Having only seen highlights of each match, but reading things that people post on Facebook, what makes POM a loser from the tour?

A world cup squad is limited to 31 players -- the tour party in New Zealand consisted of 41 and there were a number of player left behind due to injure a number of players added to the squad due to injury.

Somebodies have got to get the P45s

PoM Had a very quite season with Munster but lifts his game against a very poorly organised and basically poor AB side by the world Cup he will be a year older and Prendergast played well for the "A' and is 10 years younger -- If Henderson plays second row Beirne then moves to 6 .

My problem with the series win is I have a question which goes is that a very good Irish 15 or a poor AB side ?

Then you have the bench players against the ABs whose tour consisted of 10 - 30 mins a player like Murray -- an out of favour known quantity same goes for Carberry then Earls an known quantity but think of the wings not included due to injury .

Thus i am of the opinion some where picked to see what they could do and if they could lift their game when playing for the 'A" side and there were some included in the Match day 23 because they were an known quantity and safe hands but recognised as possibly yesterday men rather than players for to-morrow . But to-morrows men were an untested quantity


While Ireland are ranked Number 1 the fact rests and hangs by a thin thread where injury to key players could change everything

Sexton --VdF --- Furlong being the major worries.

I'll hold my hands up, it is by chance that trowl has qualified for troll. I had intended to write troll.
Does that qualify as a Freudian slip, I don't believe it does. If it doesn't what would it be classified as.

Answers on a postcard please.

What is the term called when you accidentally mispell a word and the word that you have created has the same meaning?
A term may not exist. If it does not I declare full naming rightsm open to suggest what it could be called.

Anyone any idea as to what rightsm means. The younguns probably don't get the "Answers on a postcard please" but the same applies here. :D

Was he not named player of the tour? Pretty sure his ticket is booked. I've been his biggest critic but he was brilliant on that tour. My man of the series was VDF but I'd not argue with anyone saying POM was the best.
