Right so, much stronger than I imagined.

If they don't play Manu we'll turn them over.

Great to see Luke Marshall at 13!

[tigerburnie]

Manu and Tait have had surgery, so doubtful they will figure

[damianmcr]

Do we think this is the start of moving Marshall to 13?

[Russ]

Manu and Tait have had surgery, so doubtful they will figure

Is Tait thon boy an useless welshman picked up once?

[tigerburnie]

Aye, he's a man now Russ and setting the prem on fire at full back, possible for England in the 6 nations.

Dropping Chris and playing 3 fullbacks?

[tigerburnie]

No team sheet, but some clues as to who might be playing.

That's the look of the sort of team we will be fielding in the new year around the 6 nations.
I expect them to give a good account of themselves.

[Russ]

We wont have the following during the 6Nations

Trimble
Court
Tuohy
Henry
Fitzpatrick
Jackson

That's a 5th of the squad.

I think that's a bit optimistic or pessimistic.depending on which way you look at it Russ.
Strange that you never mentioned Luke M. though who I would have considered the most likely call up.

Kilcoyne and Healy ahead of Court at the minute in the managements eyes.
Madigan and Sexton ahead of PJ.
Big Dan is too far down the pecking order and needs to get his form back from two seasons ago to have a chance.
Henry hopefully will get in but far from guaranteed
Trimble has not been looked at rightly or wrongly as McFadden now even is ahead of him.
Fitzy might get in as there is no one else but at 30 they will look to bring in a younger option to develop if they can.

Schmidt I am sure will go with Leinster on the 50/50 calls.
Good for us if he does though.

Of the list of not being available for the 6 Nations

Best
Touhy
Henry
Jackson
Marshall L
Olding
Gilroy
Bowe

I would expect us to have Court and Trimble

Much as I like and admire Trimble ball in hand I think there maybe too many alternatives for his selection

Earls Zebo Giroy Bowe McFadden even Fitzgerald might be in the frame before Trimble

Court maybe unlucky as the Coach maybe looking for new Props rather than old hands

Jackson could be available if he goes for Sexton and Madigan, as an out half I prefer Jackson but as a place kicker Madigan could get the vote.

There is also alot of competion in the back row and second row which means that Henry and Touhy are not a necessarily going to be unavailable.

Wish Allen was starting ahead of McIlwaine.
