    Quotes, but I reckon Joe could have an actual affair with Zebo and they still wouldn't even consider replacing him.

    is the above a Freudian slip, doth protest too much me thinks.
    Is this your first interaction with Venjur or what

    Hook had a go at Schmidt for picking "second-rate foreign players" (Payne) and Schmidt called him out on it. Not sure it was glorious tbh.

    (also, for those who thought only Aki got stick, see above)

    I could have sworn that was METT Willams, but there's enough hot air in the world for it to have been both of them I suppose.

    There's still a group of Scottish fans who will forever hate Williams for dumping Chris Patterson from 10 in favour of 2nd rate Dan Parks. Williams got so much wrong with Scotland.

    Matt Williams expressed concern that Payne wasn't offering enough in attack during the RWC. It was nothing to do with his nationality.

    Hook was just on a rant. He made that "second rate" comment a week before we won the 6N btw.

    Hook will get no respect from me, he's burned any reputation he might once have had with his non-rugby comments, and even within rugby he retired from "analysis" about 15 years too late.

    Yeah putting "FACT" after a sentence doesn't make it true.

    watching the rugby this autumn on rte was so nice without the chainsaw in situ.
    even brent has upped his game, the serious question is did hook ever have anything worth listening to say, i am not so sure.

    FACT.

    I'm sure he's still an inspiration for many. The same way as Homer Simpson is an inspiration for parenting.

    correct, the corkonians treat hook like a god and mattie williams is credited with laying the foundations in leinster .
    sexton is on record as saying such

    whats the story with Andrew Trimble, was he injured for the autumn internationals or just out of form. i hope he is involed in the 6 nations.

    He is 33 and not in great form. He will be 35 during rwc 2019 and backs generally decline earlier than forwards. He is in the last year of his contract and unless his form picks up it may not be renewed.

    Same position as Tommy Bowe really.
    So, that's not applying to R.Kearney? Because he's 1 year younger, of course...

    Because he is in better form and still the best option at his position and because at least experienced player was needed for the team in the backs.

    Which you well know. Perhaps the 1 year age difference makes a difference but it's more the performances.

    I like the way you feel competent to declare the end of a player's career. In advance.

    Bit sad really.

    Not his careeer. The end of the stubcorn scornful stance toward other FB like "the best option at his position"

    He seems to be this Automn. Nobody can be that sure he'll be next Autumn.
    Maybe. But the problem is how certain some are he'll be 1st choice in 2018, or worse in 2019

    The only stubborn scornful stance around here is the one you’ve pushed around here and contributed to this thread becoming unbearable the last 4 weeks

    Your logic is flawed. It seems to suggest that Kearney's selection is wrong, despite your mealy-mouthed admission that it was right this Autumn. And from that shaky foundation you go on to predict that it will be wrong in a year's time when you can't even tell that this will happen.

    Joe Schmidt's selection of Kearney this Autumn was vindicated in his performance. He also selected Conway, who also vindicated his selection. Despite your insistence beforehand that Kearney was not up to it, he proved you wrong. But you continue to push this opinion as the correct one.

    That's called flogging a dead horse.
