He's asking a question. How is asking a question hyperbole?

He suggested Malins was selected for a try he scored 8 months ago. Hyperbole.

Malins is an excellent player and he's proven it in the Premiership. France was his first start for England. Of course he might look shaky.

I'm more worried with him at 15 than Daly.

Billy burns out. Ross Byrne in. Could be another long day for Ross against England.

Only if he continues to pass while standing still. It's a strange one, he doesn't do it when playing for Leinster. But when he puts on a green jersey, he just doesn't fix defenders at all.

He has all the skills and the temperament to be a top 10, but it's a glaring issue in his game.

You said he plays Worcester Warriors every week, which he does not.

Then it was pointed out he obviously doesn't and even had a big impact in a European game.

Then you claimed someone said he's in the team because he scored a try 8 months ago, which no one did.

I mean if you can't see it, I'd be very concerned for you.

Isn’t that the same thing said when ever any of our young players impress though?

In ONE match and it wasn’t even a high level, it was the challenge cup I.e not the Champions Cup.

That’s essentially what he said, apparently all an Opposition young players on here needs is to impress in one match in his career to prove his credentials.

Most of the Irish players do things they would never do for their province...

I don't know what you're basing that on. Nobody has ever called for a player to be capped because they had 1 good game for their province. Can you give an example of a player who had 1 good game and had calls to player for Ireland?

Malins has been consistently very good for Saracens and Bristol over the last few years.

And I'd say a Challenge Cup final is probably on par with a Championship Cup group game in terms of level.

So Malins is out...

Yup. We'd be far better off with Daly at 15 on current form and someone like Lawrence in the centre.

If this doesn't get proven right now, this man should be banned

Eddie Jones pulling the old O'Mahony for Heaslip "injury" trick from 2017

I think this move improves the England backline tbh.

Daly has had an awful tournament at fullback.

Hope I’m wrong but have a feeling it’s going to be a long day in the office for ireland today

Some trick!! Heaslip never played again as far as I recall.

Yeah was the one that ended him.

I assume the post was ironic, in reference to Kimmage making a twat of himself over it

Ah well.

James Ryan never played a game for his province before playing for Ireland, so how could there have been calls for him to be included based on a game for his province?

pickarooney

Well, it's finally happened. Chatting with teammates (mostly French plus a few Aussies and Kiwis) earlier and while hardly any of them can bring themselves to even watch the match more of them want England to win than Ireland.

Cave saying what the rest of us were saying every time we played England.
Huge space behind a rush defence and we never kick in to that open grass.
Shovelling the ball into midfield and getting creamed for 80 minutes is a joke.
Some much green to be exploited by little dinks and grubbers. Start making them turn and put some hesitation into their decision making.

To be honest, I'm almost at that stage myself.

Almost but not quite. The prospect of watching England pummel Ireland again doesn't fill me with joy though.

Here's hoping it doesn't happen.

Didn’t see much vim in that Irish team running out.

They look a beaten already.

It’s going to be a long afternoon but I hope they put in a
performance for CJ.
