    To my mind Byrne, Hayes, Humphreys (who created 2 tries today, pity they were for Australia, imagine if he'd played the full game? They'd have set a record score), possibly Easterby should not be in the squad for the next world cup. Frankly I'd like to drop O'Gara too, it's unbelievable that in 8 yrs as a professional he hasn't leaned how to tackle or bulked up to enable him break more. The fact that he frequently goes to pieces and is poor behind a retreating scrum doesn't help much either. Somebody has to step up and grab Stringer's spot, all eyes on Reddan tomorrow?
    Who else?

    byrne, hayes, o gara, easterby, stringer, murphy (his passing was ridiculous today)

    You'd keep Humphreys? Am I being unfair to Wavy Davy?
    Mal was brought to hospital but word was they thought he'd be ok.

    something needs to change alright.
    there are too many ppl on that team living off the so called triple crown success. Mal O'Kelly, Munch, Hayes, Stringer, Humphries, O'Gara, D'Arcy (think the list goes on).
    I wouldn't ditch the lot although most have to go, i.e. Hayes, Munch, Humph, O'Kelly.
    It's time the young guys we're given a go. Frankie will be starting once fit, Bob Casey should be knocking on O'Callaghan and O'Connells door, yet Eddie decides the Munster 4th choice (hogan) is a better option (?!?!?! beyond me!).
    We have some good players there that need 2 be given a chance to change things:
    Everitt (consistant for London Irish, but dunno if international class, worth a go)
    Kearney (Leinster winger, looks to be top notch already)
    Duffy (should have left Harlequinns when relegated, probably wrecked his chance of international rugby this season)
    Lewis
    Campbell (about time he was given a chance, Stringer hasn't been up to scratch for some time)
    Wilson (knocking on the door alright)
    Flannery (backup to Frankie)
    Manning (prospect, not yet but worth bringing into training squads)

    The list could go on an on.....Policy and Personel need change and change soon!
