ireland in the rwc

what a great chance me have now. Some great players wont be around in 4years and we have other great players who are flying. If new zealand make the final on the other side they dont have carter or mccaw so we could push them all the way

We owe the Welsh one after the defeat earlier in the year, as well as the fact that the first time we played them in the RWC was in Wellington in 1987 when they beat us 13-6.


It is always good for a Kidney led team to have some grist for the mill to get the heckles raised.


I would also like to thank Eddie O'Sullivan for making the team so hungry following his years of under-achievement.

I apologise in advance, but I'm after booking the Monday after the rwc final off of work.  >

It will be a real battle against the Welsh, their fitness levels are great and they are playing with confidence, and as they say the Welsh way. I expect no quarter asked and none given.

I dont think New Zealand will make it!

Aaaaagh, it one thing to do it, but no need to put the kaibosh on the team by announcing it.... >

Definately NO announcing that your taking the MOnday after HEC final off OK...!!

mike sherry travell to new zealand for cover. Surely flavin is ahead off sherry. If they went through ten off them would they pick a connacht player

Sherry is the next big thing, apparently. Not surprised he's the choice. He's probably better than Varley TBH.

Having seen a good bit of sherry, flavin and varley, sherry is the stand out player of the three. He's put in some quality performances for munster last season and so far this season. IMHO he's definitely going to be munster hooker long term and probably Irish hooker as well

Let them not be taking any of our players away we need all our good players here....Is Vainikolo(Tongan, spelt wrong i know) back yet?

I doubt he would be yet. He was with the Tongan team on Sunday at the French match.

well thats that. Poor way off going out. Good few weeks tho. What has happened to jamie heaslip. He is useless. I think two years ago that he overdone it. George any day for me

All the Leinster, Munster and Ulster players will be on the way back now....Not good for Connacht the longer they stayed out there the better!
