You gotta admit though that it would have been less :scratch: if they'd posted it (on here) before the squad was announced/leaked ..... or at least made it clear that it had been posted elsewhere before that rather than just making it look like someone had predicted (incorrectly) after the event.

just saying, like! :thumleft:

Sharpen up BR, I would have thunk that the tone of my post hinted that the entire kit & caboodle was an irrelevance. :roll: However rather than savage the dear lady, I thought a tangent most appropriate. :D
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.

Why is it deemed necessary to be excessively rude to a new poster?

Really, who did that?

Are you sure Ms Miller isn't yet another new name for a certain poster?

The thread appears entirely bogus to an experienced hand, why on earth would you open a speculation thread on the 31 panel when the real thing was in clear public view?

Sure you're not sleeping in on this one Sniper?

There are one or seven people with multiple usernames - I was once amongst these charlatans myself though no longer.

Indeed there are. As you know, I also dipped my toe into those murky waters, but promptly withdrew them.

Perhaps to compare and contrast the opinions of a 'reputable'* rugby publication to those of Joe Schmidt and indeed everyone else who had given an opinion of the selection.

* opinions vary.
