Fitz the standout performer though

its a shame that coughlan will never get a cap, esp now that is heaslip is captain

Clareman

The England 12 is playing great for us isn't he

Fishooks13

That should have been a penalty from Ireland for a Sherry steal

Court on for Kilcoyne. Bizzare, as he was holding his own, problem seemed to be on Bent's side.

Still, we'll see soone enough if it'll make a difference.

40 minute trial for each to determine who will be on the bench next week.

Fireball07

Great defence.

ballygowan1

Good to see Lukey back. Has a terrible time with inhuries

P_1

Not liking the tactics, our defense is going to crack at some stage, big scrum needed here

McSharry's not doing his long-term Ireland prospects any harm.

Fishooks13

Bent getting hammered. Time for Fitz because I really don't want to see Bent next weekend

awec

Get bent off for goodness sake

DDC1990

Bent is hurting us unfortunatly, get Fitzpatrick on, and give him a go.

Clareman

Pinged for binding now.

Fireball07

Ah lads...time for Fitzpatrick.

Fireball07

Actually, how has Bent remained Leinster's 2nd choice TH?? Moore has never been pushed back like that.

Otacon

Nice hands from Sherry there.

Getting used to playing with Fitz when he joins Leinster.

Fireball07

Nice from Sherry, like his pass to Kilcoyne last week which set up a try.


Boss for Marshall. Marshall's done well.

thomond2006

Good 50 minutes from Marshall, should be in contention for a bench spot next week.

Clareman

How about "Irish Qualified Yank" or "Irish Qualified Israeli".
Marshall didn't do himself any harm at all today

ballygowan1

At least we can see Bent is absolute muck!

Is Cronin really ahead of Sherry?

Fishooks13

bad decision, clearly wasn't hands on the ground

corny

Hands me arse referee. That was a foot.

Yes. Because he's a slightly better player

True. But he is a mercenary, condottiere, gun for hire. Which leaves him more open to criticism than most.
I dont blame the guy for taking an opportunity made to him though. But still only 'Irish' due to the financial incentive.

I'm tempted to say "as an ex-pat" that you believe you either have to have muck under your nails or otherwise be in negative equity to be truly Irish.....but I won't. It'll only get me banned (again )

I'll say then that I don't agree with your pov & leave it at that. 'Nuff said :cool:.

Fireball07

Fitzpatrick, Madigan and maybe Keatley now, please.

That'd be ROG

When are Lenister going to sign Henshaw?

Really? I don't think he has better darts which is a hookers number one job not hanging out on the wing or looking for breaks

You mean Cronin who has been playing magnificently and may have been pushing Strauss for a place if Strauss was fit?

No idea.

Your agenda is as clear as glass by the way.

Why isn't madigan on yet?

He is a lot better player, Cronin is having the finest season of his career and is still miles ahead of Sherry.

If you think that's what Cronin does you're not worth discussing with

Very good question,

On at fb though??? FFS

Burgo

Madigan for Henshaw...

decisions

MadDog at fullback?

Otacon

Madigan at fullback. Disappointing.

He simply isn't. Sherry is developing into a very good player, not as good as Cronin yet but the gap is nowhere near as big as you're letting on

Tox56

Ugh if he's going to play fullback that's a bit of a waste

ongarite

Madigan to full back. Maddening stuff!

Madigan on as FB...ffs...

Fireball07

Madigan at full-back...Hmm.

Clegg

Madigan at fullback?

Kidney clearly doesn't see him as Ireland's replacement 10.

Henshaw had a good game.
