With Farrell Snr's track record, that could well be possible.

Baggy I was not regretting the departures but rather trying to focus on Ulster Rugby and an apparent inability to progress players coupled with your favourite IRFU's absolute refusal to pick anyone from Ulster unless they are exceptional.
For one moment is there anyone who would have considered Farrell and Sammy as contenders for International duty while they were still at Ulster. Certainly their past performances at Ulster didn't warrant anything special but the red of Munster and blue of Lienster appears to help them succeed as players of stature and potential. Ulsters fault, other provinces/teams coaching or IRFU bias?
Maybe of course the exceptional Auzzie has decided Ulster needs space thus the decision to leave Cooney alone !!!!!!!!!

Rocky _correct they never played for Lienster.Got a bit carried away probably because blue is the colour of great favour. However having watched the decision making at Ravenhill tonight my rant appears misplaced!!!!!!!!

Wales always do well over here.
Theres a lot worse Welsh sides that have come here and won.
I've seen enough evidence to assume that we are in for a proper match.

Aye, but they usually brought Wayne Barnes with them!

These are strange times Skiboo. Time was a lump like Farrell who has a mountain of strength but nothing that CMH Gibson would regard as the skills of a centre. I wouldn't cap Sammy Arnold between now and when hell freezes over, he's really not that good.

Of course, my hatred for Schmidt, Nucibastard and the FIRFUCs knows no bounds, I concede there is a slim possibility that both are world beaters and I simply cannot or will not acknowledge their brilliance. However, for now, I'm going to proceed on the basis that I'm an objective fine judge of a player and the two guys are modest at best. >EW
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.

Arnold has shown nothing so far to suggest he should be considered for Ireland. Farrell did enough to lay some kind of claim in the absence of the frontliners.

I reckon if we could get Luke Marshall down to Limerick we'd make an international of him. We'd certainly be ensuring he performs every match in line with his ability.
It is a man's own mind, not his enemy or foe, that lures him to evil ways.

The french really are mad-bar steward. Teddy Thomas dropped. He wasn't even one of the guys questioned by the cops.

Maybe they have been listening to Neil Francis and don't like his hair. Oh and Franno doesn't like Teddy's name either.

Think ‘Ding Dong’ Thomas was part of the larger group who broke the curfew.

Fergus not in the D4 23. Ringrose and Larmour included.
