Kidney is a clown.

Picks the out-of-form, injured and past-it ROG, doesn't pick Jackson.
Picks 2 scrum halves only. Neither of which is the form scrum half in Ireland.
Doesn't pick a full-back.

From an Ulster perspective, could have been worse.

No Paul Marshall or Gilroy. Not surprised re Gilroy tbh, but what does Smallp got to do?.... shocker. But not unhappy tbh.. the less we lose the better imo. Ulster benchwarmers..

I make it 10 Ulster, 10 Leinster, 9 Munster, 2 Connacht?

Wonder TOL didnt reappear... No Deccie Fitz either? And Paddy Mac must be gutted, since Kilcoyne made it. I thought the Connacht Loosie Buckley would've been given a shout tbh.. looks better than "Killer".. just noticed, where's the other tighthead backup to Ross? Not TC again :shock: :banghead: >minigun >flog

Actually seems to be a fair bit of surprise from our friends in other provinces that Marshall, P. isn't included.

1 forward and 1 back to be added after this weeks matches, Deccy Fitz probably if he is fit

Sh*t missed that PJ wasn't picked... couldn't be doing that, could Kidders.. couldnt have a majority of Ulstersmen now biys...
Poor.. form means little I see.. Perfect opportunity for some of the Connacht and Ulster boys to be tried... DOC and ROG again FFS?! >flog
Gutted for Smallp tbh. :(

I'm amazed. I thought even the buffoon that is Kidney >crazy1 would have been unable to avoid picking wee Paul. Bring on the new coach.

We are looking very light at centre...

Truth is he doesn't have a full back to pick

Which makes a possible back line of

Earls Bowe BoD D'Arcy Trimble Sexton Redden

Given DK Zebo or Mc Fadden will be more likely than Trimble


RoG was always going to get the call before Jackson Madigan and Keatley would get the call before Jackson

And to honest Jackson is better not being picked at the moment because he would not be considered for a match day 22/23

When I saw Marshall my first take was beagle but it's not it's Luke which is a surprise

Of the over 33s only PW in the back line has gone D'arcy ,BoD and RoG will be collecting their pensions sooner than being dropped but the latter two have hopes ? of being picked for the Lions tour

But D/L will be in his element with that squad

Hmm. Could that be because PW is the only one of those three who has probably never appeared on his own, in a free poster in a newspaper... If you see what I mean?

I know it's kinda an unpopular view, but I'm convinced Ireland squads are picked with an eye to "celebrity value" and that the buck doesn't stop with the head coach.

Yes he does.

IF you mean DuffY that would be further waste of hotel space.

No. I don't mean Gavin Duffy.

Although, in saying that, it'd be better having him in there than having removing a wing and playing them out of position.

Why would Paddy Mac be gutted? He's out for the season ...
