The Talking Rugby Podcast superthread 2012/13, by the fans for the fans!

Gracelessly Tom

With the confirmed departures from the Leinster squad and the rumours of Luke Fitzgerald heading down south coming on top of a likely departure next season of Joe as well as probable retirements for O'Driscoll, D'Arcy and Cullen do the panel see the coming three or four years as a transition period for Leinster?

Winters

Cheers

I would like to hear questions put to your Ulster fans about Ulster's loss in form at this crucial stage of the league run in.

Also, I would be intrigued to know who they all tip for the Top14 title.

I'm sure Monsieur Delon Armitage could get a mention too?

Dunno if we'll have the time for that, since we've a lot to get through...

Anything more specific to the Rabo matches of last weekend or the European ones to come?

Fire in the questions for tonight's recording! I think there'll be a few!

Anything Lions, Schmidt/Ireland, Heineken or Amlin related!

"How can we convince Hartley to give Rory his Tour Spot?"

duckysauce

Is Sam the right choice for captain ?

Deano7788

Who's the unluckiest player to miss out from any of the 4 countries?

BluntGuy

I don't really post here but I listen to the podcast and lurk often enough. It's a great show.

There's an interesting thread here about breakthrough players. Do you guys see players like Henderson, O'Donnell, Olding etc. getting capped this summer and possibly featuring in the autumn? Also where do you think we should set our expectations with Schmidt as coach, what kind of style might he play?

Hi Bluntguy, thanks for posting! Will adapt this question to the Schmidt section.
