Wouldn't read too much into that Ireland team until it is released.... the same websites posting this team were also posting a completely different "rumored" team for the match against France than the one that actually played.

I think they just make it up as they go along for clickbait headlines and page views.

Best, Ross, Stander, VDF, Henshaw, McCloskey & Trimble all prods???

Is there some Orange/Masonic/WASP conspiracy afoot in Irish rugby?

Can I just add that personally I dont give two hoots what religion, sex, colour or culture anyone is.

:stir:


Feck it will be like the 1798 rebellion all over again. At least if we lose this one it shouldn't end with a new Rugby Act of Union. :D

I for one hope it does Shan... Act One in the Rugby Act Of Union 2016 - National head coach must pick players on form from all 4 provinces and not those he/she already knows.

It should. Hard if not impossible to police though.
You might debate that at a stretch I suppose, but it's impractical bullshite and will never happen , just Gatland bored and running is mouth.
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.

I hope that irrespective of who else is picked, that Henshaw is picked at 13 & is truly magnificent.

This is the vital first step of removing the 12 Henshaw 13 Payne 15 Bob catastrophe.

Just a heads up - if you prefer watching the RTE coverage v BBC/ITV - only the Wales France game this weekend will be available via Sky/Virgin platforms. If you get RTE through freeview, you will be able to watch all 3 games.

Making your Ireland debut in Twickenham. Some step up for the lad, I'm confident he can show what he is capable of.
