Olding is a very different kind of centre to McCloskey and I'm quite sure Les will rotate them on a horses for courses basis. Having genuine sid in the backline is a massive bonus going into the tail end of season. keeping them all healthy will also be made easier with options to choose from. The possibility of getting Hendy and Tuohy back will also bolster the final charge.

Bless their little cotton socks. I had the temerity to chastise one committee member recently who was being a bit of a clampit. They are not all ejits, just some of them.

A top two finish followed by a home semi means that we should be booking a weekend in Edinburgh at end of May. Will probably continue to get more expensive since Edinburgh marathon etc is on.

I got 29 points min but being conservative away from home. Bit concerned with the injuries up front and lack of genuine quality in there. That said we can probably get parity with most teams and our backs are looking bloody good.

Game in hand over teams above us with the exception of Leinster who we have at home, we should be looking at a home semi final....
Are you actually shocked we're doing so well or just a turn of phrase?

I don't like predicting, especially when we still have 10 games to play. Far too much can go our way or go against us in 10 games. Let's just focus on one game at a time and see how many points we can amass between now and May.
You haven't seen me at my best yet. Let's be honest, you probably never will.

Ruckie, this is no place for pragmatic thinking. Wild, bullish statements and outrageous predictions are the order of the day. >crazy1 :bounce: >clapping

We know it's daft as anything can and probably will change, but sure talk is cheap.
