    Could someone rank the potential results in order of their usefulness for Leinster and Munster????


  • Site Banned Posts: 1,519 ✭✭✭Higher


    Come on Morris now its time to do your bit for your 'real team'


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 37,978 ✭✭✭✭irishbucsfan


    Time for Lacey to give us a bit of a dig-out


  • Site Banned Posts: 1,519 ✭✭✭Higher


    Biggar surely can't miss 3 in a row...

    Any kind of Ospreys win (even with Leicester getting a losing bonus) or if Leicester win, not to get a BP win will both be good for Leinster and Munster. Preferably Ospreys to win though.

    Basically, as long as Leicester don't get a BP win, it's a decent result.

    After all my ref bashing the last 2 days I think its only fair to say Lacey has been flawless so far. (I'll blame the linesman for the lineout call)


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 18,266 Mod ✭✭✭✭CatFromHue


    Ha I love Lacey's accent.

    "Ok you're going to keep the bind up in the scrum and we'll have a good game......then we're going to get a few pints in the bar and a 3 in 1 in Borza's, Ok?"

    What about a draw?

    Update from other match: Toulouse 7 - Treviso 11




  • low scoring Ospreys win with no Leicester LBP is ideal all round

    Still 0-0 here after 26mins

    Well they wouldn't have gotten a bonus point so that would be an ok result too.




  • I would have Fotuali'i at Leinster in a heartbeat.

    As long as Leicster don't get a BP win its a decent result however a draw or an Ospreys win would be perfect

    He's the best 9 in the world IMO...

    4 try draw?

    Great to see players aren't getting away with shoulders on the deck this weekend.

  • Forget about Warburton, Tipuric needs that Welsh 7 jersey.

    Kahn has some absolutely infuriating performances. I'd love to see him with a coach like Schmidt though, he could be brilliant.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,369 ✭✭✭ongarite


    Should have held there instead of that chip.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,369 ✭✭✭ongarite


    Lovely lovely try.




  • Ospreys with a quality try.

    Scrum half heavily involved again


  • Administrators Posts: 54,423 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭awec


    Going well now, ospreys try


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,308 ✭✭✭✭.ak


    Tipuric absolute class. Lions 7 IMO.




  • Reddan has some absolutely infuriating performances. I'd love to see him with a coach like Schmidt though, he could be brilliant.

    similar?

    Well yeah, but a bonus point is no good without the winning points too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,636 ✭✭✭✭Tox56

    Hopefully McGrath will deliver the goods, has loads of potential

    tipiric is really putting it up to warburton now


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,461 ✭✭✭liammur

    It certainly would, and fair play to them for having a go.
    14-11 now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,308 ✭✭✭✭.ak


    please


    big fan of Smith for the AB's too.

    Fair point, still think he has more potential than genia tho. Under a great coach I think he'd be sensational.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 37,978 ✭✭✭✭irishbucsfan


    similar?

    Absolutely. And Reddan is 20 times better under Schmidt than he was in Wycombe

    Little off topic but I think sob will be on the bench... Don't think he'll get too many games at 6 before the tour.

    And that's why I'd absolutely love Fotuali'i in a Leinster jersey!

    Who do you think would be 6? Tipuric at 6 and Warburton at 7?

    I'd wager that performances in warm up games will ensure he has to start somewhere.

    Just no.

    Dan Lydiate or Stephen Ferris whichever is fit. Heaslip at 8 Tipuric at 7 SOB on the bench.

    Just a guess

    Ospreys have played some lovely stuff here so far, their scrum half (not going to attempt spelling his name) is probably the best in the competition imo. Yes, including Pienaar.

    Thats not what I want, its a guess at what Gatland might do..

    Lydiate has a good chance


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,207 ✭✭✭decisions


    Do they not know not to mouth off at Lacey?

    Lydiate, tipuric, heaslip.

    I think there's some history between Barnes and Flood.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,207 ✭✭✭decisions


    Great scrum.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,308 ✭✭✭✭.ak


    Hopefully Waldron makes things worse for Leicester


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 479 ✭✭armchaircoach


    Score
