    Just for a little bit of fun - everyone post up their expected match 15 for the Italy game, whoever gets the most out of 15 positions correct (exactly correct as well - player in same position) gets crowned the EO'S of Boards.ie :)

    Keep discussion on "wtf, why'd you pick that donkey on the team?!" out of it - this isn't the team you want to see, its the team you expect to be picked.

    If we have more than one winner, then we'll split it - one can be the E' of boards.ie, the other the OS ;)

    Obviously we have Andrew on the bench, who can come in on the wing or at centre in the event of an injury. . . . . . .

    Probably looks like bull**** but it is goooder. . . . .

    Cant see him picking anything different than that given the 22 he has selected. Id love to see him put faith in Jackman and Heaslip but dont think he will.

    I dont see it all 100% coming true, but i figure there'll be two changes to the standard starting lineup in an attempt to look liberal.

    yea they dont sound good on paper but munster are the most successful team in the euro cup, bringing the munster team to the ireland set up might replicate this success.. I mean these lads are obviously doing something right

    it is when you make a stupid comment about making the whole team munster players with leinster,connaught and ulster players comin in for your imports.get over yourself.

    the fact that heaslip,jackman and gleeson should all be starting ahead of their munster counterparts in the situation we are curently in,argues that point

    I agree Shantor-
    wait until we see Trimble attempt to tackle some of the Italians on saturday and the you will have a few more begging to put Munster players in the team-Just look at the season Ulster have had,,,what a joke...:confused:

    yeah because munster have loads of centres/wingers that are irish :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,473 ✭✭✭Size=everything


    bringin in all munster apart from centres and wings will do nothing thats the case anyways its not a winning formula

    wat we need to do is let go of this idea that munster should basically form our pack, Heaslip, Jackman and Cullen all should have been selected.

    No ulster players should be on the team sheet [apart from Bowe but hes left them now]

    Not trying to stir up provincial ****e but its the truth.
