Deccy had to start Paddy as his Mrs has threatened Deccy after he wrecked their holidays :lol:

Hopefully CH may get a little game time and get rid of the splinters.

Think the ABs are without Carter.

Wonder what Darren thinks of the coffee shops,

Strange to parachute Paddy straight in when he wasn't good enough to travel

Strange to drop Trimble

Good to see the future of Irish rugby is being nurtured well with DC getting 2mins off the bench

Strange that McFadden is STILL there even though he's tom kite.

Wouldn't pin my hopes on Smith being a liability at 9 Fuzzy. He looks like the real deal to me.

He should have had his surgery before he went. Could have held the tackle bag with his good hand. :roll: :roll:

Yes
Hansen felt comfortable with Read's replacement on the back of the scrum, despite McCaw's relative inexperience in that position in the test arena.

"Richie's comfortable at [No] 8. He knows all the calls, he's been with us the last month - it just makes sense," he said. "It's just a means to an end. I've said before and I'll keep saying it, I think he's the best No 7 in the world, regardless of what other people are saying.

Big ask for Paddy, hope he goes well.

Shame for the likes of Cave and Marshall, shows why there should be a midweek game on tour.

Agreed but they get a free sojourn in NZ and to show their faces. Wouldn't be too sorry for them!
From the rolling glens of Antrim through the hills of Donegal we will stand and shout for Ulster as we win both scrum and maul from the lovely lakes of Fermanagh tae the shores of ould Lough Gall we will scream and shout for Ulster as we beat them one and all!
