Where to start.....start at the end and work back
1 - Agree with mum, a WIN never mind bonus point is essential
2 - Would agree here
3 - So instead we are going to bring on someone who must be one of the biggest "giving away penalty" machines in the side at the moment (cables will probably be able to slap me or not on that one).
4 - Youre having a larrff, what is he doing here when there is a full back on the bench! play him in the postion he has been prolific in all season. If Jamie needs a rest make the changes when we are 20 points clear not when we need 20 to draw!
5 - What a load of tosh, just because he is leaving your going to make him sit on the bench, give him game time in the A's if thats what he needs and lets start with the strongest team we can possibly field, not with wee boys who need game time.
Please URFC prove me wrong
, but I just dont get it..
1 - Agree, need a win, but by the same token, if we miss out on another losing bonus point through another "Rory Best V Tommy Bowe footrace" moment, It'd be absolutely demoralising for the guys.
2 - Definitely.
3 - Cardwell had a great game against the Blues, which he complemented by remaining on the pitch until he was substituted. No reason why he won't do the same this week.
4 - Tend to agree here a bit. Danielli wasn't awful at fullback, but it does make you wonder why he's there is JS is fit. However, it is great to see Spence getting a start. He's a guy we need to hold onto. If he can avoid injury over the next few years, he will undoubtedly develop into a super player.
5 - If Marshall can hold his own for 60 minutes, IB coming off the bench against a tired defence in the last 20 could be that little bit extra we need to win this game. We'll have to wait and see.
Overall, I''m happy with the team selection. Courts getting a start (albeit only to give BJ a rest) which I like. Unsure about Declan... hopefully BJ can come on for him, rather than Court. Cardwell... we'll see. Hope he continues his cardless run. Back row looked superb on Tuesday night (especially Robbie) so glad it's unchanged. Good to see IH back on, NOC's inability to think was starting to get to me. Look forward to seeing Spence in space (and scoring plenty of tries
). Hoping that Cave and Trimble carry on their form, and that Danielli has been practising positioning for that little dink over the top that worked painfully well on two occasions for the Hook. Bench looks good. BJ and Isaac could do wonders coming off the bench against a tired front-row/defence and Jamie (if fit) will hopefully get a chance to
try the same.
Big pack, attacking backs. Here's hoping we choose to counter-attack and show what we can do. It worked against the Os, yet we stopped doing it.
Here's to a bonus point win
