Who? Diack or Doak?
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!

:stir:
Schmidt is not going to learn much about the oul fella that he does not already know. I reckon he's there to keep an eye on the massive Burgess. D'Arcy has slowed up but he's still a crafty wee sod in defence and maybe a better bet in that department than Reid. Burgess won't know what hit him!

Haha, D'Arcy and Earls. They don't have a pass between them. I assume this means Cave and Henshaw will be starting v Italy?

No no

Earls and Dorce will play a blinder

500 attempted line breaks each

Thus the meedya will call for their inclusion. Due to extreme work rate

Therefore the best centres in Ireland hold tackle bags

don't think you can automatically assume anything Jackie. He may just be giving Darcy 50 mins to get him ready for the big one next week. :lol:

After that game I sincerely hope not. The centres showed nothing. Also that was our first props against England's third string - bit concerning. Back five did well especially Ryan and Henderson.

I thought Robbie D was excellent when he came on.

I thought of the back 5 only Hendy and SOB showed up. They made Diack look good.

Can't pass won't pass in the centres was always going to handicap us, also Henderson is wasted at 4/5 should be playing 6 and a great tackle by McCartney's face resulted in him going off and Henderson having to play the whole game.

Thought Hendo wAs puffing a bit and understandable but in truth a 6 and we need to grow a set of balls and force that issue because he is what we need there and if he plays well enough at 6 for us then Ireland will have to play him...
