    He must be 40 if he's a day.

    Apologies, was thinking of Everitt

    O'Sullivan has implied that Paul Burke would be his third choice at OH. He's 32, and had his day at international level. Why not throw someone like Dunne, Everitt or Staunton (although I do think he's been tried and found wanting in the past) in against Romania? All three have significant top level experience so would be unlikely to 'freeze' against a second rate side like Romania at a 60% full Landsdowne Road.

    Agree as well that there is no point having Stringer on the bench (same way there was no point in giving him so much game time in Japan). Give someone else a chance. We'll need three scrum halfs for the RWC anyway, right?

    The only justification I can give for starting Byrne is that he's not getting his game at Saracens and so needs all the competitive rugby he can get. Apparently Eddie has had a word with Bob Casey and told him what he needs to work on. I guess Eddie knows best..........

    Trimble at 13 is an odd choice

    Young Trimble has played the vast majority of his rugby at 12 and 13 for Ulster. Went ok at 13 last weekend against Australia too.

    I can see him excelling on the wing in future though.

    Great to see humphs getting a start. The competition at 10 is very healthy but unfortunately once Humphreys moves on I dont see anyone challenging ROG for as long as hes around.

    If in a few years another province produced a promising young 10 I wonder which of the two would turn out to be better.

    We should have a detailed and highly antagonistic chat about it.

    All hypothetical of course.
