Team for Romania
I would like to see something like this, give or take a few slots, though Joe's choice could be completely different. For some squad members this could be their one and only RWC run :
Zebo
Bowe Cave Earls Fitz (the last two possibly interchangeable)
Jackson Reddan
Healy Strauss White
Toner Ryan
POM Murphy Henry
Bench : McGrath Cronin Furlong Henderson SOB Murray Quiffy Henshaw (or if he's not fit, Dave).

Looks about right.

Re: Team for Romania
I think we'll not see Murray on the bench
Quiffy to cover 9 10 and 12 on the bench alrhough not sure what backs are left if he doesn't want Payne and the Kearneys there

Re: Team for Romania
Have they not already said that Henshaw is fit and going to play (that could easily be smoke and mirrors)?. Also, Kiss has said that they want to give all 31 players game time in the group stages, which makes it likely that the eight who weren't involved on Saturday will be involved next Sunday.
I suspect Joe may want to give Madigan more pitch time and Paddy J will be on the bench.My guess is Zebo, Bowe, Cave, Henshaw, Fitzgerald, Madigan, Reddan
Healy, Strauss, White, Toner, Ryan, Murphy, Henry, Heaslip.
Cronin, McGrath, Furlong, Henderson, POC, Murray, Jackson, Kearney R.
Something like that, not much different from Spiffy's, TBH.

Re: Team for Romania
He needs to give wee mads time at 9
Re: Team for Romania
If Quiffy plays 9 I will record this match and watch it back over and over purely for the entertainment value
You haven't seen me at my best yet. Let's be honest, you probably never will.
Re: Team for Romania
He should play Lukewarm at 9. We need to see more evidence of versatility and we can't have a team without Lukewarm in it.

Re: Team for Romania
Romania offer so little threat that I'd be all for playing Zooplankton at 9, Quiff on the bench and Ginger Prince started 10, Cave at hooker obviously between Tommy Bowe and Zebrother. Toner and Reddan look well matched behind and Hendo needs to play 6 just so Fibber can be certain of his versatility, he will also need to cover full back in case Mike Ross is exposed for pace. Rory Best and Sean Cronin are obvious choices on the wing to cover and unexpected outbreak of ebola to which wingers and their lack of additional body fat are especially prone.
The centres are an obvious and typical versatile and bold Fibber type selection, Ryan and He a slip who will be expected to make shyte out of the Romanian midfield.
The bench is Quiff, Quiff, Quiff, Quiff, Quiff, Quiff and Payne who is very versatile.
Anything less than 75 point will be seen as failure and a sign that Ireland just haven't been versatile enough, Quiff and Zookeeper will then tackle Italy on their own, Zooplankton will play up front in the first half and Quiff in the second, we must be sure that both players are sufficiently versatile to beat France with their legs spancilled and one arm tied behind their backs.

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.

With workmanlike we'll be told he does all the unseen work
Re: Team for Romania
The all-singing, all-dancing dashing persona of Luke-ma that the Mexican media has created will ensure that the one thing he will never be called is workmanlike. It's just not glamourous enough to fit the image. You're more likely to see Mike Ross described as twinkle toed.BR wrote:Does workmanlike come before or after passionate?Russ wrote:When people work out he's not creative I bet they call him passionatethecrouch wrote:If plan A doesn't work for them they shift to plan B.Russ wrote:I see since selection the meedya have stopped calling him versatile and have started calling him creative

POC said the backs are going shopping
He failed to mention fitzwank specifically by name
Fitzwank hasn't stopped crying
