the occasion.

Re: IRFU Committee.
Captain, now , the only flags to be flown as is the protocol when playing out side the free state will be the Australian Flag (away team) and the IRFU flag that represents the harmonious entity that is the IRFU, tonight you have been a tad thran, is there something you want talk about with the group.Cap'n Grumpy wrote:Will the Australian and Union flegs be flown at ravers for the match?Kofi Annan wrote:Jack this will make you happy and a wee tad excited , I telephoned up yon committee and demanded that Ulster gets a game, so for you, the Ireland U19s will play Australia schools at Ravenhll on 14th December 2013 no thanks required.jackthelad wrote:I've no idea if they are good or bad aparrt from the ticketing shambles, the use of p.a. music and of course the fiasco over NIE and NIQ players.

It's not like we ever debate flegs n anfums in this wee place.
Maybe with the government stumping up the dosh for the new ravers, we can call it a Government building ...... then all we need to do is get them to play a match on a designated day and we open up another debate ......... or protest

You see Rum,if I may ask a childish question to a Guru like yourself if even one player is committee protected that would surely mean that the IRFU has a certain control over selection.The other childish question that I would like to ask is in the last 10-12 years how many other players have had this sort of protection?I also think that it might be of interest for your good self to declare an interest just so we can be on the same level playing field.My good self of being of no importance was very much made aware that EOS and DK had to explain their selections to a committee.Players on a central contract had to be selected, developing players had to wait on an injury.Wigglesworth is funnily enough quoted on this forum basically saying the same thing,he does think it is a good thing having a bottleneck in positions but does'nt really commit himself in saying what the solution is other than a hint re 47/48 players playing overseas.So who decides who stays and who moves Provinces,and who decides who moves abroad.Somehow I do not think that this is down to the Irish coach.

Or maybe your good self could post in the two threads in the "Back room lock In" regarding the NHS,although I see you have backed away from that.
