Ireland really aren't great playing tight like that, missing carriers in the pack doesn't help.

Wouldn't wish covid on any team but why did it have to be the exciting one? Throwing all my hope for this weekend in the Burns to somehow lead Ireland to victory over England basket but in my heart I know we'll get stuffed. E: lol and the teams named and Burns is on the bench. Ireland (v England): 15. Hugo Keenan 14. Keith Earls 13. Chris Farrell 12. Bundee Aki 11. James Lowe 10. Ross Byrne 9. Jamison Gibson-Park 1. Cian Healy 2. Ronan Kelleher 3. Andrew Porter 4. Quinn Roux 5. James Ryan (captain) 6. CJ Stander 7. Peter O’Mahony 8. Caelan Doris Replacements: 16. Rob Herring 17. Ed Byrne 18. Finlay Bealham 19. Iain Henderson 20. Will Connors 21. Conor Murray 22. Billy Burns 23. Jacob Stockdale MyChemicalImbalance fucked around with this message at 15:23 on Nov 18, 2020 |

Vaders Jester posted:Is there some sort of system in the IRFU where Ulster are never allowed to start? I've seen some salty takes on this, just hoping the guys on the bench do a job when they get the chance. Can't excuse Stockdale's form recently but it's a bit jarring hearing that Gibson Park is being picked on form after Cooney put together two 5* seasons in the same position and got like 3 sub appearances to show for it. I'm not really sure how to feel about this comp though, I'd rather see some experimentation than trot out the same old players to try to win it.

Aww no  Dominici was absolutely carving up the 6N when I first got into rugby, he really epitomised that French magic and I'll always remember him turning people inside out in the pink of Stade Francais. That's a real downer.

Jaco van der Walt has some boot on him. Ireland still look shaky but at least Scotland seem up for it.

England looking like Schmidt Ireland, once plan A doesn't work they're lost. France have played very well though, their defence has been outstanding and they're not afraid to run the ball.

That's Exeter's defence of the title cut short then eh? It's a strange new format but hard to see them scraping in if they give Toulouse the 28-0

It overtook the Mauro Bergamasco at 9 match as the most entertaining Italy game, particularly enjoyed the referee just stonewalling the England players when they tried asking him what a ruck was.

goatface posted:So it's the pro14 with two groups of 8? Yeah, I spent a while earlier wondering how they added 4 new teams but still split into two groups of 8 Cheetahs and Kings were binned Look forward to the conferences being announced though, hopefully we get some tasty matchups to go alongside the likes of Lions vs Zebre, which will go about as well on the pitch as it would on the savanna.

Marcel Coetzee will be signing with the Bulls at the end of the 20/21 season probably the first end to the season, so before the Rainbow Cup.. I think? Pro14 defences can rest easy, was great watching him in White, but I can't blame him if he goes home and makes the Boks team for the Lions tour.

Great win for Bristol, was close to a full strength team for Exeter too. Ulster caught their first loss of the season against Leinster yesterday, and with no semi finals this year that could be their season over. Pro14 is such an odd league, hopefully the Rainbow Cup is a bit of craic, but who would bet on it going ahead now with the covid situation in SA and across the UK and Ireland.

Redpath doesn't look out of place at all at Test level, hopefully he avoids whatever curse is on promising scottish centres

The only way this will be a plus for scotland is if they get a penalty try and another yellow, majority of Billy's time off has been taken up by scrums ffs

Yeah a 5 point lead at the half is really disappointing for how dominant scotland have been, another score before the half could flip this game right and quick.

Hard game to judge the england back line - haven't noticed Lawrence much - could see Ford on soon enough though.

Have heard too many reasons why Ireland should walk this, but it's still away to Wales and we still have a tendency to play second rate Schmidt-ball. Think it'll be tight!

Ealing is everyone's second team this year surely? I'm excited to see so many changes for Ireland  I'm not sure how you plan to beat Dupont and the rest of them but if some of those fringe players make the leap this will be a success for Ireland.

Very scrappy towards the end, Dupont did really well there but it's disappointing seeing Gibson Park perform like this and there isn't even a threat of Casey coming on.
