This is all so predictable. One front line TH with another out with LT injury- and no significant back up. We didn't learn last year when JTA got us out of jail constantly.
I wonder will IRFU allow us a short term cover signing? Doubt it... Can Wavey Davey help? :flower:
Buckley one of the best THs around, criminally ignored but destroyed our front row last year in the QF and will be loving it. Unbeaten record to end....
Small correction CIMANFOREVER.. Buckley is loose head but that means of course he will be directly facing McGrath or French. It looks like a game to watch from behind the sofa.
I've done the maths. I am installing a mini-fridge behind my sofa. It will have payed for itself by April.
I'd install a trap- it's gonna be brutal circa Tom Court at Twickers and cards/ PTs.

Wouldn’t Warwick be a better bet at tighthead (Until Moore/TOT comes back)?

We may have a chance in the scrums with him at 3, with the other guys, we’ve no chance and it’ll be a big boost to Connacht.

Which means Reid at LH- Damned if we do....although doubt Bealhams back, but Aungiers been going well and Robertson McCoy much superior to our current THs.

I'm happy to be surprised. Reid's good in the loose but is not an aggressive front foot scrummager. I always get the impression he's just about hanging on. I also think he's poorly conditioned for a modern prop

Wannabe or actually played to a reasonable level? Ill leave the easy show pony stuff to others.
Props, especially TH props win or lose games. Ask England.... oh and us at last 16 and QFs.
Or would you prefer RL?

I can't believe they're not better . . .
I'm not arguing -
I'm just explaining why I'm right

White flag raised. Whilst EOS is a welcome return, French and McGrath jeezus!

Sexton on the wing? Although centre pairing is tasty. Shanners starting?

Good to see Crothers and Hopes included but Connacht is a baptism. No LBP I fear.
