Nice to see Boss and Ferris in there. Both deserve it after the Bath match.

Yes. Six Ulstermen,five Munstermen, and four from Leinster. Danielli a little bit unlucky not to be included.(If only he had given that pass to Smith he would have been a shoe-in)

One thing i noticed during the Bath game was how fast our frontrow, Court and Brady are as fast as most backrow forwards, thought Brady was everywere

You could argue that by subbing Court or Hayes for BJ, Tommy for Dougie, Kearney for Warwick you end up with the Ireland team for Italy.


Good to see the Ireland players hitting their straps at 6N time

So a couple arent in the squad and a couple more arent gonna actually get picked in a month of Sundays, but they're IQ and in a weekend when Europes best have all been in action, they've come out on top. Read my post on the thread about the team for Italy for my actual prediction

if you want to post conflicting things in different threads, that's up to you. just don't expect me to idly sit by, and fail to be a kn0b when the situation clearly presents itself!

Danielli doesn't deserve to be there

To many only see Danielli ball in hand ( and to be honest few better ) but that's only half the game

Four trys were scored against Ulster on Daniellis side of the pitch in ERC games ( Stade at Ravenhill-- Edinburgh away and at Ravenhill and Bath away)

It's true that for someone of Danielli's physique his tackling/defence is pathetic but the team was selected on last weeks performance not the season and Howlett hasn't been 'breaking any delph' recently.
