Delighted for John Cooney. Well deserved.

[Dave]

He will have earned his 45 seconds at the end.

Joe's big mistake last ime out was Conway on the bench. This forced Earls into outside centre and Earls lacks the ability to time a rush defence without creating holes in the defence, thus Ireland had to adopt a drift defence which failed to protect the gain line. Lamour is better option for the bench because unlike Conway he could if necessary fit into the centre --Addison would have been better still except unfortunately he's injured.

I wonder if Carberry is injured or does Joe recognise the French would try to eat him if he came near the gain line.

It looks like Cooney may have a plane ticket but lack a seat on the plane if the srcum half options are restricted to two.

I think Coney will go. He can play out half as well as scrum half and is a good kicker.I also think Addison will go(if fit) because of his ability to play right across the back line.

I hate RWC years. It just means the league gets even more f*cked over than usual.

Totally agree big M. I'm more interested in Ulster rugby than the World cup strange as that may seem to some.

What's the point in Finn Russell?

To be fair to him, he gave us a a quare laugh

Well England’s plan B looked good against the Italians .

Plan B — two thick thighed Hard to tackle centres to suck the defence into the middle then toss the ball wide to a fast wing or one who is equally hard to tackle .

Against weak opposition it worked well .

I think we will be reasonably ok. NIQs on board at that stage plus I'm not sure Cooney will be in the RWC squad. We'll see.

As Dave the Knave would say "its match day -- and my bowels are in turmoil "

Thanks to last nights curry

BOD...Lineout dysfunction v Italy all down to Toner's absence.

BOD when lineout is dysfunctional and Best is hooker...?
